Update about sister

[twiddles2]

Hi my sister is still not well. Been to gp's again. Been given more steroids. Told chest is clear and her oxygen is 90. Also told her they cannot do anything else for her. Doesn't know what to do now.

Is your sister under the care of a Respiratory team at a hospital.

[twiddles2 in reply to Asthma-girl]

[Asthma-girl]

Can your sister's hospital Respiratory team advise her.

[twiddles2]

she's waiting for them to get back to her

That's good I hope they are able to help

Sorry it's difficult for us to help if we don't have a complete list of what medications she is on, some idea of what she tried in past, and how often she needs her Ventolin. Also what are her triggers.

Respiratory team is a good idea, but something to be aware of in my personal experience doctors are not always so aware that different people have a wide range of response to the common asthma medications. Read through these boards over and over you hear "I tried so many different things over the years then one day I switched to X and it was magic". Same deal with me.

Just something you should know.

If your sisters chest is clear and oxygen is good what exactly is wrong with her ?

[green881 in reply to Griffon]

Must be something serious they're giving her more steroids. He's posted a number of times I hope they can get some (competent) help.

[Griffon in reply to green881]

But if she is under the care of a respiratory team why come here with no details ?
