Please tell me I am not alone!
I gave up and took my
symbicort
inhaler and it did give me some relief (but not a lot). Spent the next few hours with lots of pillows behind me and eventually got to sleep some 4 hours later.

AHHHHHHH! BEWARE RANT COMING!
that we should get rid of everything I was taking before apart from the
Symbicort
. So no more singular and ventolin. Apparently there is a new ""Smart"" way of treating asthma using just
Symbicort

cleaning chemicals and asthma
I m rubbish at the moment as a result of it and my asthma has been getting progressively worse now on
symbicort
, singular and ventolin. I am frustrated as having to put up with the constant arguments at home and always having to appease everyone and then as a result have stripy lungs.

Car accident and unhappy asthma
I normally take
symbicort
200/6 at 2 puffs twice a day. Would it be worth putting it up to 3 or 4 puffs? If i was at home, i'd see my gp plus i've never been in this situation before. Any advice would be great Thanks, Christine

Asking to change inhalers
I am going to ask to try
Symbicort
probably but also might ask about Fostair. I feel a bit nervous about asking because he's never suggested it although I've been seeing him regularly for a few months because things are not very well controlled at the moment, and neither have any of my GP's.

Question about running/exercise
I should probably ask my GP this but really don't want to bother them yet again... so, I wondered what other people do about exercising at a moderate intensity (running/jogging) whilst they are taking quite a lot of medication (I'm on
Symbicort
, Montelukast, and Pred 20mg short course).

Feeling rubbish!
I've been on
symbicort
for a few months now - limited to 12 times a day including morning and evening compulsory doses. Unlucky for me, have had bad cold over the weekend and still got it now, which has given me a nice dosing of bad asthma after so many months with bare minimum of problems.

Hello all **Newbie alert**
I've been prescribed a
Symbicort
Turbohaler and a Bricanyl Turbohaler. Until recently the
Symbicort
seemed to be helping, and then I caught a cold. That was two weeks ago and I still can't shift the cough. Has anyone got any tips or advice that could help?

Beclometasone and Pain
Since February this year, I have been experiencing on and off breathlessness and was on Salbutamol (reliever) and have tried
Symbicort
(preventer). I have tried used Beclometasone 3 times now and every I time I use it for over a week, I suffer anxiety, shaking and general restlessness.

When to go to hospital?
I am currently on
Symbicort
400 twice daily, Montelukast, Salbutamol and also a current rescue course of 20mg pred - given by the consultant at my last appointment. The pred has always sorted me out in the past at least for a while, but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

asthma-friendlyness in chester and coventry
should I be prepared to take all the possible asthma medicines with me, or can I plan to buy some of them (
symbicort
, prednisolon..) there during the year - that is, how easy it is for a student to get in contact with a good asthma doctor? Thanks for any information! -Niccia

asthma action plans
- If you're on max of e.g.
symbicort
is there anything you do else as a first step, not being able to double preventer? (other than just using more ventolin). - do you have guidelines on how long to take pred for, and when to do something if it isnt working?
