Any advice welcome
I’ve been diagnosed with adult onset asthma a four years ago. I’m 54. Diagnosed after a respiratory tract infection- no spiromtry or other tests I’ve read about on here. For the first couple of years I didn’t have symptoms most of the time- only when I had a cold. I could go without Clenil or Ventolin

I’m sick
My asthma is normally very well controlled and I usually only need to take about two puffs of Ventolin per week, plus my preventer. I’ve had two regular colds recently, both with a temperature and about two weeks apart. (And a runny nose, which for those who are wondering, is not a feature of the Coronavirus

Horse allergy and home situation
Hello, I am not very active on here, apologies...but I dip in and out from time to time.

Seretide and skin problem.
I took Seretide for about 20 years. During that period I developed a skin problem where the skin particularly on my hands became very dry and flaky to the extent that layers of skin would fall away and they would bleed when gripping things even fairly tightly. This could be painful. I was treated with

Increase in symptoms but peak flow normal?
Sorry for this long thread but I need some advice, I will also be sending a similar email to my specialist hoping she can help me out too. So at my last visit I was pursuaded to give fostair another go for my eosinophilic asthma as symbicort is not bringing the eosinophilic down enough. (Never got on

Reversibility and more
Hi again, My son had an outpatient appointment today and wondering if any of you can shed light on something. He had his lung function test and they re-did the reversibility test (he hasn't done one of those for a while just the normal lung function test). His initial lung function was 76% and went up

Living with mild asthma
I am very lucky having mild asthma since I had my first son developing asthma during pregnancy. I have symbicort turbohaler which I take 1puff twice a day, which increases up to 12 if I have a bad chest cough. I also have montelucast at night. So I feel really lucky, having seen really sick children

Chronic wheeze but no asthma?
Hi all, Aware this might not be strictly relevant to this forum but I’ve posted before and got some really helpful advice so I thought I’d give it a try - I wonder if anyone has had any similar experiences to mine below: - always had a reactive wheeze to dust. If I took an antihistamine the wheeze went

Fostair 200mcg inhaler
Does anyone else find that fostair 200 inhaler gets less effective when you’re down to last 15 doses? I’ve found I’ve had to use more ventolin at this point , was wondering if anyone else has this

Huge improvement
Have only posted here two - three times so far, but just wanted to update ye with my progress. Seen my specialist in November, not a very good meeting, but I persuaded him to change my inhalers. I was crying to him as I had no life, struggling every day . I was on stertide and spiriva for 2 to 3 years

From OK to CPR in 4 hours!
How this condition can change your lives so quickly without warning is one of the real worries. I had been at work all day and come home with my Sue being tired as we had been to hospital yesterday for a plurisy diagnosis. I nip out for a quick.pint with our son and come back and she is till talking

Extreme cold - face covering/steamed specs, inhalers not working
Has anybody found a way to do the scarf/snood thing without their glasses immediately steaming up? My OH, a biker, gets from his forums that the various spray-on-glasses demist products don't work and I have never managed to crack it. I had to give up trying to cover my face and was fine for the first

Ventolin Inhaler
I notice a lot of talk re ventolin inhaler. I have had a very bad chest infection christmas/new year, which seems to be coming back again. I have COPD/asthma. My GP asked me not to use Ventolin as much as it is bad for your heart, I took this up with the COPD nurse who knew nothing about it, and told

An old question re ventolin
I know this has been asked before, but I am far from clear. I rarely use my Ventolin except when ill, as it generally doesn’t occur to me, even when a good idea. Just this season I should be, and should have been, using it far more often as I have a significant issue with walking outside. But I haven
