When did doing the hoovering become so difficult?
I've just spent the past 20 minutes hoovering the upstairs of the house and I am now KNACKERED and have needed an extra puff of the
Symbicort
to sort me out (5th extra puff of the day on top of the 3 regular ones I would've taken by now). I still have the downstairs and the stairs to do.

Breathing problems
My asthma is being really bad at the moment as i am struggling to breath most days, i get out of breath when walking and doing stairs, my medications just don't seem to be taking effect and i am not responding to them. i was on the highest dose of
symbicort
and seretide and they didn't work.

Chest pain while breathing in
I use
symbicort
regularly, (and the doctor tells me to increase the dose when needed, like when i get sick, or during allergy season), but I haven't felt like it is necessary to increase the dose since i'm perfectly capable of breathing, it's just that it hurts. Sincerely, Caroline

Thinking that my asthma will never be fully controlled..
It has gradually been getting worse since I started University 2 years ago and currently I take
Symbicort
(the SMART system) and Singulair tablets in the evening. I have just come off a 5 day treatment of 30mg of oral steroids (Presidolone??

Summer greetings (from Italy)
However, every time I stepped outside the building I had to take double reliever right away, and keep taking the doses often (of course I already had doubled my
Symbicort
).

Should I be worried about my PF?
I was on
Symbicort
, but over one year ago after I did spirometry the consultant I saw took me off the
Symbicort
. When I was taking
Symbicort
my PF was around 500. Now without a preventer it is around 400-450. The thing is, I generally feel fine at that level.

Relievers?
He agreed going back on atrovent would be a good step but also as a reliever this means that now when i have an attack or just feel symptomatic im supposedly to take:
Symbicort
400/12 x4, salbutobol x 4 and 2 puffs of atrovent and this can be done up to 6 times a day.

why is it, when you lay down, you start coughing?
As part of my night routine i take my medicines, inhaler (
Symbicort
400/12), Cetirizine 10mg and Singulair 10mg. (I call this my supper). The Cetirizine makes me drowsy so this is why i take it at night. Is there something else i can do or try? Does anyone have any ideas?

Alternative to singulair for night time symptoms
Since Jan thought had cracked it, when I started on Singulair 10mgs daily,
Symbicort
400-2 puffs twice a day, about to reduce to one puff, and Ventolin as needed, also Avamys nasal spray each morning, as respiratory consultant seems to think my asthma seems to be triggered by amongst other things post

All these foreign medicines
I went into the clinic with dodgy lungs and sinuses earlier this week and got prescribed new medication (the doc said something about being newer, better and less fattening XD) Two most people already know -

Stopped meds
I usually take
symbicort
200/6 twice a day and salbutamol as and when. Should I be feeling crap with not having any meds and know I am probably pushing my luck but makes me wonder if I've gone this long do I really need the meds? Just wondered what people thought Smithy

newbie
I am currently taking
symbicort
, ventolin as and when ( a lot at the moment!), montekulast, loratidine and mucodyne. Still feeling tight and short of breath so trying to take it easy. It's nice to be able to write this down knowing that you will all understand what I am going through!
