Hello Tracey1972,

I am so fortunate, I am down to 160 micrograms per day - 1 inhalation of Symbicort 100/6 morning and evening BUT I have had to introduce an Oxis inhaler to get enough formoterol, just 1 inhalation in the morning. Keep going, Pete

Sorry your not doing so well. I got down to 25 this morning to be seen by my asthma nurse and told to put them back to 40 as peak flows down to less than 50% and had lots of salbutamol. X

I don't know what to say, other than get yourself to hospital sooner, as you know what the weekend can be like. I have spent today at Addenbrookes seeing the Immunotherapy and Respiratory joint clinic, and learning how to inject myself with haemoglobulin antibodies. I injected myself 3 times and now have three more lumps on my stomach to go with the rest of the fatty Lumps there. The training went well, and the extra lumps will go down in the next 24 hours. My Asthma is more under control, down to 25mg Prednisolone. Long may it last.

I thought you were already trying that last week? Please look after yourself and don't leave it too late, you don't want more permanent damage to your lungs. Thinking of you.

Hi Tracey1972,

How are you feeling? I experienced a very bad situation like you before now.But for the past two weeks now that l abstain from foods containing salicylate acid and got my preventer reviewed to sere tide, God has made my asthma to improve to a point that l have not had a single attack for two weeks after l was discharged from hospital.No use of nebuliser.Because l used to use nebuliser more than 3or4times daily.

Therefore, l suggest that you read on Internet about foods containing the acid and avoid them.Your asthma can greatly improve.Breatheeze wrote about it to me and l think every asthmatic should consider it worthwhile to read and apply to their asthma especially if using good medication and asthma is worsening.

Nevertheless, see your doctor ASAP.

l pray to God to heal you.
