Hi Nanny, so sorry to hear you're not well. Bad enough at anytime but it always seems worse at this time of year! 🎄

Hope your COPD nurse can supply you with the meds you need to allow you to stay at home & be treated. 🤒

Hope your hubby feels better soon. 😷

How rotten that both of you are unwell.

Thinking of you & hope you both get better soon.

Merry Christmas & a Happy, Healthy New Year to you both 🎅🏻🎄🎁🎈🎉

Hi Nanny, know exactly how you feel and I'm also hosting unwelcome guests in my lungs right now. And yes, it always seems to strike at Christmas. Hopefully you can get by on oral abs until after Christmas.

Hi Nanny,

Sorry to hear that you are feeling rough. Do you also have steroids as well as the abs?

Hope you avoid the hospital and feel better soon.

Have a good Christmas.

Well Friday I was told by copd nurse I have two bugs that require different antibiotics ,unfortunately all they gave me was double dose of flucloxacillin 500 mg 4 tines a day on empty stomach,,,,,,after an awful weekend feeling much worse,,,,I rang the copd team who said I should be feeling a bit better not worse ,I asked if I could take some Doxycycline and he said that's what you should have been prescribed,,,,,so he's rung GP and asked for a prescription for doxycycline,,,,,,I already a box of them ,,,,,so I just took 2 as stated on box first day,,,,,,,,then 10 minutes later I had to rush to the bathroom where I was violently sick ,,,to put it bluntly ,,, it was brown liquid stuff,,,horrible ,,,,,I'm hoping that when I get the prescription later today I won't be sick again ,

I have never been prescribed 2 different antibiotics to take at the same time ,,, so I'm just wandering if any one else has .ive left a message at gps asking if it's ok ,,,,,,now waiting to hear from him ,,, Really really fed up now ,
