elaine I hope you recover very soon! uksue Same for your daughter…I hope she recovers quickly. I can’t do much, but I would love to make a donation for your daughter. Is there an easy way to send money to the UK? So glad you asked, katybee and elaine. I'm happy to report that it was super easy to make a donation to Rachel's marathon effort! As with other online donations, I opted NOT to make an additional donation to the site collecting the funds. Pay attention to the total before completing the transaction if that's what you do too. They added 15% before I set it to zero.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much everyone. I just showed her your donations and posts and she's crying- she's a tough girl who NEVER cries! When she's feeling up to it I'll get her to come and post herself. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all xxx

Sending prayers for Rachel and for all who are sick with COVID. I had it a couple of weeks ago (my third bout) but fortunately it wasn’t too bad, mostly cold-type symptoms.

You all have been so amazing and generous- thank you! It's 7.10 am here and I'm clockwatching until either the service we contacted yesterday or her specialist nurse contacts us.
She's had a terrible sleepless night with a banging headache, back and leg pain.Totally different symptoms to the rest of us. Nothing I've tried has helped. I'm praying her nurse will take charge and get her the antiviral treatment and that she doesn't have to be admitted, as she had a dreadful experience the last time she went in 😩
The timing is awful as she literally had her Tysabri ( immunosuppressent) 3 days before she was diagnosed.

Oh no. This isn’t what I hoped to read when I re-opened this thread. ☹️ I hope that you are picking up Paxlovid as I type. I’ll send extra prayers that Rachel doesn’t end up in the hospital and that the antivirals make a big difference.

Turns out the service who 'assessed' her yesterday did nothing/ made no notes and her specialist nurse is unable to access the treatment- it's centralised. She's now back in a queue to speak to another clinician and I can't see this being resolved today 😥 why does everything have to be so hard?!

She's now back in a queue to speak to another clinician and I can't see this being resolved today 😥 why does everything have to be so hard?! OMG. I would be crying if I were both of you right now. Can she just go to an emergency room? Do ER’s in the UK prescribe meds? She needs help NOW since she is in so much pain and just had an immunosuppressant. I know that she doesn’t want to be admitted, but if that is what it takes to get help… Here in the US, they still treat you more quickly in the ER if you have COVID. I usually have to wait a few hours to get into a room at the ER - even with a broken bone - and it is an 8-12 hour ordeal. But on Saturday, I was in a room within 25 minutes and on an IV within 90 minutes and was out the door with a bag of medicine 3 hours after that. It was miraculous.

Person yesterday clearly didn't know what he was doing- she's now been referred to the specialist viral team at St Bart's in London who is part of our hospital Trust . Problem is it could take 24hrs,so we've lost 24 hrs- no explanation let alone an apology. I'm definitely going to be chasing this as a complaint but she is my priority right now. I've just been massaging her back and legs as they hurt so much, she's actually gone numb now down one leg and her hand that side, so she is convinced she is developing new lesions. I din't know how I'm holding it together ATM 😩
No she can't go to her GP or ER for this treatment. It's a centralised system with its own funding apparently- but clearly it isn't working properly! No doubt they will just state it's ok as long as she gets the drug within 5 days, but evidence shows the earlier you take it the better the result. I found that out when I had shingles!

Wow. I just opened this thread (yeah, I'm late...too much subbing ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/OrTI4SBmZ2ZYSFv6ag4f.jpg) ).. Prayers for Rachel, your family, and everyone else who has covid. I'm getting ready to walk a neighbor's dog in a few minutes because she lives alone and is pretty sick with this new variant. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/mYSUyHtG9Jrcmm_ydVcK.jpg) Also, I was able to make a donation. I think the Peas will make sure she doesn't have to pay much of that fee herself.
