feeling sorry for myself ;-(
Currently in bed feeling sorry for myself, any recommendations to while away the hours rather than just watching TV? I've managed to get some wierd virus that's not quite a cold or sinus infection but my head is stuffy and I feel like I can't function. I was awake most of the night as my asthma has

It Went From Bad To Worse...
I'll gloss over much of what happened during the following eighteen months... Joe had cattle in the fields behind the cottage...he'd come to check on them at two in the morning...park right outside our front door with the car radio blaring and then walk straight across our vegetable garden... Luke had

GP Questioning Diagnosis
Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with Asthma, I am 36 so this is adult onset.

Is it really asthma?
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with asthma following a bout of whooping cough as a baby. In and out of hospital a lot as a child. Grew out of it at the age of 11, but it came back following a bereavement when I was in my 30's. I'm 62 now, and on Symbicort (which gives me horrendous leg and foot cramps

Struggling
Hi, on Friday I started to feel poorly, my peak flow is usually around 300/320, but it had dropped to 250, I managed to get an appointment with my GP for early Saturday morning. At the Doctors my peak flow was down to 200, he prescribed a 7 day course of clarithromycin and 7 days of steroids. Normally
