Being on antibiotics and steroids for two weeks gave me a new lease of life. My peak flow was better, I was walking better and I had energy to do things I haven't managed for a couple of years. Unfortunately, since stopping the antibiotics and tapering off the steroids my chest is getting bad again and I'm producing mucky phlegm - so back to normal in other words!
I had such a window into how things used to be before I got the bronchiectasis diagnosis (and asthma and copd) that I was hopeful all would go away and stay away so I am disheartened to be feeling unwell again.
I know I need to produce a sample and also get to the doctor but can't do that until tomorrow.
Am just feeling frustrated and wanted to have a little moan!
Does anyone else experience the euphoria of feeling well followed by the downer of being off colour again? How do you cope with being on a see saw?
