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 xxπŸ™πŸ’•

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 πŸ’•πŸ™

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. πŸ˜‰

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

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 you’ve 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 xxπŸ€—

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

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.
