ACOS and mart regime
Hi all. I have asthma and copd. For a while now I have been on Fostair 100/6. It's ok but doesn't seem to last the full 12 hours and sometimes I notice a definite dip in my breathing just after taking it. I asked if I could just take ventolin in between doses which I could fit in with my exercises as

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
I've been reading the National Review of Asthma Deaths after the news last week on the increase in asthma deaths. I was diagnosed with asthma in January this year (54 with no history of asthma), after a hospital stay I'm managing very well on anti-histamines (over the counter) and Relvar Elipta 92/22

There’s an interesting (Phd Qualified) Health Educator who some of you may already have come across on YouTube, called Chris Masterjohn. My Wife’s a Chemist (not Pharmacist) and runs several Testing Labs in the UK. She seems to have a fairly positive view of the guy which adds to my confidence in mentioning

Post surgery .........update
Well 28 months after my initial diagnosis, 26 months after my stoma creation for a bowel perforation and 2 years since my tah , I had surgery to reverse my stoma as it was constantly blocking due to a hernia. I’ve had 6 days in hospital after the surgery and I can’t say it was pleasant. I thought this

What are your coping strategies when your asthma is pretty bad and when you know you're going to have to live with it for the rest of your life ?

How long does a flare last ?
Hi! I would like to know how long an asthma flare up is supposed to last especially one that is caused by a viral infection (flu) ? And what drugs do you usually use to treat it ? I read that there was a difference between a flare up and uncontrolled asthma. How can we know if symptoms are caused by

Asthma deaths in England and Wales 'highest in a decade' BBC article
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-49277813 What the article ignores is that a lot of suggestions made by the asthma death panel have been ignored (some which are really easy/simple), and it glosses over that 2/3 deaths are preventable if proper care was carried out. Yes pollution has made asthma worse

Feeling a bit rubbish
Today I had an appointment with my asthma nurse. I’ve already had a few appointments with her this year due to inhalers changing etc but today was for a check up because I’ve been trying to stop a flare from flaring (if that makes sense?) Anyway, I have a great relationship with my asthma nurse (she

Help! Kenalog vs Omalizumab
So after years of fighting; you’ve got asthma, you’ve not got asthma. Flare ups where needing steroids every 10 weeks. We finally had a plan, go to nhs England for Omalizumab if funding not granted go with Kenalog (steroid injection). Now I’ve been told, to get Omalizumab I need to lose 9kg before

How fast can an attack come and go?
Hi, I’m newly diagnosed with asthma; less than three weeks. I take Seretide 500 and Ventolin accuhalers. Manifestations of my asthma so far have been very textbook: coughing, tightness, shortness of breath, and whistly wheezing. A couple of days ago I was spraying bug-spray, something I’ve done thousands

Asthma!
Hi all, I'm currently on week 6 run 3, now I'm into the longer runs my asthma is becoming an issue, literally stopping to catch my breath and stabilise my breathing every 1km or so, just wondered if anyone else has similar issues, I use a purple FOSTAIR steroid inhaler

Confused re using blue inhaler
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma around 2 years ago and have yet to get it fully under control. I was started on Fostair 100/6 but this was increased around a month ago by the GP to Fostair 200/6. To be honest, I've kind of been muddling through on my own as I haven't really been

What could be the reason for steroids not working ?
This is all new to me as I never had to deal with
severe
persistent
asthma
. Compared to now, I used to live like someone that didn't have asthma and never needed any medication!
