Unwell

[SarahEG]

Hi folks - I’m Sarah ... severe emphysema ... I handle things by keeping fit, nutrition etc.

Anyhow, have been out of sorts for 3 weeks now. Very fatigued, sweaty, with cold symptoms. This has now turned into very sore ribs and shoulder on the left hand side. Have had a course antibiotics that’s finished now. I haven’t got a cough.

Any ideas?

Hi Sarah you really need to speak to a doctor and get help from someone medically trained. Get checked over to be on the safe side.

I wish you well and hope you’ll be feeling better soon. Xxxxx

Hi SarahEG, hope you are feeling better. I would call my physician if I were you, or maybe Urgent care, if that's not available ER. That way you can be sure, and you can get it nipped.

Take care....there is some very wise advice above!

How are you now have watched you on the blf site you have given me a reason I can beat this

Hello Folks

Thanks for the prompt Shortlungs.

I was diagnosed with shingles! Nothing to do with my lungs at all - I was getting quite worried as you can imagine. Had a rotten week last week, on the mend now, but wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's a signal to me, and I think to all of us, that we shouldn't just assume it's a lung thing.

Must say though - really appreciate this resource and I should look and post more often.

To Shortlungs - I don't know what position you're in, but mine was pretty dire. It takes effort to try and change things, but so worth it. If you need any ideas or just fancy a chat, please message me
