thanks means alot ,feels like a losing battle at times been feeling really low alot recently not like me at all don't have self pity I just get on with it normally. I get house bound alot but I have been spending alot of time in bed , I been in bed for 8 days now am so tired and drained .my son is great does so much for me he is only 21. You try to do ur best as much as u can as a mum I was a single parent I manged to keep it from children as they grew up I wanted them to have a normal childhood, butmy son says to me why mum keep it from us for years. I could of done more .then I said that's why . It helps talking to ppl like ur self who know how u feel and that means the world. How are u doing how s things for u Dee,hugs xx

It does get you down when your stuck in the house, your son sounds very supportive. This is a great forum for support. I just want to get my health back: 6 weeks into an Asthma Exacerbation and no end in sight. Slow recovery. Will see what GP says today x
