Ventolin plus Inhaled Meds Delivery System

Low peak flow
I have had 2 lots of steroids and I'm now on
fostair
inhaler that has stabilised things. I have a peak flow meter and am taking a reading 2x a day. When I started taking readings I was at 240, my lowest was 90 (when I needed nebulising) and I have now plateaued at 300.

Stitch/pain in side - shallow breathing
I have asthma and COPD, managed with
Fostair
and Ventolin. I had a stitch in my left side for a day or two and this morning I stretched in bed and it felt like I pulled a muscle.

Still coughing
Fostair
made me crazy. I have a few chest infections and tend to take pred/anti biotics 4-5 times a year. The consultant shrugs and says asthmatics cough. He says I’m fit.

Advised to take more medication than it's licenced for.
The consultant said to up my dose of
fostair
, even tho its not licensed for that amount, as
fostair
is helping a bit. Im wary of basically over dosing on this everyday until they come up with a plan. Dont know how long this will be. Im on
fostair
200/6, 2 puffs twice a day and 1 puff twice a day.

Has anyone changed from Seretide 250 to Fostair 100/6?
I have just had my medication for my asthma changed from Seretide to
Fostair
as the nurse was concerned that long term use of Seretide at a high dose could lead to side effects in the future like diabetes.

Severe/chronically poorly controlled asthma: what do people do with 'small' flares?
Already on max dose
Fostair
Nexthaler, Spiriva Respimat, Phyllocontin, montelukast. I have a lot of symptoms day to day but also sometimes get 'mini-attacks' - sometimes with an obvious trigger, sometimes not.

Which inhaler ?
The
fostair
100/6 inhaler is not helping, I shouldn't still have to use my reliever every time I go for a run, should I ? So I've made an appointment for tomorrow to see the nurse again to ask for another inhaler but not sure which one. any ideas ?

Fostair 100/6
Unsure would someone help me with suggestions on how to say the
fostair
is helping me more than Clencil Modulite. Advice & suggestions on how to approach it.

Newly Diagnosed late onset Asthma
I take salamol
fostair
200/6 and Spiriva inhalers everyday. I do not have an "Action Plan". I printed one out at the library and took it to my doctor so he could fill it out for me. He says I do not need one. He says dial 111 if I am unwell. Is this normal? p.s. I also have a duodenal ulcer

Feeling better, but peek flow still low
My asthma nurse suggested swapping to
fostair
100/6, but that I shouldn't need my ventolin anymore and I should go back to the GP if I still have symptoms after 5 days. I feel much better since the swap and am not experiencing any symptoms but my peek flow is still low which was worrying the nurse.
