MS and the Coronavirus - When will everything be normal again?

@Natale80‍ Hello Natale80, thank you for opening this discussion. I'm sorry your physical therapy has been delayed, that must be so frustrating. Hopefully if everyone respects the social distancing measures life will soon go back to normal!

Hello members, I hope you don't mind me tagging you. Have any of you had any appointments or treatments postponed or cancelled because of the coronavirus? How are you coping with that?

At least you can force yourself to many of them at home

My routine physical was rescheduled to a month later due to the virus. Have an appointment with my psychiatrist next week and haven't heard anything yet. We could distance in his office though - it's big enough

@Jeano4000 Hi Jeano4000, thank you for commenting. Let us know what happens with your appointment, I've heard some doctors have been doing "tele-consultations" over the phone or video chat. I wonder if yours will try that?

Take care,

Courtney

Oh how I wish everything would go back to normal soon too, but I've been hearing and reading so many things saying that our idea of "normal" may not happen again for a few years. Apparently they're predicting that this will keep coming back for years following this. 

But I think the study of epidemics is a bit like the weather, you can't be sure of anything until it's already happening. I think it's best for us all if we just do our best to stay busy and positive like nonono said. Wishing you all the best!

Take care everyone!

Thank you Suplkr1 🦋

I don't want us to rush into normal again because they still don't know enough about this virus yet and it would be a shame for it to come right back and bite us even worse than it has. And take twice as long to get it back under control. I'm okay with the social distancing and I've been wearing a mask for a month-and-a-half already so what's a little longer. We just need to all be patient but isn't always are virtuous suit we wear but in the long run we will be glad that we have!

I agree with you 100% 

stay masked for now. 😷❤️🕊️
