Lake and Mountains..

Nice view yesterday after a week of rain and fog in the Jura mountains..

I thought I would share with you that I am back in Lyons Hospital on Dec 7th to see the Consultant in Endocrinology, colleague of the LAM Specialist. I had an Unknown phone call on my mobile from his secretary on Friday. Glad I took it!

So I will have to leave the night before again and book a hotel but hopefully little by little, things will get sorted out.

I started on the Azithromycin 250mg on Saturday it was 2 tablets on the first day then one a day for 5 days. I had to stop the Crestor statin first for a couple of days. Well it came just in time I think because I really was short of breath.

Mum had a lovely 91st birthday despite her operated toe, allergies and blood pressure problems. She was happy to have her 93 year old sister with her. They all left yesterday late afternoon and Mum and I went straight to sleep! πŸ˜ƒ

Wishing you all well,

Love

Fran xx

Morning Fran and what an amazing view πŸ’–...Oh yes the azithromycin I was also given from my LAM consultant to take 3 times a week so mon, weds and fri usually just to prevent any more problems ..that was when i was first diagnosed but no longer on them now xxx I bet your mum was so happy to be with her sister and im guessing her sister did exactly the same as u and ur mum when she got home and fell asleep too ha ha πŸ’€πŸ’€. Bet it feels strange having abs on tap now after all this time being denied them when needed but you have stayed strong and hopefully you will start to get things explained and sorted out ...well must go as need get some breakfast im starved lol take care 😘...Great news about the 7th Dec xxx

Hello Mel πŸ’•

It’s just 5 days worth of Azithromycin. The other one I can alternate with is Pristinamycin.

It must be quite strong because I’m breathing better today.

The birthday went well thank you 😊

Hope I get sorted out..but Im ready to do this 2 hour journey if I need too. It’s booking hotels to stay overnight which gets costly. The admissions clerk talked to me about a special European form on top of the European card. So I have to find out about it because my appointments are programmed they are not emergency appointments, I have to pay and the pharmacy prescription. With that form it will all be free as I have a rare disease.

Wishing you well my Lam Sis πŸŒΊπŸ§šπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’«

Morning Fran

Good to see that lovely view and hear your good news about the antibiotics and your return to Lyon.

Glad your Mum enjoyed her birthday with you and her sister and no wonder you went to bed. 91 year old birthday parties must be exhausting!

Have a good day

Corin

Glad your mums birthday went well. I was on azithromycin three times per week for three years worked really well for me, had to have bloods taken regularly and then my liver decided it didn’t like it any more so am unable to have it any more, tried roflumilast for a month last year put me in hospital twice so can’t have that either :(

in reply to Bryju124

Thank you 😊

Yes antibiotics are tough on the liver..

Sorry you had to go to hospital.

I’ve been on Azithromycin for over a year now and I’ve only had one chest infection (when I was advised by the consultant to take a break from it!) I hope it works for you.

in reply to helenlw7

Thank you Helen, glad it works for you, it is just a five day course. I’m on the 4th and things are getting better!
