Yay! I can breathe :)

Just wanted to post a more positive response. After 6 days of steroids (seems to be taking longer each time!) I feel like I can actually breathe without fighting for my air! Peak flow is up to 400 on first try so def better than 250 it's been, suddenly started sneezing so there's def something happening! X

Well I guess another appointment with the GP to ask for referral, but feeling very reluctant to ask for another after my recent trip!

No idea what is going on-woke in the night with running nose, thick clear mucus (sorry tmi!) trying to come out and sore throat but not like a cold. Just wanted to be well enough for work today and sleep the night through.

Appt with good GP on my birthday for referral-what a treat

Two year past I was in a similar situation. Demand that your GP refers you to a specialist. It took a trip to A&E intensive care before my GP took note. I have been on steroids since then - 5-20mg a day.

However, I have recently changed my diet to remove all meat and dairy products. It is early days yet, but I have not had any steroids for over a week. I am sure it is the removal of dairy from my diet.
