Had my letter from the PH consultation in Sheffield Hallamshire earlier this year and on their it stated I should get my GP to put me on Iron Tablets on top of 50% increase in my sildenafil. Normally it is like asking for their login details to their bank? But it went without any problems. The only strange thing was they have a new rule on prescriptions that you cannot order more than the dates will allow? So, when I picked them up, I had 3 months' supply?
I now take 30 tablets a day!
I also went down with Covid start of the month had 4 days of feeling unwell but just got a persistent cough now?
Stay well

So good to hear from you Offcut. Ok so now you take one more tablet per day than Pete. Hope you’re doing ok and recover from covid very soon. Wishing you well. Xx
Thanks, I would rather not take any but you have to go with the flow? They keep me upright . Just fitted a new camera under our porch feeling it now so need a few more days methinks?
iBetter of without Tramadol, made me weird - I take 3 or 4 oral syringes of morphine instread. Wished I took nonthing, it's like a conver belt with pills/
I went on a course though my GP to get me off opioids and it worked for me my pain when on Tramadol and now I am off them completely is no different. yes there is pain but I know how to deal with it now.
Good for you, shows it can be done. With Morphine I take when needed. my spine curve has gone, and my cervical spine deteriating. Codiene had stopped working. I get no kick from morphine at all.
Gosh Offcut you must rattle when walking, hope these are spread out through the day. Perhaps a good tonic to help you get over covid and hope you feel better soon x
Good to hear from you, Offcut. Years ago, I made the decision to take the meds and get the best life I could; but the number you take, takes the biscuit! Hope you have a speedy recovery from covid x
Hope the Covid cough soon ckears up Offcut. Taking over 200 tablets a week is a real pain, but as you say, keeps us going. I use the dosset boxes for my mountain of morning, afternoon and evening tablets. Also on Sildenafil and Bosentan as well as so many others. Take care. Jackie x
Yes, they increased my Sildenafil from 50mg 3x a day to 75mg 3 x a day I was on ambrisentan at the very start but they then they found I did not need it as I am not showing any Endothelin? all the others are mainly for my heart and lung failure.
They increased my dose to 100mg 3x per day, been told that's the maximum. Like you, I take medication for my heart (born with a problem, which then lead to weakened, inefficient lungs). Since major water retention in 2022 I'm now also on 7 diuretics a day, plus another one twice a week. It's keeping the fluid off so have to be grateful for modern medicine. 'Count your blessings and make the most of every day.'
I have fluid on my lungs but I cannot take diuretics! Within an hour of taking them I feel like I have been punched in the kidneys. I ended up having to go on a ward and they did trials with different ones not one was pain free!
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Offcut. Must be quite difficult for you. How do they manage the fluid build up?It would be handy if we could have a tap and just drain it off each night.
Funny enough I had a Faceache reminder of an old post today that showed positive on a covid antibody test 3 years ago! So maybe all those jabs helped me in the end?
