Hi, I have recently swapped over. I ended up at my surgery on nebs last week and a course of pred and I’m still not great, but it’s difficult to tell if it’s the swap over or if it would have happened anyway?!

I’m guessing it’s not feeling like a smooth swap over for you?

😊 Thank you..yes hard to know sometimes isn’t it! Is it the GP or a consultant who has told you to half your Uniphyllin dose? I’m wondering if I possibly need to increase my dose..will ask my doctor when I next speak to her!

Hope you soon start feeling better!

You’re welcome! This is a great forum where you can find lots of support! I’m weaning down back to my usual Fostair dose so hopefully will be fine now!

I hope your day care is good! Sounds like a supportive place to go?!

Have a good day 🌺

hi, I felt knocked out, coughy and short of breath first few days, ended up needing to use my home ventolin nebs. I'm much better now though think just took a little while for my lungs to get used to the new meds
