Hi Lyn,

Sorry I cant answer your question, as I think your doctor should be able to answer that. I know when I was in hospital after my heart attack and then developed pneumonia I was on antibiotics, steroids, and loads of other pills. I got acute kidney disease and was taken off 1 of the tablets and about 2 weeks later was ok.

I too have copd but only mild and seem to cope with the nebulisers, statins etc. I also only have one lung

so I am thinking I am doing well.

I hope someone can give you an answer to put your mind at ease.

Take care.

Thanks lovely, goodness you are doing very well, like everyone else we have good days and bad I'm not to worried I think you get a bit like that just add it to the list which is getting long haha but I can still laugh, how are you feeling now are you better after your stay in hospital, which tablet can you remember was it, some days I get a bit fed up with taking so many pills and nebs but I pull myself together I don't know if anyone else feels like that, but we take-them because we want a better day

Sorry Lyn dont know which tablet it was. I feel fine now. As for stages off illness there may be 5 like Coughalot says, however everybody is still different and it can vary on how fit you are in general. Exercise and a good healthy diet helps. I do know as I was told to exercise and eat more healthier. I thought at the time how boring. I take it all back I feel 10 times better now.
