Should I be taking this seriously?
Hi (again!) I'm not really sure what to do. I went to see my GP last Thursday, he basically said there was nothing more he could do with regards to my asthma and has referred me to a specialist, saying I'd hear from them in the next few weeks. Since then I have been coughing a ridiculous amount, to

The next step up??
Hi all, Well...I'm moaning about nothing really, and I apologise, but despite taking more Symbicort and salbutamol than I could count, and having singular at night as well, my peak flow is hovering around 350 and I'm feeling pretty rubbish. I saw my GP last Wednesday (about something totally different

Recording Peak Flow Readings
Hello all - I hope you're all doing well :) How many of you don't like to have to write your peak flow readings down and then remember where the piece of paper is? I know that I absolutely hated it and more often than not I managed to loose the annoying bit of paper or it would rip. :( So instead of

Hi everyone I've been looking at the forums for the last few weeks and they've been really helpful - it's so nice to know that I'm not on my own with problems I've encountered with drs during this latest asthma 'blip'.

New peak flow meter
Hello all, I hope you're all in good health. Recently my peak flow meter completely stopped working - not at the best time either - and since I received my new one ( yay for amazon!! ) the readings have been at least 100 below what it usually is. I've toyed with the notion that it was broken for

Ventolin and Mind Games
I'll start by saying I don't like using my reliever. Not that it causes side effects. Just because I'm not a fan of taking medicine in general. I'm the sort of person who prefers to wait out a headache rather than take aspirin. About two three weeks ago, my doctor gave me a “lecture” on why I should

Hi, I'm new and worried.
Hi everyone, I have had asthma since childhood and, it seems, now have COPD. I am using inhalers which are helpful. I did smoke but gave up a very small habit 11 years ago. I lived in a home surrounded by smoke as a child and lived in a house with a smokeless fuel fire, which made me much worse, for

Not impressed with GP...
So, I managed to get myself a GP appointment for 10 past 10, with the GP at our practice who's supposed to be the asthma expert. Firstly, I was unimpressed because he was running 45 minutes late. I know these things happen at the doctors and are sometimes unavoidable, but an apology is always nice

Newly Diagnosed - advice please
Can you give me some advice please.....? I'm 36 and have always struggled with sprays/strong odours. I can't use perfume or spray deoderant, insect repellents etc - they have always made me cough. History: I have recently been diagnosed with asthma after having a persistent cough for several months
