40mg prednisolone 5 day course.

Hi this is a hard one I was told I had adult on set asthma in December 2015 so I'm still getting used to it.. Over the past month or 2 I've been really struggling 2 lots of 5 day course of steroids. Last week I was really bad but kept thinking it will get better tomorrow I waited 3 days before I went to the dr and got a good telling off for leaving it too long to get help. More 5 days of steroids,amoxicillin and 6 puffs of ventolin every 4 hours for 2 days even though the night then down to 4 puffs every 4 hours for 2 days then when breathless, she said if I need to use my ventolin more than every 4 hours then hospital, thankfully I didn't.  Then 3 days after finding steroids bad again with the high pollen and chest infection on stronger antibiotics and on a 3 weeks course of steroids 8 a day for 6 days 6 for so many days 4 for so many then 2 then one. What I would say to you is if you are 

worried go and see your gp hope you feel better soon 

3 WEEKS ?  Do not leave this problem, get yourself to another doctor because this is ridiculous. One year I "left it" and ended up in hospital with pneumonia - do not play around with breathing difficulties .. Good Luck ... . . .

Hi there I have just come back from the outside of hours service who listened and checked me over again she did a lot of listening and tapping get on my back and wants me to have an emergency chest xray asap I have also been put on additional antibiotics. They think I need have phlemonia which scares me because the thought of death!!!! Doctors for me again in the morning and xray too. Thank for your support

Will i be able to get another sick note for recovery after all this I'm feeling so washed out and down in the dumps. On day 2 of clarithromycin it tastes horrid and makes me have morning sickness feeling all day and headachey had my xray today and will not find anything out until Monday

I'm on day 5 of amoxacillin day 3 of prednisolone and day 2 of clarithromycin (had 3 tablets) and I still feel poorly and I'm now worried my doctor won't give me another sick note on Wednesday to fully recover. I work in education and it's a hard job. If my Dr doesn't give me another sick not can i self certify for 7 days or am I forced to go back still feeling washed out. I know I have 5 more days of certificate left (2 of which are the weekend) but what if im still not fit.

I cannot seem to talk to my Dr at the moment and just get told to be patient but breathlessness for 3 weeks and still breathless while sitting no appetite occasional fever it's getting on my nerves and is making me down.

Hope all this makes sense and somebody can shed some light.

Thanks

If your still feeling poorly I don't see why you can't get another Drs note. On a plus point 3 weeks and counting till we are off for summer holidays ( I work in a school too ) 

Call your doctor if you have questions but it usually takes about 2 weeks to feel better for me from a lung infection
