awful cough before transfer- can I take anything?
Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing ok on their journey. I have my transfer on Monday morning and have the worst cough I’ve ever had, it’s so chesty and painful. I just wondered if I could take some cough medicine or anything in advance of transfer or if it will affect my lining or chances? I

Change from Nucala to Dupixent
Hello all! I don’t post much but read daily. I have eosinophilic asthma and chronic sinusitis. I’ve been on Nucala for the last 5 years and have been relatively well controlled. After a mild case of covid I developed bronchitis and was treated, but after that, I can’t seem to stop coughing. I have constant

FLU VACCINE
I am in the UK on Venetoclax and have just spent 5 days in hospital with COVID. Is it safe to have the flu vaccine and is it hit or miss whether the vaccine is actually for the strain of flu which is going to be around this winter

Holter test delay
I have AF and heart failure. I am been treated by medication. I had a bad turn where my heart rate went down to 43. I contacted my cardiac nurse who halved the dose of Bisoprolol. He organised a holter monitor. That was the 7 of February still not had an appointment to be fitted. My nurse will not increase

Costochondritis
I had a bad cough with a chest infection (in my opinion). The third time this year. On previous 2 occasions, I was given 30mg pred per day for 5 days and an antibiotic, and chest cleared each time. I have been in contact with covid, but have not had +ve test. This time I was not given, I was refused

?asthma
a few years ago after a bout of bronchitis which I often got in the winter I was given asthma pumps, I’ve never been sure if I had asthma. Following wheezing when I lay down or even in the day my doctor listened to my chest and sent me for a chest X-ray, this showed a shadow on my lung and I was sent

Thanks to you all
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who replied to my previous post about my partner being diagnosed with emphysema. I spoke to a wonderful specialist nurse called Liz over the phone yesterday who reaffirmed a lot of what had been said. We spoke to his GP over the phone this morning and

Flu jab
As flu vaccine season will soon be on us I was wondering if my husband will get a flu jab this year (I have asthma, therefore I qualify). In previous years he has been eligible but I believe the criteria has changed. Any thoughts?

Advice on increasing Pred for breathlessness and persistent cough
My GP told me that breathlessness is a symptom of PMR, so I can't seek her advice on how to manage this cough etc. Some people are saying that Eris Covid is around and it presents as a bad cough which does not show up as positive on home covid testing kits. I have had a persistent productive cough

Digoxin vs Pace & Ablate?
As some already know I’ve had a hard recovery since ablation on 23/11/22. HR was on the rise again slowly from then and the severe respiratory episode went on & on. Just coming to the end of what I think is maybe the 5th antibiotic course! I’ve now been on digoxin 125mcg since 28/2/22 and following

Kennel cough vaccine dilemma
My wife recently took my dog to the vets for his annual booster and kennel cough vaccine. As I am immunocompromised I am aware that there is a very small risk to myself as the kennel cough vaccine is live. I also understood (maybe incorrectly) that if my dog did not have the vaccine and were to subsequently

Intubation could become a relic of the Covid era
Millions of people around the globe suffer from acute
respiratory
failure
from different causes – not just Covid – and 35.9% never make it out of the hospital. Those who do survive face a long recovery period. Readmission rates are high and around 30 percent of patients develop PTSD.
