Fed up!

I've been ill for the last six weeks, numerous trips to the doctors and I haven't seen the same doctor twice, I've been on preds for the last six weeks 40mg a day as I started a reducing dose and got down to 25mg and the wheeze returned so I'm back to 40, I'm still feeling really poorly. MY back is sore at the top between the shoulder blades and my chest is tight, my Pakistan flow is between 250 and 320 and my temperature dips to 35.2 on occasions, I feel light headed on occasions. I've had bloods and chest X-rays both of which were inconclusive so I'm waiting to hear from the chest consultant when he has had the X-ray checked by a radiographer. I had my xolair injections at the hospital on Friday and the nurse did a swab to see if I have flu and I'm still waiting for the results from that, I really don't know where to turn next. I'm missing so much work and feel really listless and exhausted. I'm getting depressed and I'm sure people are getting fed up asking me how I'm feeling so I'm lying saying I'm feeling a bit better... well I really don't think I do!

Where do I turn to next?

Ah you poor thing! I hope your x-ray and swab turn up results for you. Try and keep doing something you enjoy everyday even if it is inside. This will make you feel better like cooking a fave meal or reading a book.
