Thank for everyone’s ongoing interest

The 30mg/day was for only 7 day, now gone back to ‘old regime’ of Carbocisteiene/ Azithromycin and now 2 days later situation much better (The original and ongoing 7mg/day steroids is for a long standing Myopathy muscle problem, been taking for 18mths now.. (starting to rattle with all the daily pills)

Situation today is Sputum is much thinner & clearer and ‘ coughing events’ very much reduced - especially after my normal 2km daily walk round local park - which I find really helps to ‘clear out’ the lungs - also continuing with Trelegy Inhaler - do feel much better & brighter than when last wrote... phew...!

Did give Blood/Sputum during Consultant visit at hospital- no feedback from that

Glad you are feeling better your old regime is more or less the same as mine without the steroids. I only take them when I have an infection.
