Stoma? I’d advise you to wear abdominal support garments from the get go.
Hi all, Back in June 2019 I came out of surgery with a stoma, which I was not expecting. I was very careful to listen to and take the advice about abdominal surgery; no heavy lifting or even lifting a kettle half full etc. About a month and a half ago I noticed my abdomen was sticking out more than

In focus: stomas - reversal
Hello In this last post in our series on stomas, we’ll be looking at surgery to reverse a stoma and what happens after the operation. You can ask your team whether stoma reversal could be an option for you. They can provide you with detailed information about the surgery, how long your hospital stay

Inhaled steroids may not work for half of asthma patients.
Inhaled corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment for persistent asthma for decades. A new trial suggests that for the ~50% of asthma patients with low sputum eosinophils, inhaled steroids are no better than placebo, and neither was tiotropium. Treatment with the inhaled glucocorticoid mometasone

Patient of mine; ‘your asthma only severe because you have poor self esteem’ Old housemate; ‘smoking weed will cure your asthma... it did mine!’ Has anyone else had

Trousers
Hi Dogbot here laying here in hospital at 1 o’clock in the morning with my head still getting round the fact of having a Stoma bag (this being my first week), one of the questions that has come into my mind is what sort of trousers do you where because from the bag hanging down you don’t want to cut

Speaking exacerbates my asthma
Hi everyone, I've had an asthma flare up for the last two months and I'm struggling to manage my symptoms. Recently I've noticed that speaking for more than 5 minutes in conversation starts to exacerbate my symptoms. I'm sure those around me are relieved I am speaking less though ;) Has anyone else

Cold weather/exercise advise please!
Hi everyone! I have eosinophilic asthma, not exercise induced asthma...BUT...this is my first winter exercising with asthma in the cold and with the dip in temperature I seem to have developed a cough which I think the cold air is triggering! One of those annoying coughs that comes on when you laugh
