saw the Dr who did listen to chest etc. and looked in throat for thrush symptons. He gave me a sputum jar for if it happens again in the next few days ,he wants mr to see the Asthma Nurse ( not much hope there) if it happens again he will send me to see a consult.

He also asked who had prescribed the trimbow etc. I am NOT very confident in the out come at all

He also wants me to carryon taking the trimbow!

Rant over and not a happy person

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Have to question your Dr. not being able to see who prescribed Trimbow back in February !

Is this the same practice ?

Sorry post not clear my usual Dr asked me who had prescribed the Trimbow it was a new Dr at the surgery .

Why all details are on computer in front of him and he couldn’t read that information I don’t know along with the fact I had had two courses of steroids and two lots of antibiotics .. I have been tempted to change Drs but I think they are all the same and don’t want to go from the” into the frying pan into the fire “ sort of thing ,

That was Jan/Feb time as well as the Trimbow.😕

Not what you wanted to hear and no idea who prescribed Trimbow? Odd. Is there anyone take you can speak to as your issue needs addressing. Xx

I hope you get answers soon. I don't like the sound of Trimbow. Not all doctors are the same. We changed surgeries because we were so unsatisfied with the treatment I got at our previous one. Much happier with present doctor.

Regarding changing your surgery, have a look at website of other ones nearest you. Mine has appalling reviews and was mentioned in local newspaper as being very bad. I woukd gave swapped but am selling up & hopefully moving eastwards to Cambs & didn't want to swap twice. My neighbour & two other friends are looked after extremely well by another surgery. So it could be a positive change. ×

Not what you're looking for?
