Definitely the shortness of breath and the mucus for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm choking!

I would love to be free from my constant breathlessness and my lung’s feeling as though they are on fire and being ripped from my chest anytime I walk from the kitchen to the living room (which is the shortest distance you can imagine)
I’m totally scunnered today as I’ve been put into isolation for 10 days and my husband for 14 days. My GP told me to phone for a COVID Test but the 111 place would’nt even entertain me as my persistent cough has been longer than 5 days - and I will not go into hospital because I know I won’t come back out with my state of health.

The lack of energy probably caused through breathlessness. I had a bad time over last weekend and resorted to my “emergency pack”.The prednisone did the trick but I know you cannot keep taking it. What a joy to feel normal for a while though.
I think of all the things I did in the past, with no effort at all and feel so frustrated that I just can’t do them any longer.Thank goodness for a supportive husbandD!
