It certainly does Glid Do some people forget they need hands for everyday use and what it would be like with no skin left I shudder to think
Woke up - coffee then showered , dressed made my way to work, more coffee, bit of work, coffee, some fruit, and some Fat Friday Crisps, checked the Forum and here I am
Bloody chest infection, on top of my usual asthma. Been to the doctors, started a course of antibiotics. Coughing, not breathing too well. May go back to bed.
Doctor prescribed a seven-day course of Amoxicillin, which will probably do the trick. If not, I'll go to see him again. Asthma is just the usual blue and brown inhalers, like everybody else, and trying not to overdo them. Previously bacterial chest infections usually follow on from a virus (e.g. a cold), and are in winter. This time, no virus and mid-summer. Oh dear!
No steroids required then? Prednisolone, for example? My hay fever is raging at the moment, airborne irritants must be through the roof where I am. This used to trigger my asthma in years gone by so I suspect that you have had an allergic reaction that has lead to chest congestion and thus, infection. No virus required! Sucks.
Just waiting there, weren't you, Elise? By the way - those secondary live leads for the 999 will need testing before they go on eBay, won't they? :Shifty:
read somewhere a specific breathing exercise can reduce the need for inhalers. anyhoo i'm aff busy as feck. latter
I'm not allergic to pollen and don't get hay fever. Unfortunately I am allergic to house mites which you find almost everywhere all the time (though not while riding a motorbike, and not while on a beach in Barbados - this may have influenced my life choices). I try to use steroids as little as I can possibly get away with.
