Hi all just to update you... I went to the doctors earlier... They're quite worried about how I am and have said that I am not ill enough to be in hospital but too ill to stay at home... They're getting in touch with my consultant tomorrow to see if she can bring my appionement that I have next Wednesday brought forward, my peak flows ealier ranged from 100 to 190 and my normal is around 350... quite worrying.
