Bronchial Thermoplasty
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this? I’ve had four A&E visits this week with asthma attacks due to a chest infection. My consultant has tried me on various add on inhalers but they seem to do the trick short term and then long term my asthma goes back into the pattern of

Things not to say to asthmatics
Following on from the Asthma Myths post, another good pair of posts from this site. Think it's American but these are fairly universal (though personally I don't do the throat clearing thing). https://asthma.net/living/10-things-not-to-say-to-someone-living-with-asthma/ https://asthma.net/living/ten-more-things-not-to-say-to-someone-living-with-asthma

Bowel re section
I had an appointment yesterday with the specialist endo nurse who has suggested i have a vaginal scan to see if the endo on my bowel has grown more because of my increasing symptoms. She then said if it has then bowel resection is an option but will require me to hace a stoma. Has anyone had this x

Thank you for your replies to my Gemcitabine query very helpful. My next query is less worrying but very annoying since I started treatment last year I have had a definite change to my sense of smell and taste and being a real ‘foody’ I found this to be one of the more frustrating sides of this whole

Triggers in non-allergic asthma
So, I'm pretty sure I have non-allergic asthma given I can never muster enough IgE for Xolair and also kept getting negative allergy tests. Most of my triggers I would consider non-allergic - weather-related, smoke, scents and sprays, viruses etc - things which tend to act directly on the airway rather

Week Six Complete but struggling with Asthma. Anyone else?
I’ve been reading posts here and there but decided to post today after completing week six and my first 25 minute run. I feel like I’m legitimately running now and can do 10 minutes easy which is amazing. However beyond 10 minutes and my asthma kicks in and my chest hurts. I had the worst attack since

Antibiotics curing asthma
Has anyone heard of antibiotics curing asthma? I read a blog and part of a book about how a doctor helps patients with severe asthma completely cure it with antibiotics. This type of asthma is due to a virus called Chlamydia pneumoniae. I think you can test for it and was just curious if anyone’s had

What next?
Hello All! I was diagnosed with "mild persistent asthma" this past April and am still having symptoms almost every day. I have improved since April, but now generally it's just tightness/breathlessness and productive coughing that lasts for about an hour every morning. I generally have no issue sleeping

Bad Asthma for three months
I’be had asthma for the last three months that means I don’t sleep properly and have difficulty walking. I keep going back to my gp and have had 4 courses of steroids. Each time I take steroids I get better but then it returns. Taking inhalers as well. On Friday asked if I could see a respiratory doctor

Asthma.
The problem is that my Asthma seems to come on more when I get a kidney problem. I feel like I can't get to the bottom of my breath properly.

Anxiety and asthma
Can severe anxiety + physical symptoms flare up my asthma/breathing problems? I find myself short of breath while walking and even sitting most of the time. Also have a very dry cough.

Asthma or Bronchiectatis?
Hi, I'm new to the community and wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem with their diagnosis. At the age of 50 I was diagnosed with mature onset asthma which proved very difficult to control. I have tried a number of different inhalers and I'm currently on Symbicort 200/6 and Spiriva. I
