Had my GP appointment this evening. I actually got to see one of the three resident GPs (and the one I regard as "my" GP too) rather than a locum, so a good start. She listened to my explanation, nodded along, agreed with everything the consultant had told me, and has given me a Seretide inhaler, which is a combination of steroid for prevention of problems and also a slow bronchial dilator (like salbutamol, but longer/slower acting). I'm to try this for a month, then go back in for re-assessment to see if it's working (I already have the appointment) where I'll hopefully end up with a repeat prescription. If not, something else will be tried. :) But my chest infection appears to have cleared up, so the antibiotics are doing their job. Just another 2 days of those left. Progress is good, I am fairly optimistic about it all at the moment really. :)
