Asthma.org emails
I am sure that asthma.org do a good job representing asthma. but some of the emails they send out are a bit ridiculous. like these We're challenging you to recreate the iconic Everest Base Camp Trek by walking 130km in the month of January. Another one was about doing a marathon. I get out of breath

Flixotide 250
Hi all, I am looking for more advice! This time regarding an inhaler. I have recently been given Flixotide 250 and have been instructed to take 2 puffs morning and night. After doing a bit of research, I see this is quite a high dose inhaler. I recently had a flare up (not sure of the trigger) and was

Is Avastin actually worth the terrible side effects?
I’m on 4 of 6 first line chemo for stage 3b/4a HG OC. My doc offered me the option of starting Avastin before the last one & I did (15 months). Since then I’ve had terrible bowel probs (I had a stoma reversal before my 3rd chemo) & really awful aches in legs, bum & feet. I can’t clear bowels properly

Combisal vs Fostair
My asthma has been somewhat out of control the last couple of months. My usual prescription of Fostair 100/6 (2 puffs twice a day) and daily Montelukast has not been working well enough. I 've also been getting nightly crackles in my chest when I breathe in, although the asthma nurse doesn't think

So..... you have asthma!
I hope most of this is not new to most people (and so apologies for probably boring you senseless 😅). But there seem to be quite a number of people new to asthma (hi and welcome to HU!) who haven't been told the basics and for whom proper monitoring and care is not happening. Also I know of people who

Asthma action plans
Hi everyone Hopefully this will be a nice, short post (unlike the usual essays 😅😂😉) Action plans - everyone needs one, not everyone has one! When you’ve been diagnosed with asthma (as in the docs are pretty sure this is the issue), this should be first on the cards! It clues you in when to get help

Anyone else’s allergies starting?
Anyone else’s with tree allergies having early hay fever? This feels crazily early but I’ve definitely got allergies.... trying to figure out if it’s trees or related to heating being on all the time?

Recent warnings about vaccine safety
This is a known issue to health professionals and it will affect only a small minority of people: "vaccine-associated anaphylaxis has been a rare event". But these recent warnings are worth reading especially if you are prone to allergies. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/12/suspicions-grow-nanoparticles-pfizer-s-covid

Allergic / nocturnal asthma
Hello, hope everyone is doing ok. I have a question to people who have difficulties sleeping and getting woken up at night. I've had fairly mild / standard asthma since a child. I'm quite healthy, fine with exercise and have a good peak flow, but over the last few years since reaching my 30s, I've started
