Unresolved Pneumonia
I have Asthma COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS) and spent several weeks in hospital 8 months ago with Pneumonia which was resistant to antibiotics. I have since been taking Ciprofloxacin as a long-term plan to reduce infections. Since my recovery, I have noticed that I have become more and more breathless

Can’t tolerate the cold—is this a lupus thing?
I am the most cold-intolerant person I know. I despise winter and would much rather be in 90 degree weather than 40s even. I can be cold when others are hot. When I’m cold I shiver and tense my muscles so much that my muscles ache, so that being cold is painful, like torture! I turn purple (do think

Do your ectopics worsen when you're ill/have a cold?
Hey all - I have my first cold in over a year and I'm feeling so much worse than usual because I am also suffering with chronic fatigue/ME. I was ablated almost 3 years ago but still regularly suffer with ectopics. Since coming down with this cold though, my heart has obviously been beating faster due

Refusal Of Perscription On Hand
I asked for Antibiotics and Steroids ready for my next chest infection as I get them invariably after each cold or flu but was denied access under the reason that they could not monitor toxisity in the body as people did not contact them to say they had took the medication. Is this now endemic to all

Hospital has now refused to do a post morton on father!
The death cert reads 1a) Multi Organ Failure 1b) Pneumoccal pneumonia 2 ) Congestive Cardiac Failure, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension But i wonder how much of that is true and why septic shock is not put down as i was told this is what my father died from?

Swim socks
Does anyone know of any good waterproof socks I could use for swimming. I work in a special needs school and have to go swimming with the kids but the pool is often cold and my feet end up cold and numb.

Scared of taking prednisolone
I’ve never taken steriods before and I’m terrified of taking them (had bad reaction to tablets once and it’s scared me) Asthma is normally controlled and only causes problems with triggers or colds etc. Started with a cold 7 days ago and it gave me a bad cough and wheezing. Peak flow was down from 500

The lungs have little air sacs called air sacs. Because of lung contamination, these packs get loaded up with discharge or other liquid, because

Asthma cough/mucus worse past three years
I've noticed lots of people on the site writing that their asthma has worsened in the last few years. A lot of us were given the pneumococcal vaccine about then, could this have triggered something? Or the ever changing flu injections?

'London throat': Toxic brake dust could cause condition, scientists say.
Dust from worn-out brake pads could have the same harmful impact as diesel emissions, according to scientists. Tests carried out by King's College London, show metallic abrasion dust can cause inflammation of the lungs and reduce immunity, increasing the risk of respiratory infections. Scientists said
