At what point do you usually take oral steroids?
Adult onset asthma 4 years ago. Viruses, cold air, sometimes exercise, some chemicals and smoke. To be honest I’ve always been faintly like this, it just got significantly worse after my first pregnancy. No allergies though some chemicals seem to sometimes make me cough if I’m a bit inflamed. Never

Undiagnosed daughter on alot of medication, anyone similar?
So here goes, hello I am Natasha. My daughter is five years old on Sunday. She is un-diagnosed and has carried out lung function tests which have determined she is not asthmatic by consultants now at Derby and Great Ormond Street. She lives on daily, slo-phyllin, montelukas, seretide, steroids in winter

Over-the-Counter Adrenal Supplements: More Than Meets the Eye
A short paper reflecting on OTC Adrenal Supplements. I very much agree that proper labelling and, in so far as practicable, accurate description and assay, are highly desirable. [i]

What treatments or tests from here?
So I am 40 and since having my second child in September I have had 3 exacerbations (also 1 bad one in pregnancy). I was sent to ambulatory care today as I am on day 10 taking 40mg pred a day, and still acutely ill. I was on Fostair 200/6 and am now trialling Seretide 50/500 to see if it gives better

Potentially silly question about peak flow and spirometry
Sorry if this is really silly! Do people get better PF readings when it's done as part of a spirometry test or do other people's PF readings on PF meters match those on spirometry machines?

Support for the medical profession
If someone come up with an idea that was able to work with all smart devices that when they took their pump or pumps to record the usage and allowed the user to give a doctor a printout or even access to it so they can see how best to support that user. All maybe a way of doing a peak flow test also

Feeling scared
Hi everybody, I'm being self indulgent but I just want to tell somebody sympathetic! My peak flow has been dropping for 2 or 3 weeks, in the 'amber' but not the 'red' zone, I haven't been able to sleep because I'm so uncomfortable, I need my blue inhaler multiple times a day, my voice varies between

I loss my baby boy at 25 weeks due to Preeclampsia with Severe Features
I feel like the pain of losing my baby boy is driving me crazy. I feel so guilty, like I should have been more attentive of my health while I was still carrying him. Not that I was unhealthy, I was doing the best I can to eat right, avoid foods that were not good for the baby, and even do mild exercise

Chest is being a little *ahem* snitch
I have severe asthma-although-possibly-not (long story but I’m happy to divulge if anyone is interested) and although my lung function was in the normal range at my last clinic appointment, it was reduced for me. This was my first appointment at the new clinic in a different county so all that really

What should i ask my asthma nurse tomorrow?
Hi all. Sorry a slightly long post to follow. For those who haven't seen previous posts i had an asthma flare up in mid December. No cold or flu symptoms. Just shortness of breath constantly with little relief from ventolin. I've had asthma since birth but had no major flare ups since i was a child.

Anyone had their Clenil dose increased?
Hi! I currently take Clenil 100mcg 2 puffs twice a day, after being diagnosed with asthma. I came off it after hay fever season ended, and all was perfect until I came down with a cold 6/7 weeks later so was back on it and needed steroids... I now have another cold for the last week (perks of working

First consultant appointment
I am dreading this as not done peak flows regular for a while. Last time i was ill I did do them. Also I got told off by a gp I don't usually see when I was ill for not doing them either so they could see a trend. And also said had i really got asthma because there was hardly any wheeze when sat in

Peak Flow app for Android
Hi there all. Sorry if this is an old question, but I'm still pretty new to the commubity. Does anyone have good experiences with a Peak Flow app for Android phones. The measures are an important way of checking out the adverse effects of my asthma on my breathing. I'm trying out the one from Ben Hills

Pre menopause diet
I’m going through the most awful peri menopause. It’s been almost three years now. I tried HRT and it gave me near stroke like symptoms and had to stop after 4 days as I have lupus and I’m a former stroke patient from my 20s. Could you please tell me of a successful dietary plan to handle all this? I
