Smartphone app can predict asthma deterioration by measuring night-time coughing.
Researchers have shown that night-time coughing, measured via a smartphone app, can indicate that asthma is getting worse. The study, presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress, is the first of its kind to measure patients’ coughing over a series of nights and shows that it

Cells in your airway talk to each other. For some, what they say can trigger an asthma attack.
These days, novel diseases such as COVID-19 are pushing scientists to work real hard and real fast to find treatments and cures for patients. But there are also many other types of old foes that live within us—diseases that have been part of our lives for such a long time that we can easily forget

My brothers Crohn’s
My brother is now 32, diagnosed at 17. His consultant says he is the worst case of Crohn’s they have ever treated in NI. Over the years he has had many surgeries and treatments. Last year he had Keyhole surgery and resulted in a stoma. He recovered but soon after seemed to develop an abscess type thing

Network study of nasal transcriptome profiles reveals master regulator genes of asthma.
Study of the airway in asthma by using RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)-based transcriptomics can elucidate novel molecular processes underlying the disease.We and others have found that nasal transcriptomics can provide important insights into asthma.5-10Because asthma affects and is affected by the entire airway

Asthma worse since we moved.
Since leaving London and moving back to the west country last year, I feel like my asthma has been getting worse. I used to be on Flutiform 2 puffs twice a day plus nightly montelukast. My asthma nurse recently changed me over to Fostair 100 2puffs three times a day, montelukast, and now also a steroid

Stopping dairy has helped
I know it also has something to do with Vocal Cord Dysfunction, but mainly my
brittle
asthma
. I would definitely recommend trialing off dairy for a while if you are struggling to find triggers. Anyone else found dairy a trigger? Xx

No need to worry if i can do it anyone can hand on heart
Nothing to worry about. I was 63 when i had a non reversible ileostomy and done great and now 70. Take things easy for around six weeks and do as told. don't over do things that's when problems occur. Same with regard to exercise etc. Eat little to start and build up food intake over a period of time

Recent experience with Asthma UK
Good afternoon all, This is just a short post to say how helpful a recent Asthma UK nurse appointment was that I attended. This was my first time calling them, and they offered so much support and advice. I went back to my GP and we discussed what was said, and between us have put a new plan in place

Thunderstorm warning ⛈️
Does your asthma get worse during a thunderstorm? If you notice your symptoms often flare-up, it’s probably because of one of two reasons. The air before a storm can feel very humid. Some of you tell us that this causes a tight chest and a cough, and that it can be harder to breathe. Thunderstorms smash

I have had a total hysterectomy including ovary removal can it come back?
So February this year I had a major operation to remove everything ovaries, womb the lot. Plus bowel surgery. I had a stoma until August and I have recently had an operation to reverse it back. Just the other day I noticed I had similar symptoms to when I had endometriosis. I’m very scared that it’s

Struggling with a new asthma diagnosis
Hi recently been diagnosed with asthma I got a peak flow meter today but I don’t know what I good peak flow actually is. I’ve got a blue inhaler and a pink steroid one. I’ve got a spacer. Just stressing as I don’t know much about asthma. I’m trying to not google as I think that’s the worst thing I can

Can anyone recommend asthma safe cleaning products for the bathroom?
Bleach etc gives me a full blown asthma attack, and isn't exactly good for the environment either. Have you found any products that are chemical free and clean well? Thanks.
