Thriving!
From early October to last week - what a difference eh?! Matthew is thriving now that he has his stoma and he's piling on weight. He's now 7lbs 4oz - still miles behind his chunky brother who weighs a few pounds over a stone but he's getting there. I don't wish his journey on any of your babies but if

New asthma doctor, severe persistent asthma, biologicals- blood test may not match
Hello and Happy New Year! So, I finally found a new asthma doctor and got in to see him. Sooo much better than the last asthma doc who was not listening to me, refused to help me when I was struggling (eventually making me go to urgent care to get prednisone- which cleared up the asthma flare), and wrongly

New(ish) to Asthma
Hello I'm a 52 year old woman who got diagnosed with asthma about 4 months ago. I'm slap bang in the middle of a chest infection which has really messed with the asthma. Currently on steroid tablets and antibiotics on top of my flutiform and sebutamol inhalers. Quick question....I finish tablets on

I have had
brittle
asthma
since 1 years old. I’m constantly told to lose weight but with course after course of steroids it’s impossible. I’ve very much neglected my asthma over the last 10 years, treating it with contempt because it annoys me so much.

Will it ever be easier??
My consultant has now referred me to Leicester as apparently they have a "difficult

Asthma or Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Does anyone here suffer from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? Either with or without asthma? I’m curious to know how a GP might rule out idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis when patients present with asthma symptoms .

Under active thyroid and asthma
Just wondering if anyone has heard of/experienced a link between an under active thyroid and asthma? I’ve been feeling tired, achey and cold recently and yes I did the classic Dr Google who churned out under active thyroid. Now they’re could well be another, perfectly logical explanation but it also

Colorectal surgeon
I have severe endometriosis and am under a specialist team, wondering can the bowel surgeon take charge of the whole process? He's really pushing me to have a hysterectomy saying he can't reverse my stoma without removing everything basically. I'm 32 and don't want to go through all that anytime soon

Giving cpr effectively with asthma?
CPR with asthma. I’ve searched and found lots of advice for cpr to a patient with asthma. I’m a sports coach with recently diagnosed asthma and first aid trained but not yet fully managed and my concern is that I might not be able to effectively give cpr. Is it possible to administer cpr with reduced

Cough Variant Asthma
Is cough variant asthma harder to treat or diagnose. There seems to be a lot more people diagnosed with it, which is good that it’s being recognised. I was diagnosed 13 weeks ago and am on my third change of medication, Forstair 200/6 now and my second lot of prednisone. I never wheeze, my peak flow

Asthma - temporary worsening
Hi, I wonder if I can get some advice please. In the last few weeks my asthma seems to have got a bit worse. I use Airflusal 250 and that works really well. I also use prednisone 8.5mg per day. Is it normal for Asthma to come and go?, I mean have a few weeks where it gets worse and then it gets better

Cardiac asthma and asthma
How to know if I have cardiac asthma (heart dysfunction) or normal asthma? After my researching they seem to have similar symptoms. Lately I've been experiencing shortness and hard to breath fully, sore and dry throat, cough, dry cough mostly and the cough is controllable. I sometimes feel sharp pain
