Good luck duck!
write down a few things you want answers to as its
quite normal to go blank when they talk and wish you had said something when get back
home.

Good luck Amy hope you get some answers x
Good luck! I agree that it'll be helpful to write down some key points about what you want to say and what you want to get out of the appointment just so you don't forget anything, there's nothing more irritating than getting home from an appointment then thinking ""I wish I'd asked about..."" when you know it's going to be weeks before you see them next.
Let us know how you get on.
when i went there i meet a really nice consultant who got me to do some breathing tests before and after use of reliever inhaler, he listened to all my worries and was not judgemental and didn't fob me off ! the tests showed that my spirometery was extremly low before use of inhaler so i have now been offically diagnosed with asthma and have now started on seritide 25/125(along with salbutamol and montelukast) instead of brown and green inhalers im hoping it works for me. im due back in 3 months, fingers crossed thanks for the good luck

So glad you got sorted.

Glad things are moving forwards, hope the new inhaler helps.
Thats great to hear! Glad you got some confirmation and things are starting to move forward. All too often we hear stories about arrogant and ignorant consultants. So its good to hear your getting somewhere xx
