Hi ive just read about you will strat your steroids if still feeling unwell. My consultant has told me never to take them again & instead he gave me a nebuliser which has made a huge difference for me, I’ve gone from having 8 plus exasperations a year to 3 ( still got till November before it’s a full year). At a recent review hes now reduced my Azithromycin to 3 days a week from every day & hes gave me a salt solution to inhale

oh no! I’m sorry you’re feeling so poorly. My theory is that if you’re not ill very often, you actually feel it worse when you are. I think you were right to start your rescue pack, but if you still feel as bad tomorrow, maybe try to get a drs appointment - I know, easier said than done.

sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. I started my rescue pack in the week as I felt rough and am feeling so much better now. It stared to get better within 24 hours of taking the antibiotics, I hope you begin to feel better very soon.

Sorry that you're feeling so poorly and I think that you are wise to start your emergency pack rather than waiting to see if it gets any worse. Treat yourself to a duvet day and binge watch some TV to distract yourself. Hopefully someone is there to make you hot drinks etc.

Hope that you feel better very soon.

Take care

So sorry to hear that, I do sympathise as I was exactly the same last week- had to take to my bed for 3 days. Now left breathless and head full of catarrh and can’t think straight. It’s absolutely horrible!!

I’ve contacted my GP surgery to see if I could have the RSV vaccine but apparently you can’t have them after 70. I’ll be 81 this year…….

Get better soon. πŸ€—
