Multiple Sclerosis

I've got Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). The medications i take make living during a pandemic fraught with anxiety. I'm watching my bubble slowly evaporate, and it's hard. This is a lonely time, but even more so for those with immune compromise. It is not an easy time for anyone, that's for sure. I'm finding I'm more easily losing patience with people that talk out of both sides of their mouth. I just want to be able to go to the store without being a nervous wreck over the people around me that have no courtesy to respect my now much larger bubble of personal space. I want my kids to be able to play with their friends. I want to be able to see family without worrying about where they've been or who they've been around. Yes i know crud existed pre covid, but this is something the medical community is trying to figure out and to catch it now would be high risk for me.

@yellowAcai2004 I understand. I find it really frustrating when people who seem to be in fairly good health aren't following the recommendations and then putting others at risk when we need medical treatments. We try to reduce our risk, but there's only so much that we can do and it is pretty limiting. I am grateful for the internet and the options that do exist online, it does help to connect to some others although it isn't the same. Hopefully the situation will improve soon!
