Nothing worse than a blocked nose and feeling shivery ....so very tired 😫

Hope everyone is having a good weekend...I don't often feel like this so I'm being miserable πŸ˜‚

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

Sorry your feeling so badGlad you have started taking the antibiotics but do take the prednisone also. They really are required when your feeling so I'll. Hope you will start to feel better real soon. Blessings and love xxx

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.

I'm hoping I will feel better by tomorrow... I'm on a pet sit at the moment till around 4 ish then I'm off home ... it's worse when you feel rubbish and your not at home πŸ₯°

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.

I think the drastic change in weather hasn’t helped

Take care

Hi, Ooooooh yes, fully sympathise with you. You have done the right thing in starting the rescue pack, and so quickly too. Have you done a Covid test ?

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€—

It's a pack of steroids and a pack of antibiotics that you keep at home so if you feel rough of a weekend you can start taking them hope that helps 😍
