Bowel resection on Monday
Hi everyone, I have stage 4 recto vaginal endo and have been struggling for years. I had my first lap last December to remove a 4cm cyst from the left ovary. The surgeon found endo on my appendix and my ulterior wall. I have now been booked in for a bowel resection + removal of the endo within my gynae

Link between steroid inhaler and muscle pain?
Hello About 4 months ago my husband was diagnosed with late onset asthma and has been using a brown preventative inhaler twice daily with a spacer - his asthma symptoms have improved markedly. However since regular use of this inhaler he has developed muscle aches and pains which are gradually getting

It’s been a loooong night 😴😴
My rapid response para apparently is the para trainer for my area and was spot on with his severe/

knowledge (including recognising that one tupe reversed by didn’t maintain... think the first emergency medic I’ve had who knew this 😱😱).

Info re high heart rate during an attack
Hi everyone I know I rant about this topic often but it really does make me mad when I am told by medics that a fast heart rate isn't a feature of an asthma attack. I'm sure all of us in the community know that it is and sadly have experienced it (all my attacks have started with a high heart rate).

Asthma and Migraine Treatment
Prior to my recent asthma deterioration my GP prescribed Naproxen for my migraines. I explained that I’ve never had any problems with Ibuprofen so I was happy with that. Now after this recent nasty flare I am reluctant to take it as I don’t know if it will trigger an attack. For those of you out there

Flouride/asthma/reflux?
Anybody know if there is any connection between flouridation of the water supply and increase in acid reflux and asthma symptoms? My symptoms increased after moving to another area from one where my water supply was flouride free.

Asthma UK nurses- brilliant job.
After feeling down and frustrated with my asthma, I called the Asthma UK helpline as I know they’ve been brilliant in the past and they were again. The nurse took time to go through everything with me and explore different options and medications that might help. Honestly this service is great each

Has anyone else got asthma, bronchiectasis and bilateral pulmonary embolisms? What's being done about it? How do you manage?

GP visit update
Apparently, the doctor who looked after me in AEC on Saturday has diagnosed me with severe
brittle
asthma
? At least that is what he has put on the discharge report to the GP. So, I guess it's good that I know what type of asthma I have and why it is being so unstable at the minute.

Questions about severe asthma
I decided to write this post because I still don't really understand how the diagnosis of severe or
brittle
asthma
is made.

This may sound daft. But can you take lemsip when you’ve got asthma.

Allergic diseases increase the risk of adult-onset asthma.
A Finnish study found that the more allergic diseases an individual has, the higher the asthma risk. The number of allergic diseases increases the risk of adult-onset asthma especially in individuals born after 1940, according to a study published in the Allergy journal. Approximately one in ten Finns

Stoma
Hi there everyone. I’m having my op tomorrow for my first recurrence of OC. There is a possibility of me having a stoma, hopefully temporary. Have any of you had this? What can I expect? I’m so scared but trying to be ultra positive to family and friends.

Constipation and antidepressants
Hi, Can anyone tell me of any anti depressants which do not have constipation as a side effect. I have been constipated since birth. Many medical reasons, and I take strong medication every day to make my bowels work. I’m in a bad place mentally at the moment for lots of external reasons, but the antidepressants
