Been diagnosed with asthma and was on Steride but changed to Relvar and Incruse last October. In the summer I had to go on antihistamine and singular. Was doing better but still never 100%. I use alot of ventolin all year round... just had CT scan done, waiting for the written report but GP said what I thi k they call "ground glass" about 6mm in the upper right lung and a follow up CT was suggested in 6 months time... is this anything to worry about.. was unwell in Oct and on steriods for 3 weeks, so hopefully it's just inflammation...

No idea sorry, but wow you look amazing for 47. I thought from your photo you were in your early 20's. Hope you got the problems sorted and managed. I have heard before of the term ground glass used medically, but no idea of what it means otherthan possible texture being of ground glass, but the implications of that I've absolutely no idea about. I'm interested to know if you do now know. Though maybe google has the answer. Hope you are well and doing ok.
