Sore Nose
I use O2 24/7 and my nose gets really dry and sore. I have tried several creams and found nothing helps. I get a slight relief from using Boots saline nasal spray but the relief isn't long lasting. My nose seems permanently blocked with dried blood and mucous. If you have any suggestions I'd be truly

Freeman
Well outcome of my visit to the Freeman Hospital, he has basically said a transplant is not for me 1) both lungs stuck to my chest wall due to previous operations. 2) Fungal ball/infection in one of my lungs. He will ask the surgeons if there is anything they can do but he also said don't hold your breath

my husband has continual breathing difficulties. Has anyone any advice on what treatments help, especially with the agitation and distress.
We already use Carbocystene, Salbutamol and saline nebules in the nebuliser and Oxazipine tablets when the distress gets really bad.

Sjogrens-just how dry can your mouth get?
I take nothing for the Sjogrens at present, do have
artificial
saliva
but could get through a bottle in a couple of days quite easily. As it is I try to carry water and have some citrus sweets on me.

How my story started
How my story started, but would like to say, I am now back on my feet, but wanted my story to go out, it is not always the illness that hurts but people can make it worse. My mother called an ambulance out at approx 6.30 am Monday 25th April 2011, after my illness escalated over four days

My experience of anti-tnf
Anti-TNF experience I’ve been on one anti-tnf for the past ten years. Its infliximab, but there are other more recent ones, but I think the procedure is more or less the same for each one. I also take 20mg methoxitrate weekly. And I should say that I’m not medically qualified in any way, this blog

DIFFERING OPINIONS HAVE LEFT ME CONFUSED.
hello. My 15 month old son has had three hospital admissions since 3 months old. He was born at 32 weeks and was a bruiser!! After a month in scbu we went home and started family life. At 3 months he had bronchiolitis and was admitted for a week, a one off virus we hoped. Two further colds triggered

which hospital
Hi, Alfie used to be seen at our local hospital in hastings. When we were there the problem was that they couldn't give intravenous salbutamol because it sends his heart so fast and they had no paed person who was comfortable venting a small child. They used to have to get an intensive care retreval

Saline Nebs
Hi I have had asthma my whole life (well, since 6 months old). I am 44 and it doesn't get any better, but as you get older and wiser you do learn to manage it better. I avoid the things I know I am allergic to , and the other stuff that will set it off. As expected, I also have ezcema. The current

Saline Nebs
Could someone tell me what saline nebs are supposed to do please? During my recent admission they used them regularly (as well as salbutamol and atrovent nebs) but haven't continued them or anything similar - I just wondered what their purpose was as it was never explained?
