Stay away from me, then! I've been ill now for about 6 weeks, but with different things! Last one is self inflicted as I forgot my coat wehn I was out all day and got wet and cold - but then I shouldn't have needed a coat on June 30!My PF reading was well below normal when I had a review on Monday, and then I was really struggling with the fumes coming from the office across the hallway which was being redecorated yesterday at work. Ended up sitting outside as I couldn't breathe and was really dizzy, breathing was okay after taking my inhaler but the dizziness stayed for a while. My manager made me drink a cup of sweet tea to get my blood sugar levels back up, which helped a lot too, and was going to send me home till she realised I wasn't in a fit state to drive. I ended up doing an hour's overtime

till I was okay to drive, and even then probably shouldn't have been driving... Asthma sucks. If it still smells on Monday, I may ask that the door be kept shut all day - it was most of hte day yesterday 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 proud to be me.

Hi all, well I can only assume I have upset someone in a higher authority! About 3 weeks ago I suffered a bout of pleurisy, 2 weeks ago I had a fungal flare up & fungal infection. Now I have a bacterial infection, possible pneumonia or some similarly delightful bug attacking my lungs! I totalled it up, in under 22 days I have had 3 different problems with my lungs. it's getting boring!

So I have increased the itraconazole from 200 to 300mgs and I am now back on augmentin and doxy with preds hovering round 25 - 30mgs preds!

So, what else can go wrong . . . . . ?
