Difficulty clearing lungs
I read all the time about bronchiectasis sufferers having to clear their lungs daily but I find this so very difficult. I have been given certain aids and tried most things but still I cannot cough up much and only at certain times of the day - after extra activity which gives me a chesty cough -

What are the things people experience when recovering from pneumonia and anxiety at the same time?
I've finished my antibiotics but I still feel chest pain and shortness of breath. What can I do?

Learning about Asthma through Covid-19
Hello, I can honestly say, that I have learnt more about my asthma in the 3 or so months since the pandemic started than anyone ever told me about it in the 20 years prior. When suddenly I was classed as "vulnerable" I did some searching to find out why. Turns out I really didn't (don't?) understand

Looking for people who have phased out Carbidopa/Levodopa in favor of an all-mucuna program
I was diagnosed in 2006, and have progressed through Requip, Sinemet, and Rytary, recently exploring mucuna in place of Rytary. My maximum dosage of Rytary was four capsules of 3.75/95 four times a day; I have gradually reduced my Rytary amount to three capsules in the morning, followed by 350 milligrams

Coronavirus: asymptomatic people can still develop lung damage.
Modern medicine rightly emphasises the importance of science. The focus, however, too often displaces our attention from the real point of healthcare – to care. This is nicely captured by William Osler’s (1849-1919) admonition to attend to the patient rather than their disease – a sentiment treated as

Coughing while on ventilator
My husband continues to be on ventilator and is not waking up. We are on Day 10 . There have been no changes. He shows no motion and does not move when touched. The pneumonia seems to have cleared. Today the nurse mentioned that he has been coughing a lot. Is coughing a good sign ? could that mean an

Tonsillitis & Decapeptyl injection
Evening all. I keep getting tonsillitis or sore throat & wondering if it’s to do with hormone injections or endo? I eat pretty healthy foods low sugar no dairy, wheat or red meat. I take extra vitamins so really don’t understand why I keep getting this. Anyone with similar experience or advice?

Continuous colds
Hi, I'm waiting to see a rheumatologist and have been reading up on lupus. I suffer with constant and what seems like continuous colds, could this have anything to do with lupus. Before bloods showed lupus markers I had visited the gp and they put me on some nasal spray. I used it religiously for about

Natural Remedy
3 years ago I reported I had given up on my prescription medication and now take magnesium 375mg and ginkgo biloba 10,000mg once a day. As an updated it has not cured my rls but certainly contained it within acceptable limits so will not be going back to prescription medication.

Flares of COPD /chronic bronchitis
Hi , last year a CAT scan showed chronic bronchitis - signs of COPD. It made sense - getting shortness of breath/ used to smoke. But over the last 4 or 5 years I have regular bouts of extreme fatigue, inflammation and painful eyes ears throat, neck muscles and fever . Is this normal with COPD? It

Urinary Retention 8 months post hysterectomy
Hi. On the 31st of October I had a total hysterectomy with ovarian conservation. Since then I experienced recurrent UTI symptoms. By the time I got to my 7th time my GP referred me to urology. I had a cystoscopy in which debris was found in my bladder. I started medications that just made things worse

red tide and copd
I was diagnosed with copd in 2017. I had quit smoking 35 years ago. I had never even had a cold in my lungs ever. The only thing I can think of was I went deep sea fishing ,while we were out there fishing we noticed the bait we would catch was dying. To find out the Red tide was out and awful. By 2

Loss of taste on steroids
Back in February while in Spain I had my first ever flare up ( copd) Doctor prescribed antibiotics and steroid injection and tablets, said I was close to pneumonia. I was pretty rough with wheezing, cough, breathing etc. But never having had steroid tablets before I wasn’t sure what to expect.

After coronavirus, another hidden respiratory disease lurks in the buildings we left behind.
Global outbreaks of coronavirus have forced the closing of schools, gyms, offices and other buildings at a scale never seen before. Now, as countries start reopening after lockdown, those previously abandoned buildings could have become a breeding ground for another infection – Legionnaires’ disease.
