I am.
I’m not eating much so I can take less insulin and I’m not changing my pump sets as often as usual because I don’t know if deliveries of what I need will happen. I already cannot get blood testing equipment.
I suppose at least I won’t put any weight on!

One of my drugs that is not a critical one (a quinine based drug for muscle cramps), and one I think might become difficult to get I have reduced to every other day, so my prescription will last twice as long.

A couple of others painkillers and muscle relaxant I deliberately started to reduce about 18 months ago, but the prescription remained as normal, so I have enough for a while.

Have you called your pharmacy to see what supplies are like? That might help you decide. I am almost down to last supplies of the only pain meds my DD can take ( she has a chronic condition) and I don't know what we will do. Her life is total crap anyway and if I can't give her pain meds not sure what we will do. But I try pharmacy every few days and they will do their best

I can’t get through. They’ve stopped answering the phone. I can’t get through to anyone.

I feel like lockdown will kill vulnerable people anyway - as much as cv would have
