When i recently joined this group Said i would'nt let COPD get me down . Well at the moment IT DOES! Have been ill since week before Xmas cold,cough etc. Then Hubby had to call Dr 4am cos i couldn't breath.. So ended up at Hospital Dr there said i have bad Chest infection gave me Antibiotics. Back home day after still getting worse ,called Respiritory Nurse she said i urgently needed Steroids. So back to GP. Just seems to be one thing after another, why could'nt Dr at hosp. give me steroids? would have saved lot of stress . And talking of stress we got plenty of that at home just now. Taken wayward son in for Xmas and now he wont leave and comes in Drunk and abusive most nights. Sometimes i will be glad to leave this life for a much better one.Sorry but thats how i feel right now.
