Free LFTs

[vivdunstan]

Ordering me more free LFT Covid tests - in Scotland patients eligible for antivirals (including the severely immunosuppressed like me) can still get packs of 7 NHS LFTs sent free in the post, as needed. Unlike in England where it's pot luck whether similar patients can find any free ones in a local chemist. As I just said to Martin "Whatever happens, I'm going to want to test daily for the next week at least!" My cough is worsening, but otherwise I'm still feeling good. I'd expect if I have caught it from him to show more symptoms in the coming days. If I do test positive I may decide not to ask for antivirals, depending on how I get on. But want to know if I do test positive so I know to pause my strong immunsouppression drug for a couple of weeks. Which I can't risk pausing needlessly. But in a Covid situation I've been told I should. The advice varies for individual immunosuppressed patients.
