Not a flare

good morning everyone

Last week I posted about hip pain and possible flare and asked for advice re steroids. I took the advice of the wise people who replied to me and saw a doctor, he put me on antibiotics and steroids, was obviously far more concerned about the cough and breathlessness.

I am so grateful to this forum because it is the second time I have had concerns about one thing when the real issue was another. I think when you are not well it is hard to pick through the symptoms and the details. Anyway I finished up in hospital over Easter being treated for asthma, but was glad I’d at least had a start with the gp meds.

Thanks all,
