Hi had my first infusion of rituximab days ago, not expecting miricles but was wondering why I still have a husky voice and feel as though when I get like that (which is quite often) there's a need to clear flem from my throat, can anyone explain this please, lve done a peek test and am reaching 450, thanks

I have vasculitis and after initial airflow problems, it led to Brochiectasis, which means my lungs have extra mucus. This is one of the chronic conditions I have to live with, but not too much trouble on its own. However with the coronavirus about it is scary. Getting to see a chest consultant to check you over could be difficult right now.

My GP surgery has just this afternoon labelled me as High Risk of complications from Covid 19, following the government's newly announced initiative to write to every vulnerable person next week to let them know bespoke instructions about isolating themselves.

These are very scary times for us all.

Had a call from a doctor in addenbrooke's and apparently I was supposed to bring an antibiotic home with me to take 3 days a week but weren't given them so I now won't start them now until next week, and now he gave me direction how to mix these 3 mouth wash tabs that they sent me to help with the mouth sores I get now and again, have to go back to addenbrooke's on the 31st for my 2nd infusion of rituximab, 🙄👍
