Hi - the lady on the helpline suggested I post a question here to ask what others are doing about this, which I guess must be a common occurrence. It’s about socialising over Christmas with family members who are out in the workplace and/or attending primary school while I’m at my most vulnerable.
Christmas Day and other planned events fall due on days when I will be at my most fatigued and most vulnerable at the end of my cycle (before the 7-day break), so I am quite concerned about this. I haven’t been in the situation before. I need to check if the school has any vaccination programme planned before Xmas, and I will ask them to let me know if there’s any flu or tummy bug going around before we get together. But I’m wondering whether I should be taking any measures as per COVID times, and maybe restrict my time spent with people. One event we’re planning to attend at the school will be indoors and most probably quite crowded. I prefer not to pick up any bugs or viruses if I can help it, as I feel poorly enough already on a “good” day.
Can anyone share their thoughts or experience, please?
Many thanks!
