Thankyou Eyes,got my woolie on!Regards D.
So sorry to hear you have yet another infection Farmer. That really sucks.
I know how your feeling farmer. It seems like a dream when I had one infection after another but I was put on azithromycin. Good whilst it lasts xx
Just when you thought it was safe to go out in the world. Well on its way to you is a get well quick but cozy comforting hug.
Love Dozy xxx
Sorry to hear you about you getting another infection but knowing you farmer you will get through it so good luck
Aww, I'm sorry to hear you've got another infection Farmer. I hope you've caught quick enough to nip it the bud. x
Take the pills FarmerD and ride it out, then come back fighting fit and maybe next time you'll ditch the steroids. I'm on permanent prednisolne, its just the dose that varies. I got down as low as 6mg once but it didn't last. My lungs inflamed and it was back to 30mg. I'm currently on 11mg so I'm happy with that for now until the next flare up comes. At least I manage to keep myself out of hospital these days with a combination of pills and exercise.
Look after yourself FarmerD.
Hi Tony,been on pred.all of this year ,hope to b e off it for appointment with Dr "coils" Shah in February.So annoying on penultimate day of 4mg week and now back to 30mg.Do you come down 5mg a week,then 1mg for the last 10?I,ve found now the Aminophyline is working it,s a bit easier.Take care D.
So sorry to hear that, Farmer D. I know you 're hoping to get in top form ready for Royal Brompton. Hope you get over this infection quickly and back on track.
Sorry to hear you have another infection - at least you know you can feel better! Take care, look after yourself and wishing you a very speedy recovery xxx

Get well soon FarmerD and take care during the winter months especially. xxxx
I feel your pain, doesn't it get on your nerves. Keep warm, hope you feel better soon.

Have you tried manuka 25 and garlic daily they are very good for clearing infections also antibiotics all instead of steroids? I am aware that steroids are good for lung infection but I personally try and avoid them whenever possible too many side effects! Also of course drinking plenty of water and if you manage. A little excercise so much the better
Try and keep positive x
Hi Blue,Manuka is a bit beyond my budget although I do like the cheaper one(15) on my toast.WhenI moan about having to up the steroids again the doctor( various) always says " we need to keep you alive for your appointment". This is the appointment with Dr " coils" Shah for valves or maybe coils.I,m finding it a lot easier to come down off the steroids now the aminophiline is working,I just like to moan sometimes lol.Regards D. Ps. I eat a lot of garlic,love it.
Get well soon FarmerD, we are all with you and hope this infection gets zapped soon. Best wishes and keep on eating the garlic. X

Thanks Ro,I,ll get there eventually.Regards D.
Sorry to hear you have another chest infection Farmer D it's the time of year we all dread. When I went for my yearly test the nurse wanted me to go on daily steroids but I refused because of putting weight on and having lower back problems and the knock on effect they have.
Hope your feeling well soon farmer D that big chap in a red suit will be hear soon
Hi Farmer D sorry to hear you've had a set back.....so close.......so far away............keep fighting you'll get there.
