A very warm welcome to you Mark.
There is a programme on radio 4 at noon today which you may find interesting. I think there are a lot of folks worried about the changes to pip and the way they are being treated.
You might want to go back to your GP if you feel you may have another infection coming on.

Just listened to it. Sue Marsh was excellent. The article was about 40 minutes in and was mainly about ESA. Earlier there was a very funny article on online dating - made me laugh anyway! X
Hello and welcome Mark. If your infection is not improving/coming back you probably need a stronger antibiotic. Amoxycillin is not really recommended for chest infections. I'd go back to the doc. Good luck.

Yes i had a chest infection at the time. It was not till after that they gave me xrays and spirometry tests and realised i had copd as i was complainig about breathlessness for a few yrs and it was always put down to something else at the time.
Hello Mark, welcome to the site. Hope you feel better soon. Auntymary xx

Manythanks ok today just wading through all these replys wish i got as many on the dating line
My cons who specialises in cf/bronch has prescribed amox in the past - mind it was 3g per day. Mark if your infection is coming back it could be you needed a higher dose for longer, or it could be the bugs who are taking up residence in your lungs are not sensitive to amox and as auntymary says you may need a different ab. It would be an idea to talk to gp about putting in a sample of sputum. X
Hi mark and welcome. amoxycillin dosn't work for my chest infections, go back to the doctors.

Hello from me too Mark and welcome to this site. I can't help with your questions about DLA as I'm lucky enough to not need benefits and still able to work.

Welcome Mark and hope you get the right antibiotics for you. I am carer for my hubby Pete and he has had a few different ones over the time. Take care and look after those lovely dogs of yours. Pets are great company. xx

I have various health probs and one of the GPs at the practice said I have got to stop seeing any Doc who has a space. When you got multiple probs its best to stick to the same GP. Since I have done this the treatment I get is much better. My granddaughter is HIV pos so I know how that can interfere with other health probs. I am on my 7th lot of antibiotics since September. Act sooner rather than later.
regards

Sounds good to me.but all is as well as can be today .no rain get the dogs out today. Takecare mark h
