I made a small chart with all my meds on it and I use a highlighter pen to mark off when I take them. So I always know I’ve taken everything I should have.

Hi, I’m new to this site and I’d like to say that movement or any kind of physical activity will start me coughing. It is exhausting. My consultant has prescribed codeine linctus for me and it takes the edge off the cough but it never goes away. It’s very frustrating. Especially when I’m trying to exercise when followimg a pulmonary rehab programme. The other annoying thing about coughing for me anyway is that it has wrecked my pelvic floor muscles and consequently the dreaded words incontinence nurse has been heard. Anyone else finding this a problem? By the way thank you for this site, its great.

Hi Mark I had this medication 20years ago. Started on 40mg,reduced to 20mg and was on that for five years. Took 2years to come off completely. I had put on 56lb in that time but I managed to lose it in about a year. Side effects for me were apart from the weight- a hump on the back of my neck,greasy skin , and facial hair. I was also hyperactive, couldn’t rest, I used to get up at night and do housework. I also developed osteoporosis. My lungs are worse now and I am back on the meds and oxygen. Just taking it all one day at a time.
