At what point do you usually take oral steroids?
Adult onset asthma 4 years ago. Viruses, cold air, sometimes exercise, some chemicals and smoke. To be honest I’ve always been faintly like this, it just got significantly worse after my first pregnancy. No allergies though some chemicals seem to sometimes make me cough if I’m a bit inflamed. Never

Theophylline (and query about lung function tests)
Hello all, I saw a consultant today who has prescribed theophylline. I've just read up on it and note on the Asthma UK site that regular blood tests are recommended to keep an eye on dosage levels... my consultant never mentioned this. Can anyone on theophylline advise whether they have regular blood

Active Cycle of Breathing alongside Nebulisers
Not sure if everyone with bronchiectasis has to do this, but my mum does physiotherapy and other techniques alongside the nebuliser ( saline, plus salbutamol when needed) e.g. one method is called The Active Cycle of Breathing which helps her a lot to get the phlegm up and her oxygen saturation levels

Consultant appointment today
Yes I went to my appointment today. He is considering conditions that mimic asthma as I do not have family history of asthma only allergies and excema and hayfever. He said it does look like asthma but then he said infections can mimic asthma also. Now I am wondering! He also said about doing spirometry

Query about reverse t3
I think this is a question for Diogenes. Following some study for a course I have been thinking about t3. I have always assumed that a free t3 blood result will have a proportion of reverse t3 in the result. Is this correct? And liothyronine medication, is it formulated with only the active t3 or is

Undiagnosed daughter on alot of medication, anyone similar?
So here goes, hello I am Natasha. My daughter is five years old on Sunday. She is un-diagnosed and has carried out lung function tests which have determined she is not asthmatic by consultants now at Derby and Great Ormond Street. She lives on daily, slo-phyllin, montelukas, seretide, steroids in winter

What inhalers do you have for your asthma?
Hi all, I'm just curious about what inhalers you all use for asthma and what type of asthma do you have? I currently have an undiagnosed breathing prob which is 24-7 and much worse on even light exertion but no tests I've had have conclusively provided a reason why. I'm looking to get asthma looked

Advice needed please
I’m on Symbicort twice daily for asthma and mild COPD. Only just realised that having just used up one inhaler, my spare has gone missing. I’m on holiday in America for the next 3 weeks. Upon asking in the local pharmacy if I could buy Symbicort I was advised that I need a prescription (so need to

New inhaler dispenser. Bit annoyed.
I picked up two new cannisters of salbutamol, except the pharmacist gave me salamol easi-breathe instead of normal metered dose ventolin. I wouldn't mind except I didn't realise what it was until I got home. I'm no good at taking MDI without a spacer (always but especially in an attacj) or DPI. I've

Unable to get words out and confusion
My daughter in law flew to Malaga with her sister for the weekend and felt strange as she got off the plane. Her vision became affected and she became incoherent and confused. Her sister called for an ambulance and she's now in hospital with tests being run. She was recovering a little in hospital last

Oh crumbs continued.....
So my virus came and stayed, causing me fairly significant fever for a couple of nights and a lot of coughing. I doubled my Symbicort starting Christmas Eve. I muddled through Christmas Eve and Day, with help from the family, but by Boxing Day common sense won and I got an appointment with out of hours

3 cancelled respiratory hospital appointments
Advice if possible please. Back on prednisolone after asthma attack / bronchiectasis flare. Sometimes it is just so difficult to separate the two. Lower lungs tight - fatigue horrendous. Was given Phyllocontin by consultant. 2 tablets made heart pound so agreed I tablet daily. Stopped after month horrible

Embarrassed to be so eager to be diagnosed with asthma
I don’t think other people can understand how unsettling it is to not have a definitive diagnosis and plan of care. When you break your ankle, you have an X-ray, get a cast, use crutches, heal in a set number of weeks and everyone knows and it is easy to explain. As I’ve been bounced around to doctors
