Sun/Hayfever... advice
Just wondered, it’s beautiful in UK right now, who wouldn’t want to run in the outdoors when it’s this nice... but... how are people coping with the sun and hayfever? I get watery eyes, itchy eyes and squinting from sun hitting my eyes 👀. Advice/Tips?

Albuterol Sulfate
I have been using Albuterol for years because of seasonal allergies. But this year when my spring allergies started I started using my inhaler, and after about 2 weeks I got hives. Doctor gave me prednisone for 6 days and they went away, and now the hives are coming back. Do you think it's possible

The horse is dead! (A follow up from my last post)
So after being nebbed to death, yesterday the reg I saw asked me to stop reg nebs and try with just vent and PRN nebs. I suggested hydrocortisone therapy (again) but was told it’s the same as taking steroids etc etc (🤦♀️). Name dropped my old spec hospital where I had it done and suddenly she told

Microfibre Allergy?
I'm a lifelong asthmatic - have had issues with microfibre-filled quilts, pillows etc. I don't see how I could have an allergy to this but it sure feels like it! Trying to sleep with this is almost as bad as feather pillows, to which I have a very high allergy. These days it's hard to get quilts and

Avamys
Hi, does anyone else have Avamys nasal spray issues? My husband has so far found it by far the best for his hay fever and sinus issues, but was today told at the pharmacy that it cannot be got hold of due to manufacturing issues or something. He has tried Beconase in the past but really ran into trouble

Recently diagnosed with asthma and I need help!
I was newly diagnosed with asthma after a pregnancy. Before the diagnosis I had a battery of tests done. PFT showed significant obstructive airway disease. Stress test showed a normal heart. Holter monitor showed some tachycardia. The pulmonologist has me on Flovent and I generally don’t need my rescue

Treatment options for non-eosinophilic / non allergic asthma
Does anyone know what the treatment options would be for non-eosinophilic / non
allergic
asthma
with no inflammation. I’m at a loss with it!

Just joined the group. Asthma treatment: one size fits most?
What I fail to understand from the literature is whether
asthma
is an either/or? Is it
allergic
asthma
or eosinophilic asthma - and I know I am generalizing. And is there a specific treatment for both?

Keeping going... Slowly
After running with the hayfever kicking in badly I spoke to a nurse I know who also suffers and she gave good advice. I'm still running outside but have gone back to using the app and on the early weeks 3/4 on high pollen days, this way my chest & eyes don't do too bad. I'm actually enjoying the runs

Sleepy after some asthma drugs.
Until last summer, I'd always only had mild problems ...
allergic
asthma
now and then due to household cleaners, air fresheners, pollen, etc. Suddenly last June I started getting problems, and used Ventolin, but was told I needed a preventer inhaler too.

Hayfever and asthma attacks
So my asthma has been fairly well behaved this winter. Then pollen season strikes! I take Fexofenadine prescribed for hayfever as well as usual Flutiform and occasional Salbutamol as needed. Last day or so I have really struggled when out and about. Today have had a few bad attacks and am now left with

Asthma and new puppy
I'm 37 and have hayfever for close to 20 years. A week ago we got a puppy and almost immediately I had a strong reaction to it. I was hoping it was just a coincidence and it was just my regular hayfever. It got worse and I've ended up on steroids and been given an inhaler as my peak flow is about half

The way mine manifest is: 1) I encounter a mild allergen such as dust or pet hair on someone’s clothes 2) I get
allergic
then the
asthma
kicks in and it becomes progressively hard to take full breaths, i yawn a lot, and have chest pain 3) when the asthma doesn’t respond to a nebulizer I start a prednisone

Signing a form to agree that the chemo only palliates the disease
