Gp Helped Me

[Theland]

GP rang me. Asked loads of questions.
I was honest with him.
He prescribed Mirtazipan.
So far they seem to help.
Make me a bit foggy.
Went to bed yesterday afternoon I think.
Just got up half an hour ago.
I hope this drug is the answer and I get back to normal soon.
Thank you everybody for your messages of support.
I really appreciate them. X

We did the lockdown but never did the tests. They are still here :-(
Still don't need them now.
I don't go out and no plans to do so.
Family doing the shopping.
Breathing OK today, SATS 91.

I don't know if you'll see this theland... but if you aren't already, it may be worth making a record of date, time and %age of sats. We have had some on nebulisers, around your level, but they aren't always enough. Low doses of morphine can really ease breathing, when needed. It's only a suppressor at higher levels, so you may be able to get something better to help you- as long as your GP has the full picture.
Best wishes x

Thanks Pixie.
I'll keep a record of my SATS and if needs be, ring the doctor.
Right now at 22:30 they are 91 and heart rate 90.
Thanks for that.

No problem, it gives them a better guide. I assume you have oxygen available at home...
You take care xx

[anneasquith]

I wondered if T has home o2.?

[Theland]

No. No oxygen because I use a vapour pen occasionally so won't give it to me.
Tried going without, but don't have much else in life.

I stopped smoking when Mr F was presribed oxygen at home. After a while I did use an e cig, but the nurse who came in assured me it was safe enough. say nurse, but she was actually a pulmonary rehab physio who came in weekly to clear his 'tubes',

[pixie374]

There are smokers with oxygen at home... vape pens must be safer than that?

[Theland]

In the early days there were cases of vape batteries exploding, bursting into flames.
They are safe now but the reputation lives on I guess.
But we have electric lamps, electric fire, gas cooker etc.
Blimey, we would have to dump the toaster :-(
Just jobsworths in my opinion.

How are you today Theland? You were really down when you first posted on this thread!

[Theland]

I'm much better than I was. The new meds seem to help, bit additional practical!and family problems are proving difficult to cope with, but thankfully I remain being helped, and able to help others.
