I have a supply of antibiotics and steroids to take as soon as I have a flare-up. This stops things getting too bad.

Ask your Dr.for this when you see him/ her.

Hope you feel better soon.

Absolutely agree with that advice. The BLF have a booklet on self-management with good advice on when to take rescue meds for a flare-up.

Hope you feel better soon. Sue
