Is anyone having a problem with excessive coughing up of phleghm?
Does anyone else have this problem? I am having so much problem with phlegm. Having allergy shots for years. Nasal sprays, flovent, zyrtec, now pd dr. put me on mucinex 2x day. Any suggestions? It is bothering me more than my Parkinson's at this point.

GP rationing my ventolin - very scared
Hi everyone, my name is Selina, and this is my first time posting on this forum. I'm 56, widowed, and have suffered rom severe asthma all my life, and more recently, COPD. Last month my GP drastically reduced my Ventolin inhalers from one a week to one every two weeks. He claimsI was over-using it.

A good appt this time!
Since I seem to moan a lot about appts, just thought I'd say that I had a really good one this morning! Last time I made a bit of a mess of it all but though I was really nervous beforehand this time, I managed to have a sensible (and long - over an hour!) conversation with my cons where we covered a

Just an update.
Just been to the Docs this morning. Keeping me on Atrovent, it must be working it stops the wheez I get first thing in a morning. I'm still occasionally bringing dark green phlegm up, a couple of times per month I'd say. Dr says she can't hear anything on my chest and it's clear of infection. I've

Stopping Atrovent
Hi all, hope everyone is keeping well! my asthma has been really unstable over the past year or so (had 5 admissions this year already!) i was on a trial of Xolair which made no difference to my spirometery and very little difference to my quality of life so they stopped it, but they have also stopped

Hi guys, I haven't been around in a long while, but I supposed my asthma was O.K. for a bit, or at least I had other health and life issues to deal with! And then my doctors have been giving me a bit of the run around with some of my symptoms, but I'm convinced they

What to do now
Hi Everyone I'm struggling a bit at the moment. I had colds last October, November and December! I needed oral Steroids in October but that was the only time I had them in 2011. In the new year I felt like I'd got a constant cold and the Asthma was playing up, especially in the mornings. My GP thought

Atrovent
Has anyones little one had this and what was it used for/with? I am a little confused as if this is a preventer or reliever, some ppl I have spoken to have used it for both! The reason I am asking is because Isaac was given this to try instead of his salbutamol (to check if sal was making him hyper

Nebs v Inhalers?!?!
My daughter is 3 years old and a brittle asthmatic - in the last 4 weeks we've needed 4 courses of pred and antibiotics! We've also had 4 hospital stays - on our second to last discharge the Dr suggested not to give my daughter 4 hourly nebs and swap over to inhalers instead as these are proven to be

13 year old with asthma- a few questions
Hi! I have a 13 year old daughter (Haley) who was diagnosed with asthma when she was 11. It was very mild, the doctors even called it ""borderline"", meaning they weren't sure if it was bad enough to even call it asthma.She went about 2 years hardly using her inhaler, probably about once a month This

Well Maddie is 2 and a half. She is on so many meds, including maintenance pred 3mg daily and pulmicort 2mg daily. As well as montelukast, serevent, atrovent, omeprazole, ventolin, ceterizine. Anyway she's always been a little chunk! Cuddly shall we say! She was put on maintenance pred about 8 weeks
