question about biphosphonates
when my mother takes her biphosphonate medication it makes her really unwell. She has been advised she needs to take this medication as the prednisolone increases her risk of osteoporosis, even more important for her as she had major spinal surgery last year. Please can you advise if you are aware

My own experiences, treatment regime and results (this is a long one)
Having had virtually all the symptoms for APS and with nightly injections of Heparin relieving the symptoms you would have thought that I would have been diagnosed with APS by the experts! But no. My anti-cardiolipin test came back at 35 which is 31 over the limit for a positive, however because this

The effect of cannabis on the lungs - share your experience
Many people don’t realise the effects smoking cannabis can have on your lung health. A report by the British Lung Foundation (BLF) found that just three cannabis cigarettes can cause the same damage as 20 tobacco cigarettes as the tar from cannabis cigarettes contain 50% more cancer causing carcinogens

Reducing Ventolin after a cold
My 3 year old twins both have asthma and we have been told when they have coughs / colds to use 4 hourly ventolin, 4 puffs. This seems to work really well for them, and has so far resulted in reduced chest infections and better control of their asthma. The problem is i'm not entirely sure when to reduce

Cough, Cough, Cough
My daughter was diagnosed with Asthma around 2 years ago, however her symptons are coughing and not wheezing. Her Asthma is worse in winter as her trigger is having a cold, the problem is she seems to get more colds than most! During January/February we had around 5 weeks of colds, one after the other

Asthma & Colds
Hi all, I'm looking for some help. My 3yr old son has Asthma and every time he gets a cold his coughing at night is out of control. Is there anything he could take to control or ease the coughing? His ventolin isn't helping any. Thanks Stephanie

Colds
Hi all fairly new to this I was diagnosed in September following a severe attack. since then whenever I get a cold my symptoms flare up terribly and I experience wheezing, coughing etc and I don't seem to be able to get through the cold without at least 1 course of steroids. Do others get like this?

Common Cold
Hi all Has anybody got any suggestions on what they do to deal with the common colds as I am trying to find alternatives to paracetomol and decongestants which I think might be giving me a problem during the cold/sinus infection that I am just getting over. I visited the doctor who gave me amoxcillin

Just started with a cold and my pf has dropped to 70%, is that normal or suggestive of an impending chest infection. I have a silly tickly cough but don't feel too tight or SOB.
