So anyone who speaks to me over msn or follows me on twitter will ahve seen the past few days I ahve been moaning about my chest.

I knew this time would come
I have a cold. I have been so good and not had a cold for quite a while. I am pretty sure it is a cold and not hayfever as the pollen count in our area is pretty low jsut now and I feel pretty miserable. I guess I have done pretty well. But then… Continue reading I knew this time would come
Inhaler Technique
This is something that I wouldn't say bugs me but it is a gripe. When I go to have my asthma review with my health centre (which I think is a waste of time- because not wanting to be big headed but I end up teaching them more about asthma than they tell me!!!) But to the point. They always tick… Continue reading Inhaler Technique
Summer Time
I have finished uni for the summer now and as much as I enjoyed it I am glad. I am completely shattered. I guess this is one of the things I will need to learn to juggle more effectively: the asthma and my placements and not letting myself get too tired. It will be hard to learn to do as… Continue reading Summer Time

Off to my consultants appointment. But not before a strange call from my GP surgery telling me my blood test result was normal but my theophylline level was 14. I have no ideas what the therapuetic range is and have no idea if 14 is good bad or ugly?? Guess the call came at the… Continue reading off i go…
There must be something in the air
.....oh yeah it all that pollen. I think there is something bad in the air just now. So many of my lung friends are struggling jsut now and I too am finding it tough going. If I am honest I really have not felt great since coming out of hospital. I am finding I am… Continue reading There must be something in the air
Back to the grind.
So I went back on placement today. I was so glad to be going back but at the same time I was really nervous about how I would cope. I have found since being discharged I am unusually tired and getting much more shortness of breath. I knew I had to go back and did… Continue reading Back to the grind.
