Silly asthma!!!

Week 4 repeated Day 2
I finally did it! Managed to run for the full 16 minutes today. So strange since I haven’t been able to get past 12 minutes before today. I wanted to stop many times but managed the first 5 minute segment well and then really struggled during the last 5 minute segment and the small hernia on my left

asthma inhaler interaction with prednisone?
just adding to my previous post, yesterday I started using an asthma inhaler, (called Symbicort, active ingredients budesonide and fumaterol fumarate dihydrate ) prescribed for a long term cough, hopefully to be cleared up after two weeks of the inhaler. Could this have any bearing on the reappearance

Acid Reflux from Symbicort
recently diagnosed with asthma. Began with Symbicort DPI, but suffered a number of side effects. Have changed to Seritide inhaler, but am left with acid reflux side effect from Symbicort. Has anyone experienced something similar? Has the change in meds resulted in the reflux dissipating over time? Any

Peak flow
Hello there Can I ask if there’s a way to get health professionals to take your symptoms seriously even if your peak flow is your best? Mine is at my best yet I’m SOB, yawning loads (stops if I use reliever), coughing and my breathing is noticeable to other family members. It’s definitely not anxiety

Increasing intolerance to steroid inhalers
I seem to be having an increasing intolerance to preventer
inhalers
. My asthma nurse in unhappy as I do have to take my Ventolin several times a day, although for me, as I've had asthma since I was about 5, it doesn't bother me. Anyway, I take a Montelukast tablet every night (no problem).

Unsuitable medication for AF?
My wife is suffering terrible side effects with these new drugs, exhaustion, trouble breathing, dizziness, aching muscles, general lethargy and it makes her asthma
inhalers
less effective.

Just wanting to air my frustration really. For background - I have asthma (since childhood) now with small airways disease (last year spirometry showed obstruction in small airways and CT scan showed mucus plugging). I had a nasty haemaphilus infection in March (I have a persistent productive cough

Inconsistant spirometry?
So I have been for my spirometry test but they refused to do reversibility as my results were to inconsistant. Apparently I couldn't empty my lungs enough and my results were variable. I was really struggling as I hadn't had my inhaler and the thunderstorms were triggering me. She acted really annoyed

Adrenal Insufficiency
Hi I have been into hospital for further blood tests to monitor adrenal function and my body is not making cortisol so sadly I need the hydrocortisone dose. I don’t know if this is the same for all in this situation. I may even need to have my doses increased. The steroid is holding my Vasculitis too

Last run for a couple of weeks 😭
I’m not going to stress over it ( she says secretly stressing) but I have my steroid injection this afternoon and I have been quietly hoping that this will be the Holy Grail that will sort my hip pain out for good. As the day has got nearer I have had to keep telling myself it might not!! And not to

Montekulast
My 11 year has just been prescribed Montekulast - to use on top of two brands of anti histamines and a purple inhaler. Bit nervous about side effects. How have other parents with children on Montekulast got on?
