Strangest Christmas ever

Thankyou Marydoll, will certainly keep this in mind. Keep safe, keep well.
?. Thanks everyone.

Megs, it's standard practice here, if you have chronic asthma or COPD.
I only found out by accident, reading about it on here a few years ago. When I asked my GP, he assumed I already had a rescue pack and I have been like this for over forty years! .

I’m glad you’ve had some help Megs, hope your husband improves.

Thanks friends, No Marydoll , never been as bad as this, I’ll ask the doctors when I get the chance. x

Megs, does your not have a Rescue Pack of steroids and antibiotics to keep at home, for these flare ups.
I have just had my pack renewed, as they were about to go out of date.

Thank goodness I did, as I had a very bad respiritory episode yesterday, spent the day in bed.
I hope your husband improves once the steroids kick in.

I hope the antibiotics work and he feels better soon.
It's good she is calling again to check on progress and that he will listen to her.

Thankyou Gagagran, just had visit from respiratory nurse, got anti bs and steroids, had them couple of weeks ago but more this time. Also showed him correct way of using inhaler that he’s had for months! promised another visitWed. If worried call 111 , I’d been saying that for ages but he may take more notice of her….

That sounds worrying Megs - your poor DH. I am asthmatic so can relate to the breathlessness. It is scary.

Are your GPs supportive? Could you try and get a review of the help available. You should not be left without support even though it is a Bank Holiday today. If he is no better I would ring 111 regardless of his protests. Thinking of you and glad you had a nice Christmas Eve at least.
