When do you say enough is enough?
I'm relatively new to AUK, so i hope this is in the right place. But i'm curious about when its time to put your foot down with your consultant/healthcare team? so far this year i've had four intensive care admission...(and its only May) and not an awful lot seems to have been done about it. I know

Pressure in ears
Hey guys, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if steroid inhalers can also relieve some inflammation in the sinuses/ears? I have just stepped down from Symbicort 400/12 2 puffs twice a day to 1 puff twice a day a few weeks ago. My asthma is still under control although I'm keeping an eye on it as I've

Nasonex
Hi I've been using Nasonex for a couple of years now, and my asthma has been much better in that time. However, my nose is very very dry and it often bleeds when I blow it, but I have to blow it as it feels blocked up. Today, after I coughed,I realized there was blood in my spsutum. I think it is probably

Nose bleeds
Hey I'm on nasonex for allergic rhinitus and have found over the last month or so I've been getting nose bleeds. Not bad ones, but small ones which I think must normally be higher up in my nose as normally it goes down the back of my throat a bit or I'll wake up having had one. Anyway, I got these on

Hi from a new member
Hi all, My story Im Kate, 16 years old and was diagnosed with asthma last year. In the past 2 months I’ve been in hospital twice. The first time was really scary and they couldn’t control it at my local hospital so I was transferred to a kid hospital and put in Intensive care on CPAP (non-invasive

Does this sound like true asthma??
It started in January of this year. I had a cough with lots of mucus every single day. There was no cold that preceeded it or any other illness. I was coughing so much it affected my bladder and was making me vomit. Even food was triggering my episodes. Something too hot, too dry, too crunchy (ie: popcorn
