Soph's POSITIVE cons apt :-)
Heya all, As some of you will probably know, Soph is having a pretty rough time with uncontrolled asthma and far too frequent serious hospital admissions. She also has had a lot of bad luck with consultant appointments, and like (I suspect) a lot of us, struggles to articulate how things really are

Should I stay or should I go now
I have been struggling all last week with my asthma and hay fever obviously the current very high and high pollen count and hot weather are not helping me. Unfortunately, things are getting worse for me, yesterday I used a total 26 puffs Bricanyl reliever for the day, and a total of 10 nebs for the day

Not again - Prednisolone increased
I have been suffering terribly this week with asthma and hay fever and have been using up to 28 puffs Bricanyl inhaler (reliever) a day and up to 10 nebs using Atrovent and Bricanyl nebules a day. My Prednisolone has been increased on Saturday to 40mg, bang goes my Prednisolone reduction for a while,

Muscle weakness
Does anyone else suffer muscle weakness, especially in the biceps, forearms and to a lesser extent in the thighs and legs? I have attributed this to my meds as both Atrovent and Symbicort nominate such side effects as affecting some 10% of users. Also I do have pain in my thumbs, which I think other

By the way!
I have just started taking a regular dose of Atrovent HFA (along with my Symbicort) firth thing in the morning and I find that this really helps in reducing by breathlessness in the shower and sets me up for the rest of the day. I also take Spiriva after breakfast. I also take Atrovent and Symbicort

Atrovent?
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on here as lucky for me have been going through a good spell the last few months. I've been unwell the last week with lungs being a bit grumpy so I'm bound to the couch. I did have lung function tests last week and was given Atrovent to try. I have

To nebulise or not to nebulise, that is the question?
There appears to be a fair amount of conjecture amongst the COPD medical fraternity as to the merits or otherwise of nebulising. They accept that there are occasions when, in the case of asthmatics when nebulising medication is beneficial, especially when the sufferer is gasping for breath and unable

General help please!
I was diagnosed with asthma 15 years ago after a bad bout of flu that turned to bronchitis. I am 66 yrs old now. I was a smoker in those days.(not now!!) My GP at the time felt I had always had asthma to varying degrees. My worry is that since that bronchitis I have asthma symptoms every day. Chest tightness

Did your health deteriarate all at once?
I was diagnosed with COPD about 5 years ago. I've been on the usual various medications over the years but managed to keep working doing medium/heavy manual work including snow shifting on the shovel until last winter when I really struggled. My health and ability to do strenuous work seemed to deteriorate
