Type 2 diabetes medication shown to benefit asthma patients.
Type 2 diabetes patients who also have asthma are benefitting from a diabetes medication, typically given to help the pancreas produce more insulin, that also improves asthma symptoms and may reduce lung and airway inflammation. These types of medication — GLP-1 receptor agonists — are a newer class

International study suggests alternative treatment for mild asthma
A large international study led by a McMaster researcher has found a patient-centric treatment that works for people with mild asthma. People with mild asthma are often prescribed a daily treatment regimen, but up to 80 per cent do not follow the routine, using inhalers only when they have an asthma

Both of us!
I had an emergency surgery in January and landed up with a stoma bag. Now my husband has been diagnosed with colonic cancer and will have an operation on 17 August. He has been advised that he might have a stoma bag afterwards. I have managed to get used to mine, but I find the thought of him having

Long Term Azithromycin
I’d really like to try and persist with the lower dose because I’m already on a lot of medications for severe/
brittle
asthma
and I’m only 21, but I don’t know if I should speak to my consultant or GP regarding going back up to the higher dose. Had anyone had a similar experience?

An asthma vaccine effective in mice
Asthma is a chronic disease affecting around 4 million people in France and 340 million worldwide. Allergic asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes and respiratory discomfort caused by the inhalation of allergens, most often dust mites. This exposure to dust mites and other allergens

Montelukast Timing
I'm taking Montelukast for asthma which seems to be working well.....although a few occasions I have got very wheezy/SOB in the evening....I don't take the montelukast until as late as possible (around 11pm) as it says you need to take it in the evening.....if you take this tablet for asthma, what time

Help! Asthma getting out of control?!?!
Hi everyone! I have eosinophilic asthma and was discharged by my consultant last year and to go back to him if things get out of control again. Here’s my dilemma...’out of control’ to my consultant means a low peak flow and the need to use steroids. But I have been coughing for the last two months...

Monteleukast and uncontrolled asthma
I am a 22 year old young adult. My asthma has deteriorated since last month, so my doctor advised I used monteleukast. For those with severe asthma, did it ever improve your symptoms. Because I now use my reliever inhaler up to 5 times a day and this scares me a lot

Another update
All going on here I can tell you! So as you all know I had the emergency loop colostomy about 6 weeks ago. All was going well. Friday 2nd July had some low level stomach pain around 5pm and then the stoma prolapsed about 4 inches. Long story short, emergency op at local hospital for a refashioned stoma

Vegan diet with ileostomy for low methionine
Hi , Does anyone manage a vegan diet successfully with an ileostomy? I had chemo then radical debulking last October then chemo till January.

What is your experience with child asthma diagnosis?
I am researching for the asthma UK child diagnosis web pages. I'd like to know what your experiences have been with getting your child diagnosed. It would be great to know what the process was like for you and what tips you might give other parents going through that process... Thanks!

Flare-ups, niggles, etc!
Just re-sharing EmmaF91 's brilliant post for "what to do and when" as I've noticed various posts in the last couple of weeks with people having issues (or possible issues). At this time of year, issues are highly likely with it being spring (and not having pollen or weather changes as a known trigger

Better ways to diagnose asthma.....
An interesting read... Could a blood test one day diagnose if someone has asthma? That’s what researchers at the University of Southampton are trying to find out. The team is studying whether substances in blood could show if someone is more likely to develop asthma and also what type of asthma. The

Nightime Breathlessness
Hi I regularly waken during the night distressed, gasping for air, feeling like I can't breathe. Could this be related to my asthma? Or just night mares? Not pleasant either way! Has anyone else had this with asthma? Thanks x
