I don't want asthma to define me!
Hi, I'm Sharnee 22 and a sufferer of chronic asthma as you all must know winter is HORRIBLE. I constantly have to battle loving Christmas and it's festivities but hating the weather it brings with it. I have always made sure to keep my asthma quiet because of the fear I will get the comment "I have

Asthma history last couple of months
I been thinking about my asthma symptoms for the last couple of months in preparation for my asthma review on Wednesday. I would have said my asthma symptoms were mild for over ten years and two weeks ago was my first asthma attack. Now I long back on the last couple of months I having been getting

Home, but it's hard..
After 11 days in the hospital, with 2 life-threatening attacks and an allergic reaction in that time, I was discharged yesterday. I'm glad to be home, of course I am..but things really aren't as good as they should be. In the hospital, once I was out of Resus, I was on 4-hourly Ventolin nebs, and 6-

Taking prednisolone
I have had two lots of this steriod after my asthma attack. What side effects have people notice when taking this? This drug has really mess up my sleep and I haven't had a good nights sleep for a week. The other side effect I have experience is that it has sent my blood sugar very high. I only found

Asthma?
This whole thing started with a coughing fit that was like walking pneumonia, got on antibiotics and it went away a while. Then I started having nightly coughing fits, had a spirometer test and allergy. After spirometry the pulmonologist put me on ProAir and Symbicort. I got off them once I started feeling

I think I shold change my GP?
I had bronchitis in August and aggravated asthma and after the first course of antibiotics was sent for xray and blood tests and given a second course. Was told at the hospital it would be ten days for results. Inbetween time my condition worserned resulting in a trip to A&E. The staff there were excellent

Antibiotics for copd
Hi all fellow sufferers. I have just been diagnosed after having a terrible winter last winter after having chest infections which seem to last all winter. Even though I had a history of Bronchitus from a child my Health Centre let me down badly as I was just sent away being told it was a bad winter

Hi from the hospital!
Back in, lucky escape from ICU this time :/ I was on the wrong dose of my combination inhaler anyway, so I'd been feeling off for a few weeks. Suddenly I woke up at about 2:00am on Monday morning with severe shortness of breath which soon, despite my best efforts with my relievers, turned into a complete

Confused about action plan
I've recently been given an asthma action plan, which when the gp gave it to me, made sense, but now I'm unsure. So it says: if use reliever more than 4 times a week, symptoms return or peak flow goes below 450 (best 570), to increase seretide to 4 puffs twice a day and ventolin up to 2 puffs every 4

Generic Montelukast
Does anyone find cheaper generic versions of Montelukast affect their asthma control? My pharmacy supply different types of this drug on a regular basis. I now have what looks like a really cheap version of it (even if it should meet product licence) For a while now my asthma control has been below

How many inhalers do you get per prescription
I ask out of sheer interest. I used to get three X ventolin on each prescription when I was younger and then it was reduced to 1 with no reasoning given to me At £8.40 per prescription once per month for a blue and a brown inhaler the cost of being asthmatic is quite a lot...I've had £30+ prescriptions

Long winded. :(
Hya guys, Hit a bit of a lull, my dad has been using the bicap machine for a while now but recently been asking if he can leave it off (even though he knows how important it is for him) he needs it on a minimum of 6 hours and it's a push to try and keep him on it for that long. He's saying that he can't

Weird triggers, or not-so-weird?
I have asthma (uhh, like that isn't obvious) although not sure what severity; I take Montelukast 10mg every day, Fostair 3 puffs twice a day (yeah, I need to go back to the nurse), Ventolin as needed or regularly depending how I am, and Atrovent 20mcg before ice hockey or with my Fostair when I'm yellow-zoning
