Should I be shielding if I am offered the flu jab via my doctors?
I am 48 year old asthmatic and have been offered the flu jab from my doctors for years. Although I have never been admitted to hospital with my asthma, I was almost admitted 3 years due to a respiratory virus (which I had 3 courses of oral steroids for). Last may I had a chest infection and was given

Past nasal drip leads to tidness when breathing
Hi I have already been mentioning my problems with past nasal drip and got very helpful advice as my GP not even explained what it was. I received a prescription for a nasal spray (Mometasone Furoate,) take Ventolin when needed(,although it doesn't help for my problem,,) and Clenil 2hubs 2 a day. My

Advice on daughter (10) 3 month cough? Asthma or Post Viral Cough? Or both?!
Hello, any help appreciated. My daughter is 10 and has terrible cough for 3 months. It was relapsing/remitting in severity, but worse now than before. She was diagnosed with asthma at 5 and has been hospitalised once. Mostly she is controlled on clenol and montelukast. We have access to Respiratory consultant

Is it just a cold or...
Is it just a cold or is it covid-19. As a person with lung disease (emphysema) it doesn't really matter in a way. Just a cold...to compromised lung person often turn to pneumonia and chest infections. Maybe its just more likely to catch the covid? For sure there are many many people in the world

Anyone know about this research that warned against taking gabapentin and pregabalin?
After reviewing dozens of animal studies, clinical studies and case studies, they concluded that:[3] “[Neurontin] can induce diverse side effects such as teratogenicity, hypoventilation,

, deficits in visual field, myopathy, self-harm behavior, suicidal behavior, mitochondrial toxicity

Recovery time after flu triggered asthma exacerbation
Hello folks, wondering if anyone has any experience of this? I am 43 and have had asthma since I was a child. As an adult it has been largely well controlled and mild ( with periods of no inhalers, and others needed to take a preventative steroid inhaler). In December 2019 I caught flu, and ended up

Dizzy with Nebuliser.
I was given a Nebuliser by my Respiratory Nurse to try. On my 2nd day I'm finding that it does loosen the Sputem but it makes me very dizzy and light headed. As well as COPD I have Heart failure and read somewhere that they're not suitable for people with that. Shall I carry on "Nebulising" or stop

Feeling Sad
As I've mentioned before my husband was in the hospital back in October for aspirated pneumonia and UTI that was septic. He had a feeding tube put in at that time. He had a hard time adjusting to not eating. I did feed him comfort food...pudding, apple sauce, etc. Anyway, he went to the hospital

Does anyone know what counts as 'recurrent infections'?
Good morning all, hope you are all well today! Bit grey here in Surrey but the birds are still singing. :) I've just been looking at the kindly provided Leeds Hospital guidance chart on risk levels, and wondered if anyone could clarify for me what is meant by suffering from 'recurrent infections'? I

Failing Badly
Help! I'm supposed to be losing weight, but since lockdown and the cold weather, I seem to be over indulging again. For some reason my brain decides that cold weather is a good reason for a bit of comfort eating. I am being way too heavy handed with bread, cold weather is a great time for soup, but

Day 50: Failure.
It's amazing how much failure is part of every success story I've read about. It's also equally amazing how failure when trying to lose weight brings a sense of self-loathing and giving in. I'm not good enough, I'll always be like this, I'll never lose it etc becomes the cry of those that slip. Instead
