    Wishing you a quickly as possible recovery @jonf. Yes, I had 'flu around 5 weeks ago and prior to that tested positive for Covid again for the 4th time. I have Long Covid, 7 infections this year. Cancelled my 'flu and covid jabs as was too unwell each time (as above 🙄). Got physio this morning think I'll be wearing 3 masks just hope I can breathe!

    they put me back on prednisolone for ten days. I have an emergency kit and had already started taking last night.
    a new locum on and he kept asking if I had been near or handling chickens. Seriously

    I blame it on going into places without a mask.

    Hope that you get better soon but copd is a nasty disease if I can call it that.
