New year, same lungs

Well this is a good start to the year(!)

Luckily I'm not incapacitated, but just as I was about to drop to 5mg pred/day and then off, I started up with a chest infection. I bargained with the OOH doc but he wasn't comfortable prescribing me Flix on top of my (already maximum dose) Seretide as that is a decision to make with the resp consultant later on in the month, so I'm on Prednisolone at 25mg/day for a few days and then taper down again, doxycycline, and saline nebs.

Eh well, you can't have everything!
