I'm out of hospital for 3 weeks after having pneumonia and asthma....and at the moment I'm worried I may have it again. I have all the symptoms...But yet my peak flows are not really low enough to warrant going into a&e yet...Ive seen a doc and they said its a chest infection....but thats what they said the last time....and when my asthma got so bad i needed to be admitted the hospital nearly had a fit because I had pneumonia! Any advice? Thanks!xx

    Jay ...Im putting up with being constantly sick because I have to....Im on the top meds that I can take...theres nothing stronger left unfortunately! sad

    I dont smoke...I dont drink...and I generally eat well...So im not sure what else I can change in my lifestyle really...unless I cut out work and thats not going to happen!

    And I have to live here for work..Im in Surrey now and its a lot better weather wise than where I was before! Sick again..but holding my own at the moment!
