So just saw my consultant today, and come away feeling so disheartened. "Yes you have real pathology, you must look after yourself, but not sure what else I can do ". I've been in orange peak flow for weeks and fully stepped up, but not taking oral steroids although now in the zone. Consultant "well your chest doesn't sound as bad as it can!!" Take the steroids if you start to feel scared, you know your own body.
I guess all that would be fine if I hadn't paid this guy thousands of pounds for getting a less meds outcome. He says he doesn't know what else he can do and to come back when I am really unwell.
I am now feeling like a stupid child and want to rebel by just stopping all meds. I know that would be stupid, but hey ho, it it's a pretty common reaction for those of us with Asthma.
I hate it , I hate it , I hate it.
The doctors keep giving hope for a better outcome then taking it away.
No replies necessary. Keep on ranting !!!!!
