Hya, annieb2013

I haven't an appt with your consultant but I go to wythenshawe and my doctor is called Professor Jones and he is lovely and so are all the staff I have come in contact with, have 2 more appts coming up, 1 for an noninvasive ventilation assessment (not a clue what this is) 😯 then see Professor Jones on the 24th June, even though they are lovely I get so scared on each appt!!!

Hope yours goes well, let me know 👍😊

[annieb2013 in reply to Diane11270]

Hi Diane, yes I get very scared as well are you on tablets..?

[Diane11270 in reply to annieb2013]

I'm on a nebulizer, 2 lots of inhalers and perminant antibiotics 3 times a week and also I am on home oxygen, what about you xx

[annieb2013 in reply to Diane11270]

At the moment nothing, I have been on inhaler steroids and antibiotics but I stop taking them when the bleeding stops xx

[Diane11270 in reply to annieb2013]

Have you been to wythenshawe before? It's a big hospital, really good one though, had a few dealings with them some years ago, had my 2 surgeries there when I was 6 then when I was 18 and they were brilliant back then xx

[annieb2013 in reply to Diane11270]

No this is my first time, I am from the Midlands so it is a bit of a journey xx

[Diane11270 in reply to annieb2013]

Good luck for tomorrow and please try and let me know how you get on, if you dont mind me asking what is your diagnosis or do you not have one yet? xx

[annieb2013 in reply to Diane11270]

Multiple pneumothorax on both lungs which had to have surgery for, bronchiectasis, mild pulmonary hypertension, lots of scarring due to all damage and infections over the years, if I was a car I would have definitely have been crushed by now 😯 lol xx

[annieb2013 in reply to Diane11270]

Thank you so much, that has reassured me, I am a little scared 😟 x

[skischool in reply to annieb2013]

No reason for fear my love,that is why you are having to travel so far so that you can see a man who knows his onions so to speak. x

You'll be in good hands, my mum is regularly seen in the clinics, unfortunately the process to find out with a long term cough is a slow process, however saying that the hospital did major surgery on her for the flesh eating bug, saved her life at the sprightly age of 80! And it must run in the family as they saved my life when visiting from Scotland, I had an internal bleed, and was soon back on the road to recovery,hopefully you'll get treatment sorted out and you'll be another satisfied patient, good luck.
