Does Maxidex steroid add to Pred dose?
I had a new lens fitted on 2 April and have to use Dexamethasomex or Maxidex four times a day. Does this add to my total steroid intake with the Pred. Am on 10 mg after a flare and trying to get back to 7.5 as soon as possible. I also have a preventative asthma inhaler which is a steroid presumably

thrush in mouth
I have had antibiotics lately and have thrush in my mouth. I have been prescribed Nystan to take 4 times a day. The nurse /practioner said also rinse my mouth after using my steroid inhaler.The problem is do I rinse and spit or rinse and swallow? Swallowing is so much easier

NHS On The Ball As Ever, Not.
I recently wrote that at the end of February I spent the day in the emergency dept due to shortness of breath, I'd been advised to go there by the GP surgery. Anyway it was decided after lots of tests it was an exacerbation of my asthma, I was treated with a nebuliser, steroids and a stronger inhaler

Any tips for getting your breath back ?

Flu won’t go away.

Problems with alternative inhaler to Seretide
I have been on the Seretide inhaler for 3 years , it was fine. However now I Am told that the replacement from the pharmacy ,which does not seem to have the same effect for me ,is the same , it clearly isn't ,I have changed my technique of inhalation and it makes no difference. I studied the leaflet
