Sorry to hear of your struggle - must be hard. Hope the tightness easies and is more controlled.

Hi, I'm sorry things are tough, I too have bipolar and severe asthma, I had a manic episode triggered by prednisolone and I now take hydrocortisone instead as it is a kinder steroid for the mood. Have you got any support for the bipolar, a CPN or supportive friends and family? I find my mental health is very much triggered by and dependent upon my physical health. I hope things work out for you,

Take care. Very sad about your son, what a terrible loss. He'd want you to take good care of yourself now.
