Winter is on it's way, Chip - we had our first snow in the Midlands today. Lasted 5 mins, and didn't settle as it was too wet and windy, but it's there!Still not worked out how the temperature went up 3 degrees, though on my way home as I live an hour further north, and it was getting later!Jenn Tha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm

OK, so it didn't last long! I am down to 2mgs of preds for the first time in years and was eagerly awaiting tomorrow when I could actually stop them. Alas it was not meant to be, over the last week my breathing has deteriorated, my peakflow down to 190 and my wife threatening to hog tie me and drag me kicking and screaming to the local Shaman, or doctor, which she reached first!

So tomorrow I will be back on 30mgs of preds, again! Up to 40mgs if no better after a day or so. If that doesn't work then it'll be time for a vacation in the local pill factory once more! Ahh well!

Personally I blame this prolonged autumn we're having in the UK, mild temperatures and bucket loads of rain! Everything is wet, soggy, mushy and `orrible! Lovely weather for respiratory conditions!

Maybe it's time to emigrate to the North Pole and become one of Santa's lodgers . . .
