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

Clenil replaced with Symbicort lower dose
Hi Just after a bit of advice. I’ve been on Clenil (200x4) since September last year with Ventolin. My initial asthma symptoms came out of a chest infection. I’ve just caught another chest infection so went to doctor to ask about management. I’d been taking way too much Ventolin and hadn’t found Clenil

Colomycin side effects?
Wondering if anyone else has these symptoms? Have been nebulising colomycin for almost 3 months, however 2 months in I started getting more phlegm on my lungs especially later in the day and coughing more. I’ve also noticed tighter lungs around mid afternoon so am using ventolin more. If I stop the colomycin

Prednisolone
Is anyone taking this medication continuously , they only give it to me for 5 days at a time , I think it helps , But when I,m off it I get worse again , I have mild to moderate copd. They changed my inhaler too today from ventolin to Atrovent and I take Anoro in the morning , Is Anoro any better

Nebulisers
I started with my home nebulisers yesterday, budesonide and ventolin nebules. Since starting I have felt quite nauseous is this normal. My consultant decided to cut short my 6 week preds course as they weren’t helping, so I’m pleased to be off those but now just feel really sick.

Prescriptions & charges
Hi All I have mild COPD (coupled with adult onset asthma) and am on Clenil 100 brown inhalers 2 puffs, morning and night and ventolin before I run. All these cost a considerable amount of money when you add it all up. I heard recently that Chronic illnesses such as this should get free prescriptions,

Ventolin inhaler
I suffer terrible muscle cramps on this inhaler. Anyone else find the same and if so have you found an alternative?

Confused
I’m currently not well but really not sure what’s going on. Blocked nose but no temperature so thought it was just a cold.Mon/Tues breathing was fast and shallow, some chest tightness but this went with ventolin. PF was 360 (best 460 but normal is more like 420; that was a one off at GP’s). Weds went
