So currently back in a&e waiting to be seen. Knew a steroid drop wasn't a good plan.

Hope you are sorted soon. Remember about drinking the water as it helps when the Vampires come round. Don't let them start reducing the nebs or steroids too soon. You have been on the higher doses a while haven't you? Your body needs some rest time to recover from all this inflammation. Found out the other day, crackles mean mucus and rubbish on your lungs, whereas wheezy lungs with crackle (often described as clear chest) means inflammation, which will be reduced by the steroids. It is never that simple though is it?
I have been on steroids no less than 30mg since May 2016. Really not simple. Lots of IV lines going up. X
Yes,I bet. Aminophyllin probably one, antibiotics another.Do you know which antibiotic they are going to put you on?
Half hourly nebs, blimey you will be shaking like a leaf. Watch the mask does not drop on the floor. They don't seem to look after the masks in hospital, well that is my experience.

Hope you're doing a bit better now! Xxx
Thank you. Unfortunately still in hospital. On 1/2 hrly Nebs. Peak flows just not shifting up and holding. My consultant is due back on on Tuesday so hoping for more progress then. Xx
Sorry to hear there is little change. I am with you as regards the Theophylline or Aminophyllin. Would be interested to know what the Consultant advises in Tuesday.
