8 puffs of Fostair 200/6 a day - really?
I’m in the sixth week of oral prednisolone for asthma - tapering down 5mg a week from 40mg starting dose. Annoyingly, when I got down to 20mg, my peak flow started to drop so the doctor told me to go back up to 25mg and also to double the Fostair to 8 puffs a day. Is that a normal dose - I thought 4

Why is my breathing suddenly so bad?
I have had asthma for years but although I admit I generally haven't taken my preventer regularly I have felt very comfortable. Suddenly my symptoms have become severe. No cough, just tight and unable to breathe easily. When it first started it was terrifying as my chest, diaphragm and ribs felt exhausted

Ongoing tummy issues - no idea what's wrong :(
Hey guys! I made a post about a week ago, but just wanted to make a more detailed one on symptoms i’ve been experiencing and my worries. Sorry if it’s long! For context, i’m 21 years old, weight about 40kg and i’m 5ft1 (bmi is within the underweight region). I’ve been this way for a few years now, so

Sore upper chest
Hi. Wondering if anyone else has had anything similar. My upper chest feels really sore and has for about two weeks. I finished steroids last week as my pf dropped to 500 (usually 650). I have moved house and lots of dust as I’m am waiting for my flooring to be laid. My peak flow is now about 550.

I’m getting a bit breathless on Fostair MART
I’ve been on Fostair MART for nearly 2 months and gradually my cough has got less and my breathlessness went away. Yesterday and today I e felt a bit breathless and I took an extra puff on my inhaler, but it hasn’t really helped. Should I take the maximum 8 puffs again (I did this for two weeks when

Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us NowSongwriters: Diane Warren / Albert Hammond
Well overall it has been a good week, although it has been “b****y” freezing as my mother would say. I often wondered why my mother would swear every other word but say as children we were not allowed to. Do not get me wrong she never used very foul language, just the “b” words. I soon found I had

A wee observation
I started a low carb Keto diet in August. Some ups and downs but I’ve lost 2 stones in weight. I’ve reduced to 7.5mg pred. It’s not been easy. But I’m starting to see my face again. However, I’ve just had a high carb weekend of excess and boy does my body know it. I’ve just spent most of the day in

Gut microbiota composition reflects disease severity and dysfunctional immune responses in patients with COVID-19
The possible implications of gut microbiota have often been discussed here in relation to thyroid disorders and more. It is in the spirit of adding to that, I post about the new paper below. Please try to keep comments to this subject. :-) [i]

Steroid Inhalers Aid Covid Recovery
An article in The Guardian today has an explanation of why asthma sufferers were not at so much at risk of hospitalisation with Covid as we were told at the beginning of the pandemic, Our steroid inhalers protected us from the worst of it! I must say I felt that, and the week’s course of steroid tablets

Quick, vegetarian lchf lunch
I’ve just made this pancake, which is so quick to make and delicious, so thought I’d share. Beat a large egg in a bowl, add 1 heaped tbsp ground almonds and some grated Cheddar. Melt a knob of butter in a small frying pan and fry for a few minutes each side. Here I’ve served it with some samphire and

Very little variation in peak flow during flare-ups - why, and anyone else?
Hi, I have had asthma for 15+ years, mod-severe for 1.5 years. In the last 7months have had 3 rescue courses of pred and been changed from Fostair 200/6 2puffs twice a day to Atectura 125/260 1puff once daily by my consultant (which hasn’t helped). What seems strange to me is that I never have great

Asthma RA thank you
Just a quick update to say thanks for those that gave me so many tips and things to do and sort Thursday. Getting a peak flow tube has already made me realise how poor my asthma is right now but also my understanding of asthma and how to control it is too weak. Been thinking it was RA issues as well

Feeling rubbish but clear chest???

Pregnancy and montelukast
Hi everyone, would love to know your thoughts on this. Originally getting pregnant and discussing this with one of my GPs, they were fine with me carrying on with normal medication (seritide 125 2x2 and montelukast). However I then spoke to another GP at the practice who is more specialist in asthma
