bronchi saga, neverending
Posted , 7 users are following.
heya, so its a couple of months since my diagnosis and I'm struggling to get my head and indeed my body through this neverending nightmare. for instance I decided to try continue my work as a gardener involving everything from grass cutting to log cutting etc, manage a couple of hours then Im knackered, totally. next day amazing aches in my back, and feels like in my lungs, really hurt. recently had an antifungal tablet for 2 weeks due to fungal bacteria in sputum, did.nt help as in still feeling the same, got montekulast tablets a couple days ago as they thought seasonal allergy thing was happening, so far no change at all! my peak flow fluctuating madly recently despite the Symbicort, having asthma as well apparently. this is soul destroying, I'm at the end of my tether, should I give up work? or persevere? I'm a stubborn s.o.b. so I do like a fight but this is one way traffic here, big sighs...

This week we are having a new bathroom installed. This means that the house has been full of work people and I have found it hard to get the privacy I need to do my physio. I skipped a couple of days. I ended up feeling awful.and now I have an infection. What I am saying is you have to do what needs to be done every day. And there are no miracles only a slog through.
Maybe gardening at a very energetic level is too much but fresh air and exercise are good for you.
Hope you soon feel a bit better.

I have also been on Monteleukast for 10 years and find if I miss any days of my medication, I start to go into a downward spiral. You Need to work with your medical team to find out what works for you.
Hopefully David you will get something that will work for you. Take things easy and one day at a time. Trying to do too much at one time is not the best idea in the world.
Not long out of the hospital myself for a flare up of an infection. Had been in twice in the past 8 weeks. Though hope to be going back to work soon.

The two replies have sound advice from Operalyn and Petered;
I spent an hour in the garden yesterday and it was great, but I wasn't working as you are for regular work (I am retired).
Have your rests and physio' if you can break up your day.
Blessings,
Lesley
