Chest infection at asthma review appointment.
Hello everyone. I am looking for a bit of advice. I have had green phlegm since March last year and had lots of antibiotics for crackles on lung. Sputum samples have been normal. I had my asthma review and on the appointment, my temp was 37.8, high pulse and CRP of 8.5 so GP reviewed me and heard crackles

Recently Diagnosed COPD
HiI've been recently diagnosed with mild COPD about 2 months ago. Tbh I really only noticed it doing uphill walks or long walks . But in the past few weeks it's become more apparent. Now just having a shower or going up the stairs makes me breathless. It seems to be getting worse and quickly. GP

Asthma review
She was lovely, checked my
inhalers
and one I find difficult to use with my arthritic hands, she is going to try to change. Most impressive was that she had brought me information about bronchiecstasis! I was diagnosed by a consultant at my local hospital, a huge teaching hospital, in 2012.

Follow up -back to Fostair - hooray.
I wrote about this two months ago, where a group pharmacist who i have never seen or spoken to changed my Fostair to Fobumix powder and just sent a text to tell me about the change. I was pretty annoyed about this at the time. I had wondered about Fostair MART regime, but never had a chance to discuss

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I had thyroiditis many years ago. Since then, my dose of levothyroxine (and for a while NDT) has varied. However, it has never been a high dose (I don't have any record of it going over 100mcg/day), it has been as low as 25mcg/day, but settled at just 37.5mcg/day (driven by me, based on combination of

Inhaler Recycling
I would therefore encourage readers to take their used
inhalers
back to their pharmacy (if they are not doing so already) as I suspect many
inhalers
are recyclable.

spacer with mask vs spacer with mouthpiece
Hi all, I have recently been prescribed a spacer with a face mask- apparently it’s the latest recommendation. I have used a spacer with a mouthpiece for years. The idea is that you breathe normally through the mask , it should be more efficient at delivering the dose of inhaled medication- meaning that
