'Asthma and steroids ggrr

Well here goes, after having controlled asthma without an attack since 1970 plonk I had a real bad scare last week. First trip in an ambulance and first visit to A & E. Breathing like I had run 26 miles in four minutes. Blue turbo haler usless. Had a lovely cocktail of Ventolin and Atrovent. Now on 40mg of the foul tasting white things plus 500mg of amoxy. Forced to rest with pf down to 310 from 420. Cannot walk upstairs without puffing like an old billy goat. Unwatched DVD ready to go

**hugs**

rest up glynis.

dear lungs, please behave for glynis to have a break!

love snowygirl x

Thank you snowygirl. Just been out get meds xxx

Sleep sleep and more sleep and steroids and reliever ? Going stuff a mouse up Nellies trunk if she keeps over staying her visits xxx

Hey Glynis - I'm the same, Pred just isn't doing what it should, and Nellie is having a house-party on my chest. Have a nasty feeling it'll be back to the docs tomorrow, because I can't go on like this, just getting more tired every day.

OMG!!! Woke up feeling ok and Pf 450 woohoo ! At last I think Nellie as gone but the next day or so will tell better.Think mouse did the trick.love glynis xxx

Oi Glynis, take Nellie back!! I've now got two of them doing synchronised tap dancing on my chest...

Ratty, sending u a mouse stuff up Nellies nose <;"">--- xxx

Memory & tired?!

Anyone else find their brain goes on strike i.e. foggy/forgetful or get very tired as well as a few random bad nights sleep too?
