Post Covid Queries!
Hi! I tested positive for Covid 2 weeks ago… it’s caused an asthma flare but luckily I got prescribed steroids for a week which, along with my Fostair and Ventolin inhalers, kept things stable enough for me to stay home. My GP signed me off for a further week after my 1st week of self certifying, however

Due to Finish Steroids but Still Covid Positive
Hi! Last Wednesday I became very unwell, eventually Thursday morning the dreaded 2 lines appeared on my LFTs! After the initial 25/48 hours the actual illness seems to have improved, my temperature has come down and stayed down no issue, and I just feel completely weak and wiped out! I spoke to GP

Bronch advice please!
Evening friends, Well Ive had an amazing run with no need for ABs for the last four years. But I guess it couldnt last for ever. After some nasty laryngospasm and inflammation which wouldn't resolve, I started a course of pred on Saturday and seemed to be responding, but it's gone south today and

Asthma and colds
When I get a cold my peak flow can fall to levels which normally my asthma plan would say to start ringing the gp about. 50 to 60 percent of my max for several days. Issues with walking etc. However I tend to feel, that I am chilled on the subject. My peak flow is low but stable. I can function, just

Chest infection confusion
Hey everyone. So this has happened twice now with similar sets of symptoms. Recent symptoms: Basically severely reduced peak flow (150 during the attacks, max is 470, about 250/280 now, so I'm well into amber still), been in and out of hospital the last few days with asthma attacks, increased work

Prednisolone advice
Hallo I've got moderate asthma and have got quite a nasty chest infection. Today a GP prescribed some antibiotics and Prednisolone. I am struggling with my peak flow at the moment. Usually can manage 350 but at the moment struggling between 250 and 300( female). Accept I probably do need steroids but

Asthma and Covid Experiences Please!
Hi, so after feeling pretty rubbish yesterday with a sore throat, spiking temp and barking sounding cough, today I have tested positive for Covid on a lateral flow after avoiding the damn thing for 3 years! I have asthma, so am understandably worrying! I am waiting for a call back from GPs as my peak

What is Normal
I am on fostair 100 under the mart regime. Most weeks I get one major asthma attack taking me down to approx 50 percent of my peak flow, cannot walk or talk, and the rest of the week more minor attacks daily. The major attacks are a little scary for me, and very scary for my wife. Under the mart regime

Chest soreness
Hi Everyone, I hope you are all doing ok out there. I've had a tickly, slightly irritated upper airway for the past week and went for a jog on Monday, just slow, and since then my chest had been quite tight and is sore. I was wondering whether anyone has any tips on how to deal both mentally and physically

benralizumab (fasedra)
I am keen to hear of experiences with benralizumab including side-effects and the length of time it’s remained effective (or whether it stopped working after a while). Also whether it has enabled people to come off oral steroids and bronchodilators. I was diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma,

Prensidone
I was hospitalised a couple of weeks ago with a severe attack taking me down to 150. They let me out with 5 days of prensidone. My peak flow is now an amazing 650, most mornings pre meds, which is better than my previous best of 622! However regular attacks take me down to 400, and any exercise like

Peak Flow doesn't always drop despite being symptomatic.
I was reading Lysteria's post about taking your details to take to A&E etc. She mentioned that her peak flow doesn't drop during an attack. I have an appointment coming up next month with the Severe Asthma Team where I feel I should mention this again. I've mentioned it in the past and my consultant

Thyroid and Supplements to help Perimenopause
Hi, I have Hypothyroidism and take Thyroxine and NDT. I have been having symptoms over the last 6-8 months similar to Thyroid which I now believe to be Perimenopause. I started on Collagen which has helped with joint pain and saw a GP last week who suggested Black Cohosh and Red Clover to see how
