Hi - hope someone can advise me. I have been an asthmatic all my life. Worse when i was a child and hardly any problems as an adult. Have recently had an asthma attack.. At first did not realise as it has been more than 30 years since I last had one. I thought I had a chest infection/bronchtitis.

Shadows on both lungs
Hi I am new to this site and would like to ask the sites advice. In January this year my GP sent me for x ray on my chest as I was having trouble breathing and in pain when I breathed, pain was central and to the side and back of the chest. X ray result showed shadows at the bottom of both lungs.

Hi Everyone, hope you're all ok and hopefully getting some spring sunshine! I've had an appointment come through for a chest X-ray next week, had one in Feb before starting MTX and now this one after 9 weeks of taking it....I was just wondering if this is part of our monitoring whilst we're on the

Can small (but frequent) doses of codeine cause asthma to become COPD ?
Hi everyone, Over a period of many years, I've had regular bouts of severe migraine which have been relieved only by taking Paracetal and Codeine in tablet form (over the Pharmacy counter). My asthma has been slowly worsening over the past 2 years. After a recent bad spell with a severe and hard

Aseptic Meningitis
I am a 60 year old woman who was in good health until September 15, 2012 when I came in from a nice day of swimming in our pool with my 2 year old grand daughter, and I felt myself coming down with a fever and body aches. Even though it had been 106 degrees that day I covered up with a blanket. I

My Sparkle is back!
It’s been a few months of ups & downs since I posted my first blog on here. At that time I’d just been referred onto the Rheumy department & was full of uncertainty as to if I had RA or not. Sods law on the day of my 1st appointment everything had settled down & apart from a few aches I had nothing

Oh dear...
Yesterday - roll ups = 2, Gill = 0. Therefore not good at all. Off for Chest X-ray today, maybe that might knock some sense into me. I saw an article on here from one of the advisors - it was Very interesting. All about the addiction of Acetaldehyde in tobacco, this too helps keep us addicted seemingly

Peak flow ok but still bad?
Is peak flow the only indicator of asthma severity? Wife is in hospital at the moment. Apparently, peak flow is OK but she's been ill for several months now. Consultant is completely useless and says its virus or recovery from asthma attack.... Hospital already done chest x-ray and just done CT to
