Couch to 5K, anyone?
I have mild chronic asthma and hay fever. I’m 68 and overweight. I’ve just signed up to Couch to 5K and did my first ‘run’ yesterday. It was hard and I cheated a bit at the end. Am I a fool to give this a go in my state of health? Anyone else with asthma done this?

Diet with a colostomy
Hi everybody I was interested to see if anybody had any idea of how to eat a controlled diet with a stoma. [Edited by moderator] Greens I’m unable to eat with my stoma but I’m thinking maybe I could make a smoothie of some sort to help? Does anybody have any other advice of what I may be able to eat

Too little sleep can mean more asthma attacks in adults.
A good night’s sleep is crucial to good health. A new article in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) reveals that too little sleep, and occasionally too much sleep, can negatively impact adults with asthma.

Possible Stoma - help!
Hi everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying this amazing weather. I was diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer at the end of Feb and, after having three chemos, my CA125 is 22 and I am scheduled for an op in around two weeks. However, despite being told that my response to chemo is very good

Worries with corona and asthma!
Hello! I am hoping to get some advice. I am 25 years old and I would rate my asthma as being mild, I never really use my blue inhaler. When I was younger my asthma was much worse as I did not keep on top of taking my preventer, I would suffer with chest infections and general breathlessness. Now however

Children with asthma
My 11 year old son has quite
severe
asthma
, should I keep him home anyway, is he considered one of the vulnerable groups, nothing really being said about children. Thank you so much for your help.

I have
severe
eosinophilic
asthma
and have now been asked to give myself the injection at home but I am needle phobic. I am absolutely freaking out, as I am due to have my injection in 2 days but due to the CV19 they want me to give this to myself at home.

Asthma and the Pill
Since starting the combined pill a couple of months ago I've seen major improvements in my
asthma
control, with fewer flares that are less
severe
when they do happen. (It's also been really great for my skin and my mood and several other things, which are added bonuses!)
