Budesonide & nebuliser
Hi I've been using my little omron microair to nebulise my pulmicort as I'd been advised so long as I added saline to it it would be OK. The NWLC are now querying if it is actually up to the job, the thinking being my asthma is out of control because I'm not getting the right dose. Does anyone else use

Asthma but no wheeze
Hi I had a bit of a scary experience yesteday with my asthma (I'm alright now) and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. I had an attack in chemistry at school which ended up with the ambulance being called and me ending up in A&E. I wasn't given salbutamol nebs as I'd already had well over 10

Saline nebs
Anyone else using them ? Hossie asthma nurse recommended them to help shift mucus plugs and gunk ! Least the ones gps has given me are only 2.5ml not those massive 5ml things the hossie give me ! Also is it best to do saline on its own or can you mix it with bricanyl and atrovent, as when in hossie

home neb machine
Hi, I have a friend with a 9 year old with asthma due to XLP damage to his chest and they need to buy a home neb machine for him for when his chest is really bad. Recently he had to go into hospital overnight for saline neb which helped but his parents have never been offered advice re buying a machine

Diluting Bricanyl
I am on s/c and usually use Sodium Chloride to dilute, when I got my repeat the pharmacy gave me water for injection but its labelled sodium! Is it ok to use the water or does it have to be Saline?

Update
After 5 hospital admissions in 4 weeks and being on 60mg of prednislone there has been no real improvment. My last admission the team swapped me over of symocort and gave me saline nebs to try. At the same time my poor GP managed to get hold of my consultants team in Birmingham to get there advice!

out of control hayfever
At the moment i am having major problems with the pollen ,and cant seem to control my symptoms despite being on a range of meds. I currently use desloratidine, piriton, opticrom and saline nose spray specifically for hayfever, but despite these meds as well as my usual asthma meds things are not controlled

Missing work...
Hi! I'm a newbie, and so grateful having found this website last week! Essentially, I'm a teacher with asthma that is usually very well controlled. However, two weeks ago I had a huge flare up that had me hospitalised for 3 days. It was the worst I've ever had - crashed in the ambulance and ended up

HDU - Little bit of advice?
I think I've possibly had the wake up call which I've needed. Ended up getting ambulance out last night because of chest tightness/feeling wheezy/really unwell, I got told that my chest wasn't too wheezy, but my oxygen levels were all over, they were going from 95%, - 86% - 98% - 85% within 30 seconds

Nebuliser nightmare
Hi, Hope this finds everyone well! I'm on the scrounge for some advice. I'm under the North west lung centre for asthma & bronchiectasis and am on daily nebbed hypertonic saline. I bought an Omron microair 3 months ago and have used it once a day since for the HS. It's been getting progressively slower

What are the treatment options for Sjögren's syndrome?
•
Artificial
saliva
: this can be used to keep the mouth moist and comes in the form of a spray, gel, liquid, lozenge or pastille. •Saliva stimulants: in some people with Sjögren's syndrome, the saliva glands are only partially affected and can be stimulated to make more saliva.
