I'm back!!

Sorry I have been away from the board for a while after only just joining!!

We moved house and had no internet connection, then given a dongle which was just tooooo slow to post with and now I'm back with broad band-phew!!

Trying to catch up with how everyone is doing and hope everyone is doing well, as well as you can be, getting well asap etc

Had a mixed few weeks-some bad brittle attacks and pred up and down like a horse on a carousel!!

Had a good appt with consultant 2 weeks ago. He is just so fab and listens to what I say and vice versa and after deciding that I still need more control and unfortunately the only way to do that at the mo is to add in more medication I have been put on Azithromycin 3 days a week.

I *think* I feel a little better on it and seem to have less symptoms (although I know trials on average asthmatics have not given good results for its use on asthmatics in the difficult/brittle asthmatics it has had some good results) The only down side is that evryday I take it I feel soooo sick and my gastro symptoms flare up (have IBS and wheat/yeast intolerance) SO not sure what to think/do next?

Has anybody been on Azithromycin?

Thanks x

Hello, I've been on Azithromycin a long time and didn't notice any bad effects when I started it - but then we all respond differently where side effects are concerned. Hopefully GI effects will wear off in a while

Could you get some domperidone from the chemist, to take before the Azithromycin? Should help with the nausea.

Thanks for the reply Lynda

Well my last two doses have gone down a treat with no yukky side effects so hopefully you were right and I just had to get used to them.

Did you find they helped you?

Thanks again x
