Recently diagnosed with asthma and I need help!
I was newly diagnosed with asthma after a pregnancy. Before the diagnosis I had a battery of tests done. PFT showed significant obstructive airway disease. Stress test showed a normal heart. Holter monitor showed some tachycardia. The pulmonologist has me on Flovent and I generally don’t need my rescue

He’s doing great!
For those who have been following Matthew’s story, here’s a little update. He had his stoma reversal surgery last month and it all went swimmingly. Never did I think I’d be so thrilled at changing a dirty nappy now that things are all working normally 😊 He’s now 11.5lbs and is piling on weight since

Constant pressure to change medication
Well, have just endured another annual review, with a nurse (not an asthma nurse), pressing for me to change to another treatment, ie combined inhaler. Then took my blood pressure which was sky high (well, it would be , wouldn't it ?) One, I was given an appointment with a nurse I didn't want to see

Should I get off the steroids
Hi all. Have emphysema and asthma. Been told it's still mild only recently after spirometry. Then had a chat with the gp about inhalers as I was using ventolin several times a day. I had seen that some asthma sufferers were on seritide without it giving them the shakes as some of the other combi inhalers

Recently diagnosed. Confused and concerned.
I was diagnosed with late onset Raynaud and Scleroderma in November 2018. This was as a result of a blood test taken by my GP in June when I was unwell and she couldn’t find the cause so literally ticked every box and the results came back that I had slightly raised levels of Centromere antibody. I
