Hi Tracey, glad you were well enough to post, as I was worried about how you were doing. I think the strength you have is amazing. Life has dealt you some rough deals and yet you always ask how everyone else is doing. Really hope you get some rest tonight. Thinking of you x

Hi I try to stay as positive as possible got keep fighting I say nurse is giving me a sleeping tablet tonight to c if it will help me I need some sleep big time x

[Mywalti in reply to Tracey1972]

Fingers crossed xx

Hi Tracey. Hope you are getting better. Hopefully the sleeping tablet, I have noticed if you don’t get a good nights sleep, This has a major effect on how my lungs cope. I am on promethazine which is a mild sedative. Along with the new inhaler. it is giving me some relief. Hope this is helpful to you. Stay strong. Xx

[Scoobs87 in reply to Tracey1972]

Just thought I’d ask. I have been put on Spiriva Respimat, but I have found myself a wee bit breathless after talking it. Can you sometimes feel like that until you get used to it. X

[Tracey1972 in reply to Scoobs87]

I’m ok on it I have no problems to b honest have u spoke to ur doc or asthma nurse about it x

[Scoobs87 in reply to Tracey1972]

Got it on Thursday. Got my own gp on tuesday, just to make sure before my fit not runs out, that I am fit enough to go back, I will mention it to him. I am going to see how I get on over the next few days. Only started it yesterday morning. X

[Tracey1972 in reply to Scoobs87]

Ok hope has some answer for u

[Scoobs87 in reply to Tracey1972]

I’ll see what he says. Just don’t want to go back then be off again. So be better getting approval from him first. X

Hi Tracy, so good to see you have posted, only came into the site before I go to bed to see if any news from you.

I've been on 40mg Pred since Boxing Day, just started to taper and been in the wide awake club thinking of food most nights! When I was in hosp I had a sleeping pill and loved it, very relaxing. Sleep is so healing.

Please don't be in a rush to get home. Hopefully you are asleep now. Thinking of you strong lady 💪 XX

Hi Tracey I admire your strength of character and the way you are already reaching out to others with advice. I hope you got a good nights sleep last night. I hope and pray that you will be able to go home on Friday and are able to be weaned off the Prednisolone. God bless.

Hi Tracey. Hope you get a better night tonight and are able to go home on Friday.

I thought my wheezy chest and cough were starting to improve as i didn't cough much in the night but despite my steroid inhaler and the strong antibiotics I am cough, cough, cough again this morn and my wretched chest is wheezy.

My GP is supposed to be phoning me on Thurs so if i am no better then i will ask him for a referral to a chest specialist although I think there is a long waiting list.

Hope you keep as well as you can, good luck.

Best wishes WK51 FOD
