Asthma update

Saw the doc on Tuesday for an asthma check.

I am currently on:
Ventolin inhaler (rescue)
Serevent inhaler (long-term maintenance; LTM)
Beclometasole inhaler (LTM)
Singular (Montelukast) tablet (LTM)

Doc is happier with the way I am sounding. Less coughing (upright), and able to talk for more than 5 minutes at a stretch. The coughing is still pretty bad at night, but it is technically better. Lungs till feel very gritty, but doc says that what we should do (the royal we) is give the preventative inhalers more time to work, and I should feel better in a month or so. Of course, if symptoms get worse, come back.

Asthma Flare

This morning was my last dose of a short course of prednisolone to try and kick this flare. Already starting to cough again when lying down. Hubby says it's NHS24 again if we need it. Joy.
