Some praise for allergy drops!!
Hi everybody, I was diagnosed with allergic asthma two years ago and my body never agreed with inhaled steroids (the side effects were horrendous: depression, lack of energy, extreme weakness... the list goes on). A year ago a doctor put me on allergy drops, which combined my three allergens (dust mites

COVID & asthma: are we at risk, or are we protected?
In fact like for like, there is a small study that suggests that controlled
asthma
may be a protective characteristic (ie decreases risk of
severe
complications/death).

Asthma and Finger Nails
Hi all, I have a very random question. I’ve noticed that my finger nails are very thin and curl up at the ends. I put this down to chemical damage from having back to back gel manicures. I just read an article saying that this is actually a symptom of a lack of oxygen due to conditions such as asthma

Black stools following Chemo
I've just completed 4 cycles of Chemo therapy after removing a tumour from my Colon. Ihave a stoma bag and my output is black / dark brown. I've had two OGD's to check out the bleeding in my stomach but they found nothing except gastritis. Has anyone had any similar experiences. Thank you. Michael

Advice needed
Hi their folks, back in March I had a
severe
asthma
flare up which may or may not have been due to COVID, it was suspected but I couldn’t get tested at the time. I hadn’t suffered badly with asthma for many years previous to this.

Severe asthma
Now I just have bloods form from consultants to check eosinophils etc and in the clinical details is ‘
severe
asthma
’ ?? To be honest either way, it’s crazy, but sometimes it’s helpful to know your actual diagnosis isn’t it! Hmmm..???

Asthma may heighten flu risk and cause dangerous mutations.
Taken together, these data suggest that at least a subset of patients with
asthma
may be more susceptible to
severe
influenza and may be a possible source of new influenza virus variants. https://elifesciences.org/articles/61803

Bit of an update and a query
Hi all, hope you’re doing good. So I went to back to the GP after a week of prednisolone, peak flow diary and ventolin and he thinks from the steroids and ventolin helping me and the ups/downs of the peak flow that I may benefit from a preventer inhaler and to see an asthma nurse. He said I will need

Worsening asthma during peri menopause/menopause?
Has anyone’s asthma gotten worse during their peri menopause. I have had asthma since my mid 30’s and had very little problem managing it up until recently. I don’t have any coughing or wheezing, just a tightness under my chest and then shortness of breath. It gets a little better when I stand up.

Am I being unreasonable re pet "allergies"?
I have
severe
brittle
asthma
with a few classic allergic triggers (pollen, dust, animals) but have always lived with a dog and most of the time my asthma is fine.

Does anyone know if there is a proven link between asthma inhalers and skin thinning/purpura/skin fragility/bruises, especially on forearms and lower legs?

No cough, no wheeze asthma
Is there anyone out there who is not coughing and wheezing with asthma? I never have, but breathing is difficult. Had my heart checked and bloods done, so it must be my asthma making me breathless....not getting anywhere with docs though as I "don't wheeze enough". Not sure what to do now as meds don't
