Is it really asthma?
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with asthma following a bout of whooping cough as a baby. In and out of hospital a lot as a child. Grew out of it at the age of 11, but it came back following a bereavement when I was in my 30's. I'm 62 now, and on Symbicort (which gives me horrendous leg and foot cramps

hi tahira
I will stop using my nebuliser for the next two weeks ( to see what happens). I asked my doctor about using Vic vapour rub, she said I should not use it because of my server COPD, my lungs are only working at 18%. To be prescribed oxygen your blood gases must be low. I hope to hear from you soon. Stay

Hi again and a quick question
I posted just over a month ago about being diagnosed with COPD. At the time I was in a state but with everybody's advice and just reading different posts on here, I have realised that this condition will only beat you if you let it. The question, is there more than one that an exacerbation can occur

Son 16 months steroids
Hi this is the first time posting. Looking for advice for my son. He is on ventolin and clenil inhalers. He had what they thought was bronchilitus last winter and a few hospital admissions for nebuliser and oxygen. He continued wheezing/coughing and in April was referred to a paediatrician. Since

When to use nebuliser
I was wondering how often peoe use their nebuliser and how you decide it's the time to use it. I take 2 puffs of 250 Seretide twice a day with a spacer and ventolin as and when needed. But this time of year, with the usual chest infection, on antibiotics and steroids, just wondering if using the nebuliser

Does anyone use a nebuliser
First off this is not an attempt to circumvent any rules of the forum, far from it. I admit the recent post did raise my level of curiosity. I have often considered buying a nebuliser to see if it would be of any help when I have one of my exacerbations that are generally virus related. Would one be

Anyone with "normal" FEV1 staged at moderate emphysema?
Hi everyone! I had my first visit to a respiratory specialist today and I'm even more confused. I thought staging was based on PFT results. With an FEV1/FVC % of less than .70 and an FEV1 95% predicted I thought pointed to mild emphysema. Though when the specialist put up the CT scans from May 2013
