Well here we go again...5days ago i ended up in hospital as my breathing had become so bad..it had got considerly worse since xmas..but last wk it was so bad gettin up to make a cuppa was exhausting..had to end up calling a ambulance becoz of breathing & chest pains..so it seems i now have blood clots on my lungs & a infection that has caused my breathing to be so bad at least they can treated with antibiotic & blood thinning injections..but the good thing that has come out of my 8th hospital stay in just over 2yrs is that my consultant has now arranged for occupational therapists/nurses , rocket team & chronis illness nurses to help we with my home needs..im guess my IPF has prob got worse but as i said to docs was i wanted them to treat the sypmtoms & illnesses that come with it so i can still have some standard of life & not just sitting at home rotting waiting til the end like i was feelin over the last few mths...maybe i will get a braak for abit & e,thing will settle for a couple of mths but im not holding my breath prob coz i cant tbh..lol.

So sorry your breathing got so bad you had to be admitted, but glad they can treat you and that they're going to put in the help you need at home!

You've had a rough time - I hope there are better times for you very soon. Sue xxx
