Hi Katie,
Hope you are ok today & not too chilly
Its cold & wet & windy here too so I know how you feel. Had a pretty rough night again last night with not much sleep so I've had a red bull (dont know if you have that its kinda like Gatorade - energy drink) so I'm a bit hyper now. He hee!
Went to the drs this morning. Did not do the Spirometry test as peak flow was bad.... only got 240. So I've been given an injection (in my bum - ow) of prednisolone something or other & have been given a prescription of prednisolone tablets for 3 days which I have to start tomorrow. Plus they have increased my dose of
Serevent which is the long acting reliever. So hopefully I should start to feel a whole lot better though I hate hate hate pred as it gives me terrible nightmares & also makes me muddle things up still I'd rather have that & be able to breathe right now. Anyway, gotta go back next week again to have the spirometry test. Also been given my own peak flow meter & have to keep a diary over the next week so they can track the improvement with it to see if the pred does what it should. The pharmacy wouldn't let me buy cough medicine because I am asthmatic & they were worried that some of the ingredients in the suitable medicine for the type of cough I have might stop the inhalers working or mask an attack. Usually you can buy stuff like that no problem if you are not on anything else anyway its not that strict.
How are you today? Well, I hope. Still feeling better? Sounds like pred really really does know it's business. lol, your poor, confused co-workers...though I'm sure they understand what's up with you. Hopefully you you were able to calm down a bit today, don't wear yourself out! Glad your peak flow is up a bit, hope it continues to go up.
