Hi Madonna1 I think you should contact your GP for advice. Barbsx

Call your doctor.

Thanks for replys.My doctors dont see anyone even tho the reception staff say they are seeing people.Doctor gaving me antibolics and a inhaler to try and ring them end of the week if no better..I dont know how bad you gotta be for a doctor to unlock his door and let you in..I think Its bad they are hiding away when they are needed the most.

My chest hurts all the time! Hate this disease with a passion! Every inhaler I try gives me chest infection. It's so very frustrating! So sick of it all.

Me to.Have no one to talk to cus family friends sick of hearing me complaining that I feel unwell.So I say nothing now and they think I ok as I look ok. I get down the thought it gonna get worse over time is depressing.

I'm here to talk to. If you just wanna vent, or whatever. Would be nice to have someone I can relate to and can understand this screwed up disease.

Yes, Madonna, I do. I have asthma/COPD and scarring from Varicella Pneumonia. At present a bad flare up. Can hardly Sleep.Hot Sweats. Speak to your Doc. Keep ringing. I did by phone and he gave me an immediate appointment. More Steroids and Anti'bs. Chest X-Ray soon. So we shall see. I would think you do have an Infection. But, I'm no expert.
