Is anyone else awake

[MelAidJack]

Is anyone awake,? I can't sleep and feeling very anxious my chest is still very tight and still spitting up blood. I have a CT scan booked for Tuesday but not told any of my family don't want to worry them. I have bronchiectasis and probably just a infection

I'm here.

Hi Tom are you having trouble sleeping also?

[TomTitTot in reply to MelAidJack]

I'm sorry, I got interrupted. No, I'm in the states.

How are you doing?

[TomTitTot in reply to TomTitTot]

I generally go about my life with my kinda, sorta, ***** lungs, and then when I can't breathe that particular anxiety sort of wraps itself about my legs like an unhealthy garden vine and becomes one of the most important things that ever was.

How about you?

[MelAidJack in reply to TomTitTot]

Yes I haven't had any issues for the past year until now spitting up blood I never cough which is strange . It's 4.10 am here and I can't sleep and work in the morning, looks like it will be a long day

[MelAidJack in reply to MelAidJack]

Think I will try to sleep for an hour good night Tom and thanks for the chat

[TomTitTot in reply to MelAidJack]

Thank you for getting back to me, I've been so worried. I know it's scary coughing up blood, but it probably is an infection and once they can get you on antibiotics, we'll hope for the best, eh?

Stay in touch, it's only 8:30pm here.

Take care and let me know how the Cat scan goes.

Hi sorry Tom I lost my passwords etc and couldn't login until now. I hope this finds you well . My ct scan came back a while ago and I was put on a nebuliser twice a day, but after a few weeks I stopped doing it and took up exercise instead. I have not been ill since. I have been discharged from hospital and on no medication at all (well a blue inhaler as and when, but its rarely). So all is well on my end please let me know how you are doing

[TomTitTot in reply to MelAidJack]

Wow. How are you doing? I’d nearly forgotten about this post. I don’t always log on very often.

I’d like to say I’m great, but that would be a bit of a stretch.

Like many I’ve had a rough year, what with one thing or another, the pandemic certainly hasn’t helped.

But life is such a gift and I’m very glad to be part of it!

I’m glad to hear from you, it sounds as if your many health concerns got sorted and things are going well.

Yes I am good, sorry to hear you have had a bad year fingers crossed this is the turning point for you, take care

Everything is 10 times worse in the middle of the night you have said it probably an infection but with what’s happening in the world I think we all feel more anxious take care remember an infection xxx
