@beachbum80 I am on 5mg a day as part of my immunotherapy. I suspect I will never be off of it because my blood counts are low. That's a shame that you have such a terrible effect on it. I guess they must have really felt you needed it. I wish for your sake that they could have eliminated it sooner.

@patriciao I was just looking on Amazon for disinfecting wipes because the stores are all out of them. I have a few but not nearly enough if I plan to continue to go to the health club. The name brands are out of stock on Amazon too but there is a brand that is available to wipe down surfaces - it says "alcohol-free disinfectant wipes".
I agree with the need to go to stay healthy, I really do need to continue to go to help with my osteoporosis and everything else. As you age it is more and more important to keep your strength. It really is a dilemma though. I am confident that what they have in the gym is a good disinfectant but it will be easier to have my own if I plan to wipe down the equipment before for my own benefit and after as the gym requests. Unfortunately not everyone does wipe the equipment down after using it. Fortunately my health club is a very nice and clean one. There are always people around cleaning everything, but they can't follow members around and clean equipment after each person uses it.

You’re absolutely right. My club always has staff out cleaning too, but they can’t be everywhere at once. I prefer to wipe machines down before and after use and I always go wash my hands thoroughly with soap and water when I’m done exercising. Have a good 2nd week.
