Scary Frog
Having had COPD for the last 13/14 years I really thought I had dealt with most situations. So tonight I'm just sitting in my usual spot watching tv breathing as usual for me. Suddenly a nasty frog jumped into my windpipe and tried to choke me. No warning. In fact I've been feeling pretty good for the

New to site
I am new here and have recently been diagnosed with a 'moderate restrictive ventilatory defect' after having lung function tests. My GP referred me to an outpatient lung clinic and I just got a letter saying the wait time is up to 12 months. I am due to see my GP in the next week, but my question is

Was this a sudden asthma attack?
I wonder if I had a sudden, out of the blue asthma attack this evening? Does it sound like it? And if it was should I see someone later, though it all got better fairly straightforwardly and quickly? Normally I only have bad flares with colds etc, and then it slides into it over a day or a few days.

Concerned if Getting Right Treatment
Hi Everyone, I hope you can help... A month ago my blood tests came back as being low in Vitamin D, B12 (borderline low but out of range) and low folate. My liver results were also all over the place but I have Hemochromatosis (Iron overload) so it's difficult to know what's causing what. Hopefully

Trimbow
Has anybody experience of Trimbow which my Copd nurse has given me in place of Fostair and Spiriva which no longer seem to help. I’m starting this new medication tomorrow. I’m having to use my Ventolin 10-12 times a day so I’m hoping Trimbow will suit me. Dorothy

What should i ask my asthma nurse tomorrow?
Hi all. Sorry a slightly long post to follow. For those who haven't seen previous posts i had an asthma flare up in mid December. No cold or flu symptoms. Just shortness of breath constantly with little relief from ventolin. I've had asthma since birth but had no major flare ups since i was a child.

MY JOURNEY WITH COPD.
You CAN feel better with COPD. I suffered with Bronchitis from a very young age and over the years it got worse. The fact I smoked obviously made it worse but did I stop? No, of course not, I just had a weak chest. Fast forward to 2008 we were on a road trip in America with 4 friends and one by one

A great hospital experience (if such a thing exists 😅)
Hi everyone Having had some truely terrible hospital experiences (and posted them on here), I thought I’d post about my most recent trip, which was about 90% positive ☺️ I’d been twitchy since last Saturday (ended up not being able to get out of bed without needing to nebulise/ventolin) due to a 7hr

Anyone had their Clenil dose increased?
Hi! I currently take Clenil 100mcg 2 puffs twice a day, after being diagnosed with asthma. I came off it after hay fever season ended, and all was perfect until I came down with a cold 6/7 weeks later so was back on it and needed steroids... I now have another cold for the last week (perks of working

Advice/tips please!
After a battering from a virus, my asthma is playing up. From a normal pf of 580 it’s sitting at 377. (For four days). As per my plan I had already doubled up on my clenil and added ventolin too match as well as using ventolin in between as necessary. Today i rang the GP who immediately asked me to

New asthma nurse
Yesterday I had my asthma review at my doctors surgery. I was really happy to find out that it was a trained asthma nurse. I have had practice nurses before this in the last couple of years. I had a really good one two years ago but she left. So she asked how I have been, did my height and weight, checked

For @Katinka
So I had 2 sheets. He took that one, considering the fact that I was under inhalers and Prednisone when I did it. It was the VR/CPT that alerted him 41.65% The other thing which was interesting was the reversibility test when you take the 4 puffs of Ventolin and are tested 10mn afterwards, well all my

New inhaler dispenser. Bit annoyed.
I picked up two new cannisters of salbutamol, except the pharmacist gave me salamol easi-breathe instead of normal metered dose ventolin. I wouldn't mind except I didn't realise what it was until I got home. I'm no good at taking MDI without a spacer (always but especially in an attacj) or DPI. I've

Is there nothing my lungs won’t complain about?! 😒😅
Off for my AN appt at the hospital today. Finally got myself to a point where I think they’ll let me home again after, but a 10 o’clock appt meant catching the 7.30 bus and getting up 60-90 mins earlier than normal... get up and PF/meds then do normal daily routine... cough cough cough, squeeze squeeze
