Pale skin during flare ups
Does anyone else get a really washed out, pale almost grey skin during flare ups? My Mum often comments on me looking very pale but I caught sight of myself in the mirror yesterday and my eyes were dark underneath (despite having had a long nap), skin so pale with an almost greenish grey tint. Not very

Is there a firm way to distinguish sinus issues from asthma symptoms
This might sound like a stupid question but I have a nasal condition - chronic rhinitis with polyps which is relatively managed however my nose/nasopharynx has changed somehow in the past year in that it makes whistling noises when I breath in. Particularly my left nostril it feels a bit like breathing

My lovely 15 years old grandson died this week. He had ingested a very toxic fungus while looking for plant samples in woodland. After feeling unwell and in pain his mum took him to A&E where a scan showed his stomach had a hole in it. He had urgent surgery and thirty percent of his stomach was

PSMA Analysis needed
I'm awaiting the visual images from my PSMA FDG scan. In the meantime, I've got a written report and I could do with your help. The backdrop is that I'm hoping to be considered eligible for PSMA therapy in Melbourne in May-Aug. At the heart of it lies a really simple question (and apologies for my naivety

Anyone else have Eosinophilic Asthma with chronic rhinosinusitis?
Shortly after my 5th stomach operation (4 failed for acid reflux) I was told I had Bronchiectasis along with mild asthma this was after being taken to hospital as could not breathe and blue ventolin did not work. This diagnosis eventually changed to Eosinophilic Asthma under my Respiratory Dept

Surgery etc.
Hi All, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 OC in May 2023 with the cancer migrated into my colon. I had been feeling unwell for 6 months and was assured by my doctor in February that it was acid reflux. This was despite my mentioning I have gynaecological issues in the family. The symptoms were bizarre

urethral constriction
Had chemo and then cystectomy 10 years ago. Last few years, kidney stones then UTIs, until lithotripsy for the stones. But have urethral constriction, so every 4 month I have stents put through my stoma. Has anyone heard of, or had the procedure done for the constriction using Optilume? Supposedly

Biologics
I've been referred to an Asthma specialist who will be seriously considering me for biologics. I'm 72 this year and have had asthma all of my life. I'm not too bad but I can feel things not quite right at all. I have done all the FEV stuff. I suppose I am quite fit for an asthmatic as I'm 5 ' 8

Coping with asthma at the moment
Morning fellow asthma sufferers, I'm sure there are many out there like me finding that the high pollen levels are increasing asthma symptoms. My asthma was only diagnosed 3+ years ago 6 months after my bronchiectasis diagnosis so I feel I'm still trying to understand my triggers and how to deal with

Help please
I don't really have a question just a plea for help. My story is very complicated and to go through everything would be too much for you all to read. After appalling treatment through West Herts Trust. I was told after emergency surgery that I had stage 4 Endo and it was in my bowel. Ovary with an Endo
