Cleaning spacer
Hi as you see in pic when the flashlight is shining at. Is that residue from inhaler or suds from cleaning the spacer and them drying into the tube after leaving it to air dry or was that already there before I used it. How do I remove it.

Positive ANA speckled test - MCAS
I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome earlier this year but the treatment hasn’t helped much. I have weekly bladder instillations and have been on antibiotics since Feb. I had a cystoscopy which showed biofilm in the bladder. I also have gastro issues and sensitivity to food - MCAS diet

O2 saturation and heart rate
May I ask if anyone takes measurements of O2 saturation during asthma attacks? Do you see numbers drop significantly during attacks? I know my asthma is bad when I cannot talk in sentences and must lie down to let it pass. While lying down, the heart rate is at 130 and stays until rescue inhaler kicks

Asthma spacer
Hi I clean my spacer every 5 to 7 days and use soapy water with anti static cloth for cleaning inside tube only when washing it to remove residue from inhaler as without cloth just washing it in soapy water doesn’t reduce residue or medicine stick in tube but I use a fostair inhaler with a aerochamber

Urgent Advice please Do I carry on with Fostair inhaler with Prednisone?
Hi I am now taking a short dose of Prednisone for the first time and forgot to ask GP if I should also continue taking my Fostiar steroid inhaler? I suspect so as he didn’t tell me to stop! But I don’t know for sure and I am due another dose of Fostair before bed? Does anyone know thank you in anticipation

Thank you
I would like to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice when I was feeling very low and thought my asthma would never become controllable again . Well after listening to you all and Persevering with my Symbicort inhaler, I am pleased to say I feel so much better I have even started swimming again-slowly

Puzzled by asthma symptoms and then no symptoms

New asthma nurse
Hi I have been for my appointment today with a different nurse as my usual one has been off sick for a while. She said to keep doing what I am doing now inhaler wise but is keen to get me seen by the respiratory specialist, as it appears things are uncontrolled. She said she would feel a bit happier

ARE YOU A NON TREMOR DOMINANT PD PATIENT WITH DYSKINESIA? IF SO, PLEASE HELP.
Hi, your suggestions would help a lot. I am beginning to have dyskinesia more frequently. Mostly worse at night. I take Rytary 3pills 145mg, (8am,12noon,4pm and 8pm). My MDS thinks it is motor fluctuations, caused by uneven plasma level of Levodopa. He suggested that I should add two more pills,

Oxygen supplement
Has any one used a non medical oxygen inhaler like clearc2. It has a face mask and you can use it in 10 second spurts, it does say not for medical use but it did help last night in the heat.

I have switched from Qvar to Fostair. Do I have to experience side effects even though I have used other inhalers in the past?

Chronic chest pain is making me crazy

Been calling my GP and going to a&e many times with chest x-ray, blood work, ECG results that were fine. No spirometer test as gp said
