Experiences with

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)

Hello all, I would like to hear about your experiences of using hydrocortisone at very low doses, as suggested by Dr Peatfield, to pep up adrenal function, with the goal of eventually weaning off it if suitable to do so.

it’s called PEP buddy , sounds interesting https://copdnewstoday.com/news/pep-buddy-device-available-soon-prevent-shortness-breath/?utm_source=COPD&utm_campaign=9718bed78d-COPD_ENL_3.0_NON-US&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_23d08524e9-9718bed78d-73971569

Just a heads up for anyone that is interested in trying out the new breathing device Pep Buddy, it is now available on Amazon American site and they post to GB . You can also purchase direct from them . Here is the link they sent me https://pepbuddy.com/products/pep-buddy-breathing-device

I've tried "go easy on yourself"; '''take each day as it comes"; "any activity, no matter how brief, is good" - and other self admonishment/ pep talks. Any tips?

I really need some pep talk here. I am visiting my kids and really don't want to spoil their holiday. I am honestly terrified. I can only biopsy next month now. Thank you kindly dear friends

I have a PEP scan tomorrow and absolutely terrified I can't, eat or sleep I'm so scared has anyone been through anything similar x

After almost 7 years trying with just one natural chemical, two failed transfers and two frosties waiting for me, i need a pep talk. 

It has been about 7/12 months after cryo and I just have no pep at all. It is getting warm here and to be in the heat makes it worse.

In the meantime...besides being a mess emotionally ,I can't sleep ,nor eat and have a terrible stomachache & headaches. .I'm basically looking for a pep talk. Is there anyone who can help calm my nerves...please??? Thank you n advance.

Hey Fam, I'm having a moment and need a pep chat! I am working on a dissertation and it is happening so slowly. Right now it feels like another failed project I won't or can't finish. I have done so well by using my tools to get this far and now it just feels frahw.

To be fair to Coach Greg on Thursday after I did his [i]Stride Repeats[/i] run he gave me a pep talk (in video) in which he said it's fine to do lots more, and faster, running, than is in the plan, so long as your body feels comfortable doing it.

I have pmr I've had this for 4yrs my Rheumy is trying hard to reduce my steroids and it's been a hard slog since Christmas, when I got down to 10mg to get a pep scan ,I'm up to 20 mg for 2wks it's been very painful and loss of mobility is worrying, I'm just hoping this will help me, any advice would

Any help or pep-talk I’d be grateful for. I really want to give my last run everything I’ve got and enjoy it….😃

Need a pep talk? Let me know. Need a cookie? Come on over. :) And I’ll add a pic that makes me feel better. Hopefully you’ll like it too. My husband and 10 year old are making a fire snd my 14 year old is the one doing his handstand. He’s getting good at it.

Just looking for a pep talk & some motivation from anyone out there that can help share their positive experiences :)

I know from previous experience that I would have awful acid rebound so I have Pep Tac everywhere plus Rennies and I am taking an H2 blocker (Nizatidine 300mg) in the morning. It has been rough but that is my choice as I don't have the patience to taper off, I will just muscle through.

Give yourself a pep talk when you are feeling down. I’ll start... I’m a hard worker I have got it together as best I can I have so much love to share I am a good problem solver I am creative I care so much about other people and animals I am brave ...Your turn!

Or maybe my little “be kind to yourself, you’re still learning” pep talk pre treadmill worked a bit!
