Hi Lyngal

Glad the pred helped. 😊 Yes hormones can play you up or you finished your pred, thought it was over and you need another course.. If no better tomorrow book another appointment. Struggling is no good. I wish you better days 🌺🌸🌷

Morning. I also suggest really badly with hormones triggering my asthma.  It's been getting worse as I get older. This past year I have been having to raise my steroids every month to compensate for it. About 4 months, my go put me onto a progesterone only mini pill. This has worked for me. I still get little wheezes etc. But it hasn't  been so bad that  I've  had to  raise my steroids. ☺ Hope you feel a bit better soon xx

Hi I used to be like this until I went through the menopause.  I have my life back!  x
