Please ring 111 for advice. A change of colour in mucus can indicate an infection.
I need to go Specsavers I thought it Read " Mucus Queen" had to squint my eyes. I too am having a little problem, though not Green, If it goes to Green you would normally have to have AB's, Contact your Respiratory Nurse. They are there 24/7. Good Luck Emily.

I’d love to know where these 14/7 respiratory nurses are! None at all for me, not at hospital or GP practice or anywhere. 😢

Likewise! My practise respiratory nurse turns pale if I even ask her a respiratory question when I’m having my bloods done and wouldn’t even do my spirometry as I’m apparently too complicated!
in reply to Fennella02
The nurse at my practice is lovely but can’t even say bronchiectasis. I keep my main relationship with my consultant and her secretary and my ongoing management down to my own experience which is far greater than my GPs. The best thing about my GP practice is that they cooperate with everything that my consultant says. They have admitted that having me as a patient for 18 years, with lifelong bronch who knows what she is dealing with has increased their knowledge of its management. My biggest gripe is with government discrimination between cf and non cf bronchiectasis which is a silent scandal.
Our surgery the nurse brings about 6 weeks to check ok and arrange check up. One thing I can say is our surgery have been brilliant with me.

Hi LP, Mine are here, I have my Pink Respiratory card in front of me, Mine are based here in Nottingham, I can call them anytime, I know most of them, At The Rehab Classes they give this information out. xxx
in reply to Hacienda
Rehab Classes? Ha Ha Ha! Refused at every point because of bronch or postcode. Good thing that I had six years of it once each month at Leicester as a child when my Mum found the guy who was developing a radical approach to bronch and is the reason that I am here today to be such a pain in everybody’s rear end.
I hope that you are going to enjoy the sunshine today. My little Twinkle and I are going to take ourselves to the canal to watch the ducks flirting.xx

Lovely for you. Not available everywhere and certainly not in Birmingham or Warwickshire. Bronchiectasis adds another blocking of services into the mix. As I always say. Respiratory care in the UK is a shambles.
in reply to
I got hold of nurse available 9-4 ,,over weekend and I live in Birmingham
in reply to
Good for you. I live in Warwickshire. My consultant of 30 years is in Brum. With bronch you get nothing.

I was just saying
in reply to
And I opened this discuss for advise
in reply to
Well I hope that you feel that you have had lots of good advice from the great folks on here. It is a good thing that you fall into the caregory that gives you access to a respiratory nurse. Especially as you have been struggling so much. My problem is that even if I did have access to a respiratory nurse, I know more than they do about my condition. Have a lovely day in the sunshine.x

They are a lovely bunch I have the sandwell ones and they are lovely...it was one of them that got me on PR so quick when my Dr told me to get consultant who only meeting 1st time today ....they are really lovely
les4560 in reply to
hey girl-anything from your Doctor yet?
in reply to les4560
Hi had consultant appointment...absolutely lovely he said I definitely have asthma but would need further test not just spirometry to confirm copd ...seeing him in 3 months and having test then???? Told me to continue as I am. He said Dr had no right to give me diagnosis over the phone as I have not been fully tested so you tell me..3/4 months to wait
Actually feel so much better today.
les4560 in reply to
wonderful news!
in reply to les4560
I may or may not have copd asked why breathless said had very bad exsasibation (spelt wrong) and could take 6 months to recover...mucus he feels is post nasal drip so I need to see gp. Not sure how I feel to be honest but so so glad I have him as my consultant..he let me ask lots of questions and allowed me to write responses down..he asked if I would take part in some research they are doing around inflammation I said yes..so he took bloods.
Do you have any other symptoms? This can often give you a clue though not always. If you are realy worried give 111 a call and get some advice
in reply to corriena
No other symptoms temperature fine and it seems to be back of my throat rather than my chest I think..nurse has dropped of pot. I am to do a sample in the morning and take to hospital...if it persist to call again. Have he blue inhaler once so far..
