I had my consultant appointment today with my usual asthma consultant, my first appointment since my ct scan confirmed bronchiectasis with pseudomonas. She says both lungs are affected, the whole of 1 and the top half of the other. I will be starting a 3 month trial of antibiotics, and I am getting a butterfly thing to help me clear my lungs. I’m on the waiting list for pulmonary rehab. No change to my inhalers, relvar, spiriva, montelukast tablets, salbutamol inhaler and nebules. I am trying to cut down on caffeine, up non caffeinated fluids and trying to eat healthily and walk on the flat for 20 minutes a day.
It’s a lot to fit in (feels like for now) and I feel a little overwhelmed - I just need to get into a good routine. Thank you again to everyone who replied on my last post, it was lovely to hear from you all and to feel less alone with this new thing
I hope you are all feeling well and that the sun is shining where you are
