New nurses team.

[Pokermon]

Went to hospital today and met my nurses for the first time. Very helpful and easy to talk to so tha is good. They couldn't give me my results of the breathing test I did as said to complicated and that the Dr will write to me about them. So none the wiser they are going to ask Dr about stopping my antibiotics for a summer break not sure hats a ood idea with the virus still about but they know best. I think.

Pleased you met your nurses and hope you get your breathing test results soon. Some do take a break from antibiotics over summer and it’s something to talk about with your doctor.

Take care. Wishing you well. Xxxx

Please do not worry over having a summer break from antibiotics, they do not work against viruses, only against bacteria. There will be no increased chance of catching Covid as a result.

Hi sweetheart. I am ptesuming that you take azithromycin three times each week. Some people stop it during the summer but by no means everybody. You may be a little more at risk of picking up other people's bugs if you are beginning to go out more as covid recedes. So to keep taking it for protection may be sensible. On the other hand. If you are feeling really well with your chest and would like a break from taking it that is ok too. Most important thing - make up your own mind and don't be bullied into doing something that you don't want to do. You actually do know your body better than anyone else ( with the possible exception of your fab Mum 😊) x

Good news that you get on well with your nurse. Hope you get to hear about the results soon.

Dear Pokermon, I’m really glad the nurse was good and understanding! Hopefully it won’t be too long before you get your breathing test results!

As 2greys said, I wouldn’t worry about stopping the antibiotics in the scheme of covid as they work against bacteria rather than viruses. Maybe speak to your mum and doctor about how you feel about this.

Have you got half term coming up? Have a good rest and do some nice things!

Lots of love 💕

That’s great you have finally met your nurse team. Hope you get your breathing results soon. Speak to your mum and doctor regarding the anti biotics. Enjoy the sunshine /warmth that is coming x

Good to hear you have a great team. I spoke to my Bronchiectasis Consultant yesterday & he advised to continue with 3× weekly antibiotics for rest of this year with no Summer break.

Good that your nurses are approachable, it makes such a difference. Enjoy half term.
