How Long To Isolate?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Melksham, UK

I've been given a steroid injection plus I've just started on methotrexate, been told to isolate and then be careful, has anybody else been in this situation? Would you still go to the supermarket?

I self isolate as directed by my physicians due to the medication I take. My husband does all our shopping. We do curbside as much as possible. I only go out when I have to do lab work or to see my physician. I think its the safest thing to do.

I was told to try and keep away from supermarket for 7 days until steroid in my body as its a double risk of immunity being weekend for a while but after that its ok with mask and usual hygiene when you get home . I have been ok. Hope this helps.

I take methotrexate and prednisone, and I do go to the supermarket with a mask on. I avoid large crowds.
