inflammation in eyes
I have an inflammatory eye condition either episcleritis or anterior uveitis. I’ve been on steroid drops for this which have given me cataract. On top of this inhave 2 stoma bags for a perforated bowel ( which triggered the eye inflammation). It’s been a horrendous time and I’ve become very down.

My story
Hi, it all started by going into hospital for day surgery for Hemorrhoids. Within 36 hours my wife had taken me back to A & E with a high heart rate and low blood pressure. I was also in a lot of pain, which I put down to the surgery for Hemorrhoids. I was soon in majors and within a few hours I was

Covid and Asthma
I am on day 7 of covid. It lowers my peak flow by 30 percent or so and makes me routinely breathless. The thing that gets me is that any asthma triggers then take my breathing very quickly into dangerous territory. So I am a bit confined to no activity, very irritating.

Forstair runs out before I can get the next prescription. The next installment
I’m being prescribed a forstair every 30 days. I’ve spoken to the pharmacist at the practice and she says: There are 120 doses in an inhaler, 120/4 =30, therefore a new inhaler every 30 days is sufficient. Plus, inhalers have 10% leeway so it’s fine. I’m saying: . it takes 3 to 4 actuations to prime

Stoma patient, mucus from anus
I’m seeing mucus from my anus, just this past week. I’ve had a bowel tumour that perforated in April 2023. I’m due my scan on 4th October. I have a stoma and no chemo ? I also have a hernia behind the stoma , awful pain from constant irritation on the skin surrounding the stoma? Some backache too?

Asthma remission for 6 months
I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, 8-9 years of age. My asthma symptoms come and go, but I’ve went 6 months without any major symptoms. I wake up coughing every morning, shortness of breath and sometimes I throw up due to coughing so much but I put this all down to smoking. I’ve stopped smoking

Dust as an asthma trigger.
I find that my asthma at present is very much triggered by an ever increasing sensitivity to dust. My preferred holiday destination at present is a youth hostel as there are no soft furnishings or carpets.

Do you have asthma or a lung condition? Have you changed to a lower-carbon inhaler and found it works well for you?
As part of a piece of funded work Asthma + Lung UK are doing with NHSE on lower-carbon inhalers, we’re creating a short storyteller video, featuring someone who has had a positive experience of changing to a dry powder or soft mist inhaler. If you’re not sure what inhaler you have, you can find out here

How do you know?
I really want a medical professional to explain to me how they know I have asthma.I was diagnosed at 2 years old, after I suddenly stopped breathing after a cold. I know I was tested (negative, fortunately) for other things such as Cystic Fibrosis and there's a part of me which wonders whether the doctors
