That was a celebration picture!
But the weather is tempestuous and things are hard..going to hospital to see Mum, so brave, my little fighter with half a toe all stitched up. She wants to come back with me this time. I’m trying to get things organised. We’ll see if she still wants to once she is home. I’m congested more than ever.

First severe asthma attack (long post sorry)
On Saturday I had a really bad asthma attack. I’ve had a couple before that I thought were bad but with each one it seems to get worse. Although, thankfully they’re pretty spread apart. On Saturday I couldn’t breathe. My chest was really tight. I took 19 puffs of salbutamol, was taken out of my work

General anaesthetics for gallbladder removal and asthma.
I saw him today and he is suggesting I start a course of prednisone a few days before the op and that I am put on a
nebulizer
prior to the op. My question is. Has anyone who suffers from bad asthma had this operation and how was it handled. I am 72yrs old.

Hello
Last year I had around 18 severe asthma attacks that required paramedics out, a
nebulizer
treatments, and at least half of them involved a trip to the hospital. I'm on 4 different inhalers and 4 tablets currently.

What I wish I had known (and what I have learnt through trial and error!)
Asthma is a learning curve so here’s what I wish I had known from the beginning! In no particular order: 1. Asthma is different for everyone. Obvious now, but starting out to me asthma was asthma - a blue pump fixed it and a brown pump prevented it. Now I know all the different types and severity, and

Bronchiectasis/Brittle Asthma
They have also tried tobramycin
nebulizer
but these have had to be stopped due to severe tightening of the chest and worsening of asthma symptoms. The main problem I am experiencing when admitted with chest infection is premature discharge before the infection is eradicated.

Home Nebuliser revisited
Just wanted to say thank you to all those lovely people who responded to my recent post regarding getting hold of a ho,e nebuliser. We did get one from a family member, but still no medication from the gp! However, that’s the least of our problems. My other half was taken to hospital by emergency

The chaos of an understaffed over-run hospital
Hi I have the utmost respect for my local hospital staff (docs and nurses) 😊 and the biggest ball of anger to the nhs funding cuts from the government 😤. For 5 hours yesterday evening I witnessed staff having to cover too many patients, leading to delays and misplaced notes, causing stressed staff

Home nebuliser
Morning everyone, just back from hospital as other half who has copd and is getting over a chest infection was taken there this morning by ambulance as he couldn’t get his breath after a coughing fit early this morning. The hospital have recommended that he has a home nebuliser so to go to his gp to

Severe/chronically poorly controlled asthma: what do people do with 'small' flares?
I know the usual advice for attacks/poor control etc, but what do people on here who have chronic poor control do for flares that are more than their baseline level, but not enough for hospital etc? (NB the following is very particular to me and is not something I am advising for anyone else, especially

Severe asthma attack ...still poorly
Hi guys I'll try and keep this as short as possible. I got out of hospital yesterday after a severe asthma attack. I didn't respond to nebulisers as much as they hoped so I had IV magnesium then had more or less continuous nebs and oxygen for 24 hours. I've been discharged on antibiotics, steroids 40mg

I'm new to this!
Am currently on a
nebulizer
and two different inhalers. But I do wonder are there certain foods better for me and will I be able to lose weight asking because of the steroids. I've always been told you can never lose weight while taking steroids.

Calling nebuliser users! RE: Help with choosing a new one
Having just found out that my Aquilon2 nebuliser was recalled in February (due to the manufacturer still marketing and distributing it after the withdrawal of the CE accreditation) I’m looking to buy a new nebuliser compressor. I have the older version of the Omron micro-air for when I’m out and about

Suspected asthma but no wheeze
I have been suffering with a cough for 2 months. It is worst at night, waking me from sleep and when I exercise. I saw a nurse about 5weeks ago and she suspected asthma. My peak flow was only 220, about half of what it should be. I was given a blue inhaler to relieve symptoms. I used this frequently
