Hi folks. So, having been weaned off prednisolone and put onto 20mg hydrocortisone, I have a short synacthen blood test scheduled for 20th July to check adrenal function. I have been told by endo that i need to stop all steroids (except hydrocortisone) for 1 week prior to the test. So I will be unable

I’ve just received an nhs emergency identity card through the mail that states that I’m steroid dependent
This has not been discussed with me and I’m quite shocked to realise this (perhaps I’m being naive and it should have been obvious with the amount of inhalers I’m on …..sirdupla, spiriva respimat and regular courses of prednisolone I have.) it states on the card I’m at risk of adrenal crisis. None of

Do any of you suffer from muscle twitching / shakes
Hello, I've suffered from what I suspect is chronic bronchitis for about 9 years now. I first started showing symptoms when I was only 22, and now, at 31, things are getting considerably worse. I have to take regular medication, and use a device to help clear mucus off my chest. I first started noticing

I observe all the 'helps' and guidance from my Lung Specialist for brochiectasis, Lung Fibrosis & Sarcoidosis. He suggested two puffs of my Atrovent inhaler 15 minutes before my two postural lung drainage sessions. I find that the inhaler traps mucus whereas without the inhaler I get a lot out.

So frustrated
I have just spoken to asthma nurse uk as I am quite new to asthma and needed advice on experiencing difficulty breathing, yawning sighing and burping after preventer inhaler. I tried budesonide, beclometasone and even oral steroid and they all make my breathing so difficult that I need to stop. When

Self management with COPD and inhalers.
Since retiring from work I have changed the routine of taking my inhalers which has had a marked improvement with being excessively breathless. Like many others I used to be so much worse in the afternoons. When working it was a relief to finish and get home. I used to take the reliever, Bricanyl, at

Fostair 200/6 Is it normal to develop headaches and it trigger migraines? Any advice on alternatives?
Hi. I started fostair 200/6 about 6 weeks ago after becoming unsettled on fostair 100/6. I had no problems with 100/6-no side effects and found it settled my asthma quite well for a while. However, during 6 weeks I have had the 200/6 I have had 5 focal migraines with no obvious trigger (This amount is

Even though I do over 2 hours lung drainage every day (1 hour morning , 15 mins afternoon, then another hour evening) I still get a tickling sensation and mucus left in the lungs - particularly the left lung which is the worst one. It means I am grunting for much of the day. Annoying for me and my

Anyone on “Duaklir Genuair”? Some of the side effects seem worse than the reason why I’m on it?

Symbicort 400, Warfarin, Lung function test query
I was diagnosed with multiple bilateral pulmonary embolism last Nov. Feeling OK but not as energetic as I used to be. I undertook a lung function test a couple of months ago and got the results when I went to see specialist on Wednesday. He told me he'd put me on Symbicort 400 inhaler as my airways are

Newly diagnosed - my story
Hi, I'm now 48 and recently diagnosed with COPD I'd been unwell in December 2019 with flu like symptoms, once a little better I had a continuous cough but left it until March 2020 when I thought I best speak with a Doctor. I was given inhalers for asthma and over the months these were up'd to the highest

Managing trial seasonal reduction of inhaler
Good morning! Summers, for me, are such a relief compared to wintertime. I don’t do well with the cold (and damp?) weather. Thus I have agreed with a GP that it would be good to reduce my inhaler now it is warm again. He suggested it after a lung function test which he interpreted as me having mild asthma
