Working!
Hi all! Just wondering how people are getting on with work or more specifically, partners at work?
My husband has just gone back to work today in a busy factory and we're honestly both quite concerned about him bringing the dreaded bug home with him. My last relapse was 2 years ago and basically took away the use of my left arm and i believe it was brought on by me having quite a nasty virus at the time. Its been a hard 2 years recovering with 2 young children and im still not fully recovered from it. Im so scared of it being triggered again by this covid-19 while my children are still young (3 and 4) but my husband is only allowed time off if we have recieved the government letter stating I am high risk - (which we havnt) Is anyone else struggling with this anxiety? Am i being over dramatic?
@beky , as you are not on any Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs), you are at no greater risk than anyone else of your age. However, Covid-19 is still to be avoided. So, ensure that your husband is meticulous with his handwashing and that he has sufficient hand sanitiser........
Thanks for your reply @stumbler Im finding that there is a lot of conflicting information. Iv been lead to believe that viruses can be more harmful to MSers as they can cause symptoms to flare up. Thats why we are given the flu jab etc. My father in law also told me that, from his own research, the risk is no greater than for average joe but its quite confusing when the gov website is saying that those with neurological/autoimmune conditions may be at greater risk due to the effect viruses have on us. Its a minefield!
