I am currently unwell, I picked up a virus 6 weeks ago, which morphed into chest pain on a pain level I have not experienced before. Fortuitous that I was seeing my Rheumatologist and she ordered necessary X-ray and CT scan to rule out PE, I have APS.
My APS markers off the scale, and my inflammatory markers highest ever been.
I was given a 12 day course of Prednisolone, which helped very much.
I have been off the Pred 4 days, and wham all my symptoms came back, but along with a really hacking cough, and sorry but phlegm that is bright green and could guide an aircraft down a runway.
GP has put me on Amoxicillan, 5 days in, no difference, I will go back to my GP but am thinking more Pred needed, as much as I hate it, it did help.
Thoughts please.
