asthma

and that he is going to refer me to an asthma specialist with a view to have xolair injections but in the meantime putting me on a maintenance dose of pred to see if it helps.

Stoma issues
I had a stoma after my second chemo due to a bowel perforation. When I had my TAH my bowel was resected as well but my stoma was not reversed at the same time as I was still having chemo and the fear of another blockage was too great. It's healed and ready for reversal but I've been too frightened

How should I know
Whenever I see my lung specialist, a nurse comes in with a questionnaire for me to fill out concerning asthma. My dx was emphysema with "some" asthma. I always tell the nurse, politely, how can I differentiate asthma symptoms from emphysema symptoms? I always fill out the form, but it seems kind of useless

Eosiniphilic asthma - do you work full time?
Just wondering how many of you have eosiniphilic asthma and are in full time employment? Does your employer make any allowances?

Bronchiectasis/Brittle Asthma
I am new to this forum and will give some background. I am a chronic brittle asthmatic with a colony of psuedomonas in my lung and I have steadily deteriorating bronchiectasis. We moved house to a different area and it has been a struggle to get a proper care plan together at my new hospital. To be fair

A sudden coughing fit that leads to temporary suffocation.
A coughing fit strikes out of the blue and empties your lungs completely. You are walking along the street and, having coughed uncontrollably for a few minutes, you find that you cannot inhale again. - The lining of your airway has stuck to itself with no air in there. You feel instantly very alarmed

steroids and digestive issues???
I was recently prescribed high dose antibiotics and steroids for 5 weeks following the appearance of a very unwelcome lung lesion on my ct scan back in June. Whatever it was has shrunk in my latest ct scan and is now barely visible so it did the trick. However since finishing the steroids I have had

Too much information?
The internet is a mine of information, and I try to stick to reputable sites when researching a medical condition, but I still am finding that perhaps I now have too much information! As an example: I have discovered that the medications (inhalers) I have been prescribed can actually cause the very symptoms

Asthma uncontrolled
Recently the use of asthma releaving inhalers has changed but my asthma hasn’t. I’m finding it increasingly difficult to obtain a repeat prescription before 30 days of the last and the stress only makes things worse. I am waiting for breathing tests, due in Dec, but until then I have to use online services

Repeat prescriptions
For over 30 years I’ve controlled my asthma using ventolin inhalers with the instructed dosage of 2x puffs 4 times daily or when required. Recently my request for a repeat prescription has been made difficult as the asthma Nurse at my doctors surgery informs me using my inhaler more than 2 times a week

Early repeat prescriptions
For the past 30 plus years I have controlled my asthma with the use of ventolin inhalers, 2 puffs 4 times a day or when required. But now I’m being told by the asthma Nurse at my surgery that using my inhaler more than twice a week is excessive and my asthma is out of control. In response I am waiting

What I wish I had asked my GP/asthma nurse (when first diagnosed 😉)
Hi everyone I’ve recently read an article about shared appts with GPs, and whilst it’s not something I would like personally, it does bring up an interesting point - very few people know what to ask when they’re first diagnosed (with asthma)! I know I never asked questions, mainly because at the time
