Hospital disappointment

So my lung function was 49% :( Oh well at least they gave me stronger hayfever tablets, also back on salt tablets thanks to the heat. I did learn something new though, because people with cf don't just loose water when they sweat, like normal people, we lose salt too which means we don't feel thirsty and can be dehydrated without knowing it. Good old cf!

Hospital

So it's my usual 6 week check up today and I'm really hoping that if I haven't managed to improve my fev1, it will at least stay the same! (52%) I'm also having bloods done to see if my recent iron I fusion has done it's job! I'm thinking about asking if they can prescribe anything to help me sleep, as it takes me hours to actually fall asleep and I wake up through the night a lot, which results in me either being a tired grumpy Nicola or sleeping the day away :(. I'm a tired, grumpy Nicola today.
