Hi, My name is Karen and I'm 64, After suffering for 12 months with a severe cough, wheezing and generally unwell, I was finally diagnosed in August 2017, 4 days after getting my diagnosis yet still not on meds, I ended up in Hospital and spent 12 hours in Resus and a week in the hospital getting stabilized!

After one or two med changes, I'm doing pretty well now and am on Relvar Elipta

I had my Pneumonia and Flu jabs on Tues, and have had a pretty bad reaction, my arm was terribly swollen, red and lumpy, also having some pain in my back on the left side just above my waist, has anyone else had this problem?
