Baseline figure from lung function test
After 10 days post hospital admission with pneumonia I went to have a lung function test at my local hospital. The result of the test was 438 a new baseline. My usual top peak flow is 500 (very unused as it doesn't match my height, sex and ethnicity) I should be blowing 420. One explanation was that

Finally got flu vax!
After 4+ months of waiting told 'on the list' many times, nurse from gp surgery came. Says don't know what district nurses are doing lately. 🤷♀️ Also gave me pneumonia vax- never had or been offered before🤔 No Covid as run out. Can I sue if I contract Covid or is it all forgotten about now? Yet I

Cold weather trigger?
Does anyone else find that getting cold or being out in cold weather / air can cause problems?Cold air in the throat while out power walking, or simply realising I'm cold - it happened today - can combine to make me realise I'm going to become tachy and need warmth and to sit down (get a pip Bisoprolol

Dizziness / Vertigo whilst on Pred
I’ve been suffering with nausea and dizziness whilst on Pred, whilst this has been awful it’s not as bad as the PMR pain I was experiencing. My GP and an a nurse have suggested this could be to do with the inner ear. I do suffer from travel sickness and avoid roller coasters / waltzers because they

chest infection
I am currently tapering from 30mg to 25mg prednisolone for GCA. (been taking pred since February). I have had a productive cough and what I believe is a chest infection for 2 weeks. It is definitely better this week than last week and the guaifenesin I have taken has helped. I do not feel unwell

Wish me luck.
We are having our Thanksgiving dinner today (a day late) with my husband's side of the family. Last year we had Thanksgiving dinner with them and it turned out to be a Covid superspreader event. Ten out of the twelve people in attendance came down with Covid. The two that didn't had it a few months
