I'M SCARED!... Aspergillus Fumigatus?

[ClockworkOrange]

Thank goodness I popped onto the site this evening.

I was beginning to think it was me, last week gone down from 2mg every 2 days to 1 mg on Thursday and all the aches and pains and spots at my age.

Half of me is so excited to get back into cycling, rode 3 miles today. Am currently sorting out our Team for this Years London Bikeathon but deep down I don't feel up to any of it.

Am so pleased to have read your recent posts, I am getting there, just a little bit longer.

Gotta be OK, 'cos I have set myself a target of our Team raising over £10,000 for Leukaemia Research.......I guess we all have to have our little pipe dreams.

My thanks again.

So, I thought finally, after the last Prednisolone tablet that would be it but all the withdrawal symptoms ie tenderness and aches that I have in my upper body joints, will probably go on for another 6 weeks.

There is a slight improvement each day but I still feel like 99 years of age at times.

As of today, new, albeit slow regime to get back on my bike and I am pleased.

After reading another post, I thought it perhaps a good idea to finish this thread off, mainly for anybody else who might be diagnosed with Aspergillosis, to know it can end well.

I think it was on the 23 March 2010 and finally I was off all medication for Aspergillosis.

Now two years later and my lungs are good, so despite being told it was not curable but treatable, mine seems to have disappeared..........hopefully permanently.
