Scar tissue and adhesions????
I have problems at the moment with my stoma which is continually backing up and blocking causing me digestive issues. I have seen the colorectal consultant and am due to have a colonoscopy in 10 days. My stomach is bloated and I feel nauseous a lot of the time. I have had a gastographin test and it

Asthma not settling after attack...
I've only ever had one asthma attack before my latest string of attacks and I bounced back quickly from that one. I just don't understand. One minute my asthma is under control and the next I'm in A&E on oxygen. I'm in my third week now (had other minor attacks since) and on my preventer (Fostair) 6

Things have turned a corner!
I'm very pleased to say that after a month in hospital which included Christmas Day, Matthew was discharged on the 28th December. He still has his stoma which we are managing at home and he weighs an almighty 5lbs 7oz which is huge for him! He just made it out of the teeny tiny clothes! He should have

Embarrassed to be so eager to be diagnosed with asthma
I don’t think other people can understand how unsettling it is to not have a definitive diagnosis and plan of care. When you break your ankle, you have an X-ray, get a cast, use crutches, heal in a set number of weeks and everyone knows and it is easy to explain. As I’ve been bounced around to doctors

Experts!
Why is it when you have asthma, suddenly everyone around you becomes an expert in YOUR asthma?! Safe to say I’m feeling frustrated and down after ending up in A&E again yesterday, third attack in two weeks! No chest infection, chest sounded clear after the meds, no logical explanation other than all

Asthma
Hi all. I was diagnosed with asthma as a child and was a lot worse than it is now. I don't really get any symptoms unless i'm doing something active, when i come down with an illness or when the air gets cold. Can asthma go away or can you only control it?

Can an asthma nurse tell if I have asthma when I have emphysema
Hi all. Like many people with copd I have been treated with inhalers for asthma for the last 3years. Only recently was it found that I have some emphysema after a ct scan for a heart operation. Nobody even mentioned it. I found it in my medical notes a year later. My question is can an asthma nurse tell

Winter rhinitis and non-allergic asthma?
I have non-allergic, very difficult asthma but also, somehow, hayfever. Apparently this is possible (ie atopy but non-allergic asthma), if weird! I take fexofenadine 180mg and Avamys nasal spray for it and usually don't need it in the winter. However, this winter I found I still need both - I stopped

Can Post Nasal Drip Trigger Asthma?
Hi, I recently was diagnosed with what initially presented as seasonal asthma over the summer, which settled but then came back after a cold, which lingered for the best part of 3 weeks and I needed steroids to get my asthma stable again... I am also taking Avamys nasal spray as I also suffer from Eustachian

It’s the most wonderful time of the year; unless you’re asthmatic!
Sorry to keep posting on here but I’m feeling really down and fed up with my asthma and on here you just get it! I’m just not ‘bouncing back’ this time and it’s really bothering me as I just feel tired, achy and weak. This time of year is also rubbish for asthmatics; cold, damp weather, central heating

Asthma confession
Ok so I feel like an awful person even though I know full well that your first thought is not what counts, your second is.. But I can’t help but get frustrated at my best friend. They have moderate asthma and I love them to pieces and know that their mental health is in a really bad place but they smoke

Best asthma memory?
There’s always going to be a lot of negativity on forums like this and that’s totally fine because this is not a positive condition. We often hear about people’s terrible experiences with meds, doctors that don’t understand, etc. etc. But what’s everyone’s most positive asthma memory? For me, it’s Christmas

Continuous bad attacks
Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice/reassurance as I’ve got to the point where I’m just so fed up of my asthma. My attacks seem to have taken on a new pattern; years ago I’d be bad about every six months, then the pattern started to be about every month/couple of months (my hormones trigger

Asthma and Air Quality in Bangkok
I have chronic asthma (currently under control) and am wondering about the air quality in Bangkok. I see previous threads in 2010 but I'm wondering what it's like now in 2018. I currently live in Dallas, Texas and and we experience really hot days here.

I have emphysema but was treated for asthma. How can they tell if I have both or just emphysema.
Hi all. Basically I have been shown to have emphysema after a ct scan for a heart op. I already have a steroid inhaler and rescue inhaler given to me by my gp surgery for the last 3 years or so. What I want to know is can an asthma nurse be sure I have any asthma? I believe the reversibility test also

Asthma Triggers Cold
Why do people dismiss asthma triggers. Today I've had a very sore chest as was foggy very cold and damp. When mentioned this I got told it's stress. It must not be step 4 asthma obviously....😂
