Rubbish kind of day

Hi, I've had one of those rubbish kind of days, got severe asthma, on loads of meds plus xolair monthly - been feeling awful since mid Nov. Been on antibiotics, steroids etc since and then today went for annual consultant appointment. By the time I got there ( have to go out of county to see best consultant in area) I felt really rough. After he chatted and went through everything I left with enough antibiotics to take me through the entire winter and steroids to go with them! I feel lucky to have got out of there - thought it was going to be admission - only just got away with that two weeks ago at my last appointment!

I don't ever know why I feel surprised when this happens to me - I should be used to it but I always am! - Well not surprised but really fed up and exhausted by the whole winter thing. I'm tired really really tired today ....

Sorry just needed to moan tonight ...

Oh dear....this asthma malarkey can be rubbish. Winter is my worst time too. I'm currently tanked up on antib's and prednisone. Never mind, you've had a very tiring day but you're HOME now, with all the gear, and I'm sure things will get better. Look after yourself....and keep the meds going...like we all have to do. You're not alone! Take care x
