Thank you its good to get some input from those who know what its like . At the moment its the chest infection that is bothering me , without going into to much detail , i just wish the anti b's would take effect . Dr changed the one i had in hospital to Doxycyline so this is 3rd day on it & so far no change in sputum colour ...its disgusting sorry to much info lol
