Asthma.org emails
I am sure that asthma.org do a good job representing asthma. but some of the emails they send out are a bit ridiculous. like these We're challenging you to recreate the iconic Everest Base Camp Trek by walking 130km in the month of January. Another one was about doing a marathon. I get out of breath

Flixotide 250
Hi all, I am looking for more advice! This time regarding an inhaler. I have recently been given Flixotide 250 and have been instructed to take 2 puffs morning and night. After doing a bit of research, I see this is quite a high dose inhaler. I recently had a flare up (not sure of the trigger) and was

Is Avastin actually worth the terrible side effects?
I’m on 4 of 6 first line chemo for stage 3b/4a HG OC. My doc offered me the option of starting Avastin before the last one & I did (15 months). Since then I’ve had terrible bowel probs (I had a stoma reversal before my 3rd chemo) & really awful aches in legs, bum & feet. I can’t clear bowels properly

Combisal vs Fostair
My asthma has been somewhat out of control the last couple of months. My usual prescription of Fostair 100/6 (2 puffs twice a day) and daily Montelukast has not been working well enough. I 've also been getting nightly crackles in my chest when I breathe in, although the asthma nurse doesn't think

So..... you have asthma!
I hope most of this is not new to most people (and so apologies for probably boring you senseless 😅). But there seem to be quite a number of people new to asthma (hi and welcome to HU!) who haven't been told the basics and for whom proper monitoring and care is not happening. Also I know of people who

Asthma action plans
Hi everyone Hopefully this will be a nice, short post (unlike the usual essays 😅😂😉) Action plans - everyone needs one, not everyone has one! When you’ve been diagnosed with asthma (as in the docs are pretty sure this is the issue), this should be first on the cards! It clues you in when to get help

Loss of smell and taste
Hi all, I was diagnosed with asthma in the summer after previously only having had hayfever and other allergies. My asthma has not been good lately so I'm using inhaler and also nasal sprays. I've noticed that I can't smell or taste anything at all these past weeks. I dont have Covid symptoms so I'm

Question about vaccine eligibility
Apologies if it's been covered already but I couldn't find anything following a search of the forum. Since the beginning of the pandemic the nhs has been pretty clear that even if your asthma doesn't require you to shield you would still be at higher risk of complications. That pretty much reflects my

Asthma and covid
So my sister (who I live with) has tested positive for Covid. I’m guessing it’s quite likely that I have it or am going to get it, but should I start increasing my inhalers as a preventative measure? How have people with asthma coped with covid? I’m not overly worried, my asthma is relatively well controlled

Unusual allergy-induced asthma symptom or unrelated (mild shakiness)?
Hi there, I had a recent flare up of my allergy-induced asthma, which cleared up after 8 weeks (and after speaking to the asthma nurse, we came to the conclusion that an allergen had triggered the flare up, I believe it might have been fungal/mold spores in the garden). A few days later I had a smaller

Asthma or bronchiectasis???
Hello all, I've had mild asthma all my life but the last few years it has become difficult to control with the regular inhalers. Bronchitis- prednison events 3 times a year. Last winter I was put on nebuliser (corticosteroids plus extra saline) treatment, and that really helps. After much delay earlier
