Pulmonary Rehabilitation Course
I got asked to come in to see my gp asthma nurse. On the asthma nurses door she had a large poster advertising my local hospitals pulmonary rehabilitation course, and the poster suggested that I ask my local gp practice to refer me. I asked the nurse if she could refer me, she said that only a consultant

Asthma with fixed airways?
Hello! I'm new to this forum. Over the years, I've had a diagnosis of Asthma, followed a few years later by COPD, followed after that by Bronchiectasis. Last summer, I went to the surgery for my COPD review and the nurse said, 'I don't know why you're here. You don't have COPD.' I argued, of course

My middle child is asthma free which is great but they are querying asthma in my youngest, she is currently 4 (

allergies, asthma and polyps
Good morning. I’ve been on Benralizumab for two years now. It has been extremely successful in treating my atopic eosinophilic asthma, going from monthly chest infections to zero and I am extremely grateful. Like many asthma sufferers I am allergic to many things; cats, dogs, all types of pollen

benralizumab side effects
Hi all. Finally started my asthma injections and my asthma has reduced dramatically, it's been nearly 4 weeks since my first injection. I was wondering if anyone else had these side effects. Mainly some dizziness and quiet bad fatigue. Often I get really tired and lack of energy. Got my second jab this

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

1st recurrence
I had my first recurrence after 4.5 years. It was a shock as I thought I was going to be ok. Two tumours appeared in the pelvic area. The surgeon did her best and managed to remove both tumours. But I had to have a bowel resection as well. For that I had to have an ilestoma for six weeks. That was very

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
