I have copd emphysema and bronchitis and had a heart attack last year but have not received any thing to say stay in.
I am being very careful and my partner is worried sick. Will letters still be going out or am I not severe enough?

I have received nothing. the last time I left home was in mid February and that was only for a blood test and straight back home. I have had to start taking my emergency steroids on Sunday as feel as though my lungs are not expanding at all, my inhalers are not making much difference and haven't had a good nights sleep in 3 days.

Hi everyone yesterday I received my new support sleeves for my lymphoedema now just waiting on my gloves ,thus pandemic is very worrying I'm absolutely petrified on getting it ,I know self isolating is ok but what happens when everything goes back to normal ,is still going to carry on because with all these countries that have it to surely someone must have found a cure as so many people are dying and it is so upsetting not to be able to see our families ,my anxiety is really adding more pressure on ,me ,its really worrying for everyone and it must be worrying for our NHS, carers ,etc

I have high blood pressure (under control), Atrial fibrillation, COPD and arthritis (methotrexate and salazoprin). I have had a letter advising me to shelter and isolate myself for 12 weeks. Not had a food parcel (not needed).
i am widowed and live on my own, in a small community near the sea.
i have both a front and rear gardens, and good neighbours who do my shopping.
I still have periods of feeling very down, and missing my extended familY.

Hi there. I received a text this morning from NHS saying that I could open a window but couldn't go outside my property. It also said I couldn't take my rubbish out. I have already been in the house for 3 weeks but am I to understand that I can't even go on my garden now? Have you or do you know of anyone else who has had this text. I am now feeling as if I am in prison?
