I think if anyone has concerns their underlying conditions have not been recorded properly at their GP its worth a quick message to your GP to check. I did this after reading a mumsnet post and it had turned out that my GP had not recorded a long term condition correctly which they have now fixed.
I have a nurse appointment at my surgery tomorrow so will ask if there is any way to check there.
The 'green book' is too vague.
I have psoriatic arthritis - but only rheumatoid is now listed.
I have psoriasis but my arthritis medication keeps it under control.
I take methotrexate weekly, plus other meds not listed.
I no longer take steroids orally - I have 2-3 steroid injections a year instead, last one was in January. But they don't couldn't afaik.
I have also developed hypertension which I now take 2 meds for. This is still being monitored and is still in the too high marker but no longer dangerously high.
But I have no way of knowing whether, under the 'new guidelines' I still count, or whether my surgery has me tagged correctly either.
I initially for shielding letters. Then was told I was in the Cv group rather than CEV. I continued getting all the phone calls for weeks but finally managed to get them to take me off those lists.
Whilst in hospital and at rheumatology I've been told I'm CV and to work from home where possible, follow all rules carefully, etc.
But there seems no official way to know. As it's the gp surgery who will be dealing with group 6 CV surely someone there can tell me?
Trouble is you can't call them to ask as they won't speak about covid vaccines at all, you're told this in the message if you call for any reason. There's also no way to email or text them.
