Don't expect any replies, just letting off steam as I am thoroughly fed up not being able to ride, swim or do anything!


2008 - Coped with COPD
2009 - Aspergillosis and a year of steroids
2010 - Finally recover after 10 months from a broken back

So I thought roll on 2011! Then the last four weeks have been lousy, first a supposed chest infection, so antibiotics and steroids just in case. My body reacted to the steroids, so it was another 10 days of just tapering off the damned things!

I have been so lethargic, jittery, breathless, palpitations blah blah blah.

Now my GP is convinced it is Anxiety and I must agree, so do I. All my life I have coped but suddenly my coping mechanism has shut down.

Agreed to taking citalopram (citalopram) but did it make me rough this morning, so tomorrow will try half a tablet and take later in the evening.
