I see Ipratropium is the generic name for Atrovent??? Rings a bell???mixed with the Budesonide I can tell you it was quite a cocktail 🍸Hope my throat holds I had a good rinse and a spoonful of honey to help the medicine go down 🎶

Hi there, gosh that sounds like quite a cocktail! Poor you;0() That mix would make anyone feel fed up... And I think the constant rain doesn't help anyone see some light amoungst the gloom;0() Sometimes it's good to have a little treat just for yourself. The people on here are great but even better if you have someone nearby who understands? Sounds like you deserve some tlc;0)

Did you get my post this morning? It may not have sent... I think I had signal dropout;0). Hospital was fine, but they did insist on the subutamol nebuliser which I told them I would react to;0() was very woozy and got the shakes quite bad. A least they know not to give it to me again. My PF was good, but after the subutamol I couldn't remember all those questions I had meant to ask! Don't forget the dairy free dark chocolate biscuits too;0)

Hi Gino no I didn't no worries, good to know you're ok😊 I didn't know the salbutamol could have that much effect, it's a good sign really because it does nothing for me I'm so chesty..they made me take 4 puffs before the reading..

Yes I have family and friends but you know how you don't want to burden people close to you..for a start they look at you like death warmed up and I hate that. So I just get on and have a good moan here 😃

Thanks for your support I dream

of chocolate but I think I'll have hot soup🙃 live yoghurt and to bed with a good series!!

Talk to you soon :))

[Gino39]

Hi. I realise from this site how lucky I am in that normally my asthma isn't a great problem nowadays. I was much worse as a child. I am quite sensitive to things and have had a lifetime of being aware of how my body reacts. I couldn't take Ventolin as it turned me into an edgy so and so;0) So I knew the sabutomol would be an issue. The docs haven't got to the bottom of why I've had these recent months of terrible coughing, and they don't seem to believe it's 'just' the dairy trigger. I also have bronchiectasis, but again three of the four shadows seem to be healing themselves! This apparently does not happen! Confused, I am.....

Enjoy the soup. I can't take live yoghurt but I seem to be able to tolerate a little very dark (85%) bitter chocolate;0)

Ciao...

Ahhh Gino yes I understand bronchiectasis is linked to bad persistent coughing..we have those complications after years of asthma and sticky mucus..I'm going that way you know..acupuncture helps there are free clinics at the British acupuncture society or nearly free..it's a teaching hospital. I found one link for you nightingale-collaboration.o...

May be you have the equivalent in Manchester..I had 3 sessions but Dad fell ill and I had to go..it helped to reduce inflammation I thought so anyway.

Watching a French series about political corruption.. Entertaining and mind boggling!!

I'm dropping off..nighty night..
