allergies to IV hydrocortisone anyone?
Just wondering if anyone else has allergies to IV hydrocortisone? It's been suggested that I may be allergic to it, as I always seem to deteriorate very rapidly once in hospital. Have now been told to avoid it, and have either methylpred or dex instead. Any thoughts?

Post Hospital Discharge
Hi all, My asthma has been shockingly uncontrollable for about 4/5 months now, culminating in being admitted to hospital for 2 weeks after catching the flu. I've always had asthma, with the occasional blip here and there, but by and large it has always been well controlled and has always responded well

Asthma, Panic Attacks & Adrenal Insufficiency
Ok, I have a confusing one here and don't know what to make of it! My son has severe asthma and is on all sorts of meds including long term Pred. I have been advised that during bouts of increased stress/illness he should take additional Hydrocortisone. Recently he has had a few asthma attacks that

First time at A&E - was scary (sorry, bit long)
Had an attack on way to work today - fortunately hubby was driving - and quickly realised wasn't getting better with Ventolin, so asked him to turn round and take me to hospital. Had to battle with the traffic back into town. By the time I got there I was nearly passing out, hyperventilating too and

Venting for a moment...(warning this is long)
I feel so bad whinging here, as I know many of the members here have much much more severe asthma than what I've got. I caught a cold a week ago, started with a sore throught on Monday, Tues the runny nose, no fever just slightly elevated ( 37.5-37.7). Wednesday morning I had increasing asthma symptoms

adrenal failure
Hello everyone I have total adrenal failure, along with other endocrinological problems (premature ovarian failure meaning that I produce no sex hormones, and also very low / borderlerline thyroxine levels). I have taken a lot of short doses of prednisilone over the years, but have never been on steroids

Still trying to get my head around maddie (aged 2) beige on maintenance dose of pred daily. It's only been 8 days so far but I'm trying to understand the side effects! She's had loads of short courses of pred which have done the trick after 5 days but due to the fact she has so many relapses, Shes now

Missing work...
Hi! I'm a newbie, and so grateful having found this website last week! Essentially, I'm a teacher with asthma that is usually very well controlled. However, two weeks ago I had a huge flare up that had me hospitalised for 3 days. It was the worst I've ever had - crashed in the ambulance and ended up

An Apology
I wanted to apologise if I've inadvertantly upset anyone here in the last week or contributed to any bad feeling here - I really would hate to be responsible for that as I think this can be a great place. Apparently I've been a really irritable difficult person in the last week and I've got a lot of

Stress (shock) induced asthma
HI all Well after 30 years it's finally happened, I have had my very first very clearly stress induced asthma attack. Last night some of my neighbours decided it would be a good idea to try to start a fight with a group of drunk kids being noisy outside my house and my hubbi went out to try to calm

Sunflowers and anti malaria properties
I've read recently by chance that the North Americans indians used to use sunflowers for medicinal purposes to protect against malaria . They also used the sunflower root for rhematism. Does anyone know of any research into this? Why we are given anti malaria drugs for Lupus ? There is some info in

Holiday tribulations
hi thought I'd share my holiday tribulations. We're in a lovely one storey cottage on the island of Arran. Everything carefully chosen so as not to cause problems, a fabulous view everything just wonderful. Including unfortunately for me, the weather! Now I know that the methotrexate makes me photosensitive
