Sorry had bad few days, hope change of medication works. Iโm still feeling unwell because of pseudomonas, taking all medication. Fingers crossed for us both. Jean x
I have been unwell and housebound since last October. Had enough now as lost a lot of weight, back on oxygen and no one helping. Respiratory nurse calling but I need oxygen nurse to check me. I am going downhill fast. Hopefully the blood tests I had taken yesterday will help.
Hope you will feel better soon Jean, sending hugs .lots of love Sheila xx๐๐
Oh no sorry to hear hope the blood tests come back with some positive outcomes . Hope you are still wearing your nice outfits and feeling up to making yourself look good xx
Unfortunately no. Been in Pyjamas since last October and bedridden. Broke down today as really depressed. Lost a lot of weight and struggling to breathe. Almost phoned 999 but being the weekend not good and too many viruses on the Wards.Fingers crossed the blood tests they took yesterday will shine a light on tge problem. Keep safe xx.Sheila ๐๐
Oh wow take care , you were so active , it must be very difficult and depressing not to be able to get out of bed as you normally would . Big hugs ๐ค x
Hi Sheila, I didn't get on with trimbow. After a week had bad flu symptoms, bad stomach and couldn't keep my legs still they ached so much and taking the dogs for a walk came very close to collapsing because my breathing just went. Never again. Doesn't work for everyone chook. Your like me, always keep your old one there just in case. ๐
I agree I am really straggling almost phoned 999 but being the week end not good. Im so depressed being stuck in bed for months also really scared. Thank you for your concern xx.Sheila
Please don't give in just yet. I love seeing your pictures of you going out and about, looking so stylish. Try visualising yourself doing the things you enjoy, and do the little things you can that you still enjoy. Chocolate eclair? Yes please. Favourite music? Yes please.
Hope your doctors are able to improve your treatments enough soon for you to get your mojo back xx
Unfortunately still unable to move around. Nothing working. Waiting on blood test results. Thanks for your concern . I haven't left the house since last October. Only wear PJ'S thesedays. Take care xx.Sheila โค๏ธ
Sorry to hear you're still so poorly Sheila, I do hope you soon feel a bit brighter going back on your usual inhalers. Fingers crossed your medical teams start earning their pay and helping you more. Joy xx
Yes they are calling but not helping unfortunately. I'm at the end of my tether and really concerned now and depressed as being couped up is driving me mad Xx.Sheila
You must feel at the end of your tether and I just read you have had bad news about your daughter. I do so hope things improve for you both. In the past when Cliff's going through a bad spell with his lungs or RA or other illnesses I phone the consultants secretary and so far the consultant has either rung or an appointment has been sent, but I know it's a postcode lottery. I'm sure I'm not the only one Sheila who looks forward to you getting back to your old self, I really enjoyed seeing your lovely pix. In my thoughts and prayers xx,Joy
Oh no Sheila. You are usually so positive. Sorry to hear youโve also had some bad news re your daughter. Are you able to get outside either in a car or wheel chair or is your breathing too bad? I find looking out of the window at the birds in the garden helps to lift my mood. Take care. Hope you are in a better place soon xx๐ค
Sorry to hear you had side effects Sheila with Trimbow and have been unwell for sometime , Hopefully the blood tests will show some cause and you can be given more help to control your health issues. As if you did not have enough problems to deal with . Thinking of you xxx
Thank you really worried now and had bad news re my youngest Daughter I'm really struggling and need to be on my feet and able to breathe xx.Sheila ๐
Do you have a hand fan ? that can often make breathing a little easier . Iam sorry to hear you have bad news about your daughter do you not have a freind you can speak to on the phone or is your breathing impairing that too. I would try 111 for your health. The community health system does not work well when people are in crisis does it.? We have a little network in our area which helps even if only with calling someone to chat or let them know you are stuck. Hope things improve over the weekend if not though do not hesitate to call NHS for help. Try to stay calm not easy if you can't breath take care xxx
It was the same for me. On the third day last Sunday I went A&E as I was coughing so much and they gave me antibiotics. I couldn't stand the horrible taste in my mouth all the time with Trimbow. Dreadful leg cramps and stomach pains, diarrhoea, dizziness so I overbalanced, couldn't sleep and had no appetite. Phoned the pharmacy Monday and was told to stop Trimbow. Back on Trelegy after a day off. Now back to normal after feeling I'd been poisoned. The respiratory nurse is phoning on Monday.
