02 assessment.
Back from having my blood gases and walk test done, outcome is to increase the oxygen to 3L from 2L when sitting and sleeping, to increase from 2L to 6L ambulatory/walking about. (Was having real trouble just getting from room to room) Hope this helps and I can get back to work soon, also tried saline

Chemist having a bad day
Just been to chemist to pick up nebules of ventollin and saline. Got home to find been given ventollin 5mg nebules and salbutamol nebules 2.5mg in 5mg but no saline nebules... So been back to get them changed, good job I spotted it. Getting a little concerned as this is the second time they have issued

My story- It may not be all rosy but it is as it is
One day 8 years or so ago I was looking forward to a first time trip to America. I had never been so far before and it was a once in a lifetime tour of California and the Gold Coast. I had been having a bit of trouble with fluid retention in my legs so, worried about D.V.T. I thought I would go

GP and information
Been to the GP to find out what is available in the community regarding IV antibiotics. He is going to look into what is available here - hospital at home entails a nurse visiting up to 2 times a day plus social care - home carer's. But they do not do IV’s! The consultant said when I get these bad infections

Bronchitol
I saw Tyniesha's post on this so thought I would update everyone. Bronchitol has been extensively trialled in the UK and I was on the bronchiectasis trial at the Brompton & am now getting it on compassionate grounds. It's amazing! I haven't had a single chest infection in the 2 yrs I've been on it

Sore Nose
I use O2 24/7 and my nose gets really dry and sore. I have tried several creams and found nothing helps. I get a slight relief from using Boots saline nasal spray but the relief isn't long lasting. My nose seems permanently blocked with dried blood and mucous. If you have any suggestions I'd be truly

Freeman
Well outcome of my visit to the Freeman Hospital, he has basically said a transplant is not for me 1) both lungs stuck to my chest wall due to previous operations. 2) Fungal ball/infection in one of my lungs. He will ask the surgeons if there is anything they can do but he also said don't hold your breath

Mucus Hypersecretion & Irratic Breathing Muscles
Hiya, I've recently been told that after a CT scan of my lungs they have found that I have Asthma with Mucus Hypersecretion and Irratic Breathing Muscles and I was wondering if anyone had heard of these before or have them themselves??? I am being treated for the Mucus Hypersecretion with daily 7%

my husband has continual breathing difficulties. Has anyone any advice on what treatments help, especially with the agitation and distress.
We already use Carbocystene, Salbutamol and saline nebules in the nebuliser and Oxazipine tablets when the distress gets really bad.

Sjogrens-just how dry can your mouth get?
I take nothing for the Sjogrens at present, do have
artificial
saliva
but could get through a bottle in a couple of days quite easily. As it is I try to carry water and have some citrus sweets on me.

How my story started
How my story started, but would like to say, I am now back on my feet, but wanted my story to go out, it is not always the illness that hurts but people can make it worse. My mother called an ambulance out at approx 6.30 am Monday 25th April 2011, after my illness escalated over four days

DIFFERING OPINIONS HAVE LEFT ME CONFUSED.
hello. My 15 month old son has had three hospital admissions since 3 months old. He was born at 32 weeks and was a bruiser!! After a month in scbu we went home and started family life. At 3 months he had bronchiolitis and was admitted for a week, a one off virus we hoped. Two further colds triggered

which hospital
Hi, Alfie used to be seen at our local hospital in hastings. When we were there the problem was that they couldn't give intravenous salbutamol because it sends his heart so fast and they had no paed person who was comfortable venting a small child. They used to have to get an intensive care retreval

Saline Nebs
Hi I have had asthma my whole life (well, since 6 months old). I am 44 and it doesn't get any better, but as you get older and wiser you do learn to manage it better. I avoid the things I know I am allergic to , and the other stuff that will set it off. As expected, I also have ezcema. The current
