After another visit to the doc - a GP registrar whom I'd never seen before - He prescribed a different type of inhaler called a Breezhaler; a capsule that's inserted into a little gadget, pierced, and then inhaled once, just once a day. I can't believe what a difference it's made!! Why did it take 3 docs' visits to be given this?!
I now breathe normally & hardly even cough! A new lease of life! 8)

When I got it from the pharmacy, I had to give them a phone number, as they said that after 2 weeks, they would call me to find out if it was working, so maybe this medication is on some kind of trial? It's indicated for COPD, although I have never been diagnosed with this. Anyway, I'm very grateful for it!

By the way, here I am beside the Castlerigg stone circle! Amazing place with wonderful views all around.

A better view of the circle.

I'm so glad you are now breathing better with the new medication.:)

Castlerigg is a lovely circle. We used to visit it regularly when we went to Cumbria. :)

Glad you are feeling better, Helen. A thumbs up for big, bad, greedy Pharma. (I couldn't resist.)
That is indeed beautiful scenery.

Helen, I am so glad you're feeling better. Have you been given a new diagnosis? Do they still say you have a lung infection or is it something else?

I've got yet another chest infection. :roll: I usually get one straight after coming back from being away, but this one just happened.
On anti-Bs & steroids again. :roll:

I enrolled at a surgery in an area called Sketty here in Swansea, but the docs seem very un-empathetic - not a patch on London doctors. :(

Feel better Helen!!! Have you been away or has the entirety of the move weakened your system enough for the chesties?? So glad Alfie is better (they are worth every cent aren't they, Theo just cost another same for his allergy and fungal treatments...I call the vet the bank where I deposit large sums, ha :lol: ). Don't forget to take yer probiotics!! Merry Christmas everyone. Sending lots of love!!
