Hiya. I am currently in the menopause with early onset osteoporosis, and have autoimmune related hypothyroidism. I am looking into various ways to manage this, conventional HRT being the least desirable. I much prefer natural ways to manage my health wherever possible, and I've found various herbal supplements

Hi everyone, I hope that you are all well. I have an update on my journey and just wanted some advice as I am still very new to this. My journey started a few months ago. I've tried to condense everything below. Just to state I have had various blood tests and they are all optimal (cholestral, Vitamin

I want everyone to have the choice of trying anything they like - so long as they are fully informed and all information is readily accessible. Trouble is, a lot of information is hard to access for many reasons including language, paywalls, time, and having the required time and skills to get to the

Hi, new member here, 60yo. Cholesterol 5.1 overall, CT scan showed potential CAD - echo and possible angioplast to be done in due course. I've been told in no uncertain terms I have to take statins. I'm not overly enamoured about that as there seems to be so many varying studies; some say they'll give

You might or might not know that I have been accumulating information about thyroid issues in my blog - I have created a significant number of pages now. Many will be aware of some of the specific pages which I link to quite regularly. But you might not have realised what else is there. Below is a copy

I have had mild and well controlled asthma since age 5. In October 2022 I had an adverse reaction to a Covid vaccine, in and out of hospital with breathing difficulties, severe worsening of asthma and constant airway inflammation for around 9 months, my life was turned upside down. After around 1 year

I have to confess to being a bit of a nerd. I was kept twice daily records of my peak flow religiously for a couple of years. I would recommend this, even for non nerds. But I recently had to get a new meter. The previous one was stuck full of unwanted gunk. Lo and behold my peak flow jumped by two

So I'm pretty new to going to the Dr before my flare is severe so excuse mey naivety 😂 but i took my 2nd dose of steroids for this flare today and I'm already beginning to feel kind of better??? Usually I don't really see any improvement until the end of the course. I'm still not GOOD but. It's definitely

Hi everyone! Ok so I've got a new asthma nurse and at my review she told me it's important I tell them when my asthma gets bad for a few weeks cause that's how they track it. And it looks like my asthma is really stable cause I only really mention it to the drs at my annual reviews and if I need antibiotics

Recently hospitalised with severe asthma, in for 8 days. Was close to being put on a ventilator. Been out since start of June 2024, on new regime of inhaler. On symbicort 200, 2 x puffs twice daily. Then increased to 4 x puffs daily, then 3 weeks ago 8 to 10 puffs per day. I also have been taking montelucast

hi I’ve been prescribed a Symbicort inhaler for low peak flow. Is it ok to take with all my meds for heart failure and AF. I’ve tried a dose and I got some palpitations a splitting headache and some chest pain. This could be due to anxiety but I’ve stopped the inhaler whilst I get more advise.

Hi everyone I am currently under the severe asthma service at Wythenshawe in Manchester. I transferred there in 2020 when the previous service I was under diagnosed me with severe asthma based on eospinohils washings amongst other things, but apart from giving me steroids did little else and I ended

I've seen lots of examples of 'peak flow diaries' or charts etc on line, and I've started one of my own, in an Excel spreadsheet. One thing I noticed was that all the example ones that use a morning and evening reading each day have a lower AM reading and a higher PM reading. Mine are very noticeably

I have become very breathless (sturgging to get up the stairs, after a bit of light digging with a trowel etc). My peak flow and oxygen levels are OK so whats going on?

Hello. I’m new here and keen to find out if other people with asthma have experienced the symptoms I have. I have had a persistent cough for about 4 months. Generally I feel a pressure in my chest and lower throat where it feels like a can’t breath. I then cough as this feels like it relieves the pressure

Recently was prescribed steroids for 7 days about 2 weeks ago. Last few days my chest just feels off like heavy and as if I’m hungry for air like wanting to gulp. Before the steroids peak flow had dropped to 60% of best and since finishing them it is 80% but a fews days yo-yoing to 70% of best. Wondering
