Well I lost the ability to breathe  so had to go to the docs. She gave me antibiotics and a massive pile of steroids (take 8 at a time) and they seem to be helping.

Still got all the other symptoms so not much of a change here.

 

Fuckin bored out my nut sitting here all week

 

 

But on a plus note......it looks like I've stopped smoking

Prednisolone by any chance!!

 

For 6 months i was on 12 of them a day 60mg - put so much weight on them - looked like a hamster with cheeks stuffed full of food!

That's the one mate aye.... Twice a day I've to gub them.

 

Just shows how some docs aren't even listening to you tho...

I told her I can't eat or sleep n she gives me a prescription saying "take the first dose when you wake up and if you take the second one after 6ish you won't be able to sleep"!!!!

Then I get them n it says "take with or after a meal"

FFS, They don't make Scottish people like they used to. So much for Braveheart ;).

Seriously though, chest infections are horrible. I've had a few in the past and it's the one thing that always knock me sideways. Hopefully you've still quit smoking because since i stopped i've not had any bad chest infections. I one had it so bad and couldn't stop coughing and puking every morning that i ripped my stomach lining and was on pills to help with the healing for 6 months.
