Tripped up...
OK I am just really looking for some ideas, not really medical diagnosis, but maybe some ideas on where I go from here. The situation as it stands is: Over the last 2 years, my asthma just seems to have gotten more and more aggressive and I even got to the point where I was being admitted or seen in

No real improvement after nebuliser
My son is 7, and suffers from what I think is cough variant asthma - as his only symptom is a cough. He is on cetrizene, white atrovent inhaler, ventolin and QVAR 50 preventer. On Saturday we had to visit out of hours, as his cough was bad (he had been sick twice from it, and hadn't slept much in the

Atrovent
Just got an inhaler of this to go with other two inhalers. Wondered if anyone else had had experience of it. It was the only drug that worked when I had a severe attack so hoping this might be my wonder drug. Taking 6 - 8 puffs a day. Anyone else tried it and if so how soon did it work for them

cough variant asthma - any tips?
Hello, I am new to this website and forum, but so glad I found it! I was diagnosed with cough variant asthma some 11 years ago (39 now) and was never quite convinced that any of the dr's I was seeing were at all sure what to do with someone who wasn't wheezing. I now have a veritable pharmacy in my

Bricanyl MDI
HiI know on the old site there was a thread about this and the withdrawal (if that is a word!) of it. I am confused because I went to see my consultant last Thursday and she prescribed bricanyl MDI to me for the first time instead of salbutamol. She did this because I get really bad shakes with the salbutamol

Discontinued inhaler, bank holidays and feeling poorly
First off, sorry for the length of this post, I just need to sound off a bit. I've been feeling rough for weeks, I took a course of oral steroids about a month ago when it started but symptoms only partially resolved. Saw the asthma nurse at the hospital who said to hold off taking another course as

Slightly scary experience - anyone else on montelukast found this happens?
So I forgot to take my (double dose) montelukast yesterday evening - d'oh! tbh had been feeling not so great anyway, but really felt pretty SOB this evening, could feel that I was breathless talking though not sure it was noticeable and was REALLY struggling on the walk home, slowed right down and definitely

Atrovet
I have just had a bad admission to the local costa. Finally I am free. Have had meds changed etc and find myself with atrovent nebs and inhaler as well as usual ventolin. How does this work? It seems to last longer than the ventolin. Can I take this in an attack? The info from said costa was not

Novovirus
Just had a unique experience due to Novovirus closing chest wards, stayed on a ward that was crashed open hence at first there was only beds! No tables, lockers, water jugs or more worringly enough nebulisers. I was ok because i have my nebs via O2 but 1 nebuliser for 18 patients is a bit scary. The

Out of control asthma: how do I survive?
I have a *probable* dx of intrinsic asthma - the ""challenge"" test of a few weeks ago indicated that I don't have the allergic type. They seem to have eliminated other causes for my chronic cough, chest tightness and wheezing...every year I get a ""cold"" that lasts 2-3 months, then I still cough when

Venting for a moment...(warning this is long)
I feel so bad whinging here, as I know many of the members here have much much more severe asthma than what I've got. I caught a cold a week ago, started with a sore throught on Monday, Tues the runny nose, no fever just slightly elevated ( 37.5-37.7). Wednesday morning I had increasing asthma symptoms

Atrovent
Sorry if this has been answered before but I had a look and couldn't quite find what I was after in the other Atrovent posts. Just been prescribed this by GP, it tastes awful but seems (just on a couple of puffs) to be doing at least something! Label says 'two puffs when symptoms' and I know it works
