No RSV petition yet…..

[Kiwiflyer8]

Hello again

I’m STILL waiting to hear if my petition on the government petitions site about the over 79’s getting the vaccine for RSV been approved or not.

As soon as I hear anything ( if I ever hear anything!) I’ll post it here.

At last I think I’m beginning to feel a little better after catching RSV ( which then caused a flare up of my Bronchiectasis) about the 17th December.

I’ve had a couple of times where I’ve felt I’m getting better then I seem to go backwards again. Guess it’s the nature of the ‘beast’ and I’m sorry for anyone else who is having the same experience!

Hope you soon feel better and that your petition has had enough responses to warrant Parliament considering it.

[Kiwiflyer8 in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you Alberta.

Do you know how these petition applications work?

I thought I just needed 5 email signatures to get it read which I got, but perhaps I should have got more?

I’d be grateful if anyone could advise me please.

Am slightly confused and don’t want to dishearten you, but my understanding is you need thousands of signatures to have petitions looked at.

Having looked at website. You need 5 signatures to create a petition but only get a response if 10,000 people sign. Then 100,000 it will be debated…..

Oh dear, thank you. I hadn’t realised that ☹️

I hope you get your 10,000 signatures. There must be 10,000 lungies in the country.

Hope you get to feel better and you hear something soon re your petition. Could you tell me how they tested you for rsv x

[Kiwiflyer8 in reply to Izb1]

Thank you. When I went to A and E I was tested for Covid and RSV ( throat and nose swabs) Covid was negative but apparently RSV was positive…..

[Izb1 in reply to Kiwiflyer8]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a blood test x

[Kiwiflyer8 in reply to Izb1]

I did have bloods done but was told it was the nose and throat swabs that showed it x

I’m happy your getting better iv had same since middle of dec but I’m still bad with breathing I am same as you with bronchitis did your sputum go really bad mine still not right did it take long to settle x

[Kiwiflyer8 in reply to Redrum46]

thank you Redrum

Yes, sputum was awful and still is a bit, but not as bad as it was. Cough still rattling but no longer hurts. Every chest infection turns in Bronchiectasis which takes forever to clear.Hope you’ll be feeling better very soon.x

[Redrum46 in reply to Kiwiflyer8]

thanks for that it helps as you said to day sputum is a bit better think it’s setting not barking so much but iv never had it so bad must have been the virus take care and thank you you have helped x
