Back in yet again.

A brief update as I'm on my phone

I should have gone with my first instinct when asked to do another mannitol challenge, and told them to go take a hike. I've been struggling most of the day, things started getting progressively worse until despite having mountain loads of salbutamol via my inhaler my peak flow wouldn't budge over 60% of my best. I was stupidly worrying about the fact it was 12.40am and I was not supposed to have any salbutamol after 1am for the challenge. I was scared, I'd been struggling for hours and was getting tired, breathing has never been so hard. That was when I came to my senses and woke my husband up to take me to A&E again.

Thankfully when I got to the hospital I was triaged straight away and taken straight through to be nebbed, and I saw the same doctor I saw on Sunday night. Whilst the neb eased my breathing a bit and allowed me to slow my breathing down, I was still tight chested and in pain. It was a while before anyone came back to check on me, but when they did they gave me another neb which improved my breathing a little bit more. Another doctor came to check on me and decided to give me another neb, some paracetamol for the pain (muscular from the effort of breathing) and decided to keep me in. I've no idea what will happen about the challenge tomorrow.

I'm now in a bed on MAU1 waiting for the nurse to come and sort out the admission paperwork. Then I'm gonna try and get some rest.
