What to say to kids when they see you flare
Two puffs of
ventolin
calmed it but after I was back to breathing like a normal human being, the oldest told me that it was really scary seeing me struggle. It upset me to see him worried for me. I told him that it was a lot scarier on the outside than it felt on the inside.

Week 4 Run 2 plus extra characters - who did the feedback on this?
I'm thinking I might repeat W4 - doing it on 3 doses of
ventolin
seems a bit like doing it on crutches. Aaargh, they've 'improved' the site. That'll probably go like most improvements then.

Mold and damp
I am on the symbicort inhaler three times a day and
ventolin
when required and am at the moment on weekly reviews with the asthma nurse and waiting referral to the chest clinic. I think this is a bit of a vent at feeling so much like a lab rat!!!

Can asthmatics who have neither smoked nor been passive smokers contract COPD?
I have been coping with asthma since childhood using epinephrine and
ventolin
tablets. Turning 60 years,
ventolin
and steroid inhalers as well as prednisolone tablets are not giving me long term relief. Yesterday I was put on SPIRIVA, implicating COPD?

My chest has been feeling a little bit tight/heavy most of the day so have been taking
ventolin
to ease it, but thought I was ok really breathing wise until I got home from work and looked in the mirror and saw that I was using accessory muscles and sucking in at neck/shoulders.

And I didn't need
ventolin
during the run at all - that's a very real hurdle got over, even if it is mostly psychological. Actually I think I was too occupied thinking my legs were going to stop working to think about my inhaler. This is progress.

Are you an Asthmatic runner? Post your tips here to help others please
Doctor's instructions for me is take two puffs of my
Ventolin
before I go for a run, also to carry it with me. Common sense perhaps but its not a bad thing to be reminded to carry it. 2.

Ventolin/salbutamol reliever nearly expired
The ""new"" (i.e. unused) inhaler is the same kind (blue
Ventolin
Evohaler of 100 micrograms salbutamol sulphate) was prescribed in December 2011 and is stamped to expire in June 2013. Is it still OK to use? When they expire do they just lose their effectiveness or are they actually harmful?

Update - having hard time with taper, doctors
I then project the ""what if"" anxiety back onto the ever falling peak flow and see in it something worrisome rather than simply a problem to be solved with
ventolin
.

It has all come at once!
Well 8 months ago I didn't even take a paracetamol unless I was in absolute agony, now I am on seretide, spiriva,
ventolin
, low dose aspirin, cholesterol tablets and champix! What a difference in such a short space of time.

I am so scared that this is it
As well as her four prescribed nebulisers a day, of
ventolin
and respontin, she has been having extra
ventolin
nebs. The matron, who came on Friday, said the extra
ventolin
was fine and as she was wheezy upped her steroids to 30mg.

Odd episode
After a while I relaxed enough to be able to speak but I hadn't had any
ventolin
because I thought I was just upset. After a little while my chest still felt tight, so I had a couple of puffs of
ventolin
and it eased off a bit.

My mum, a quick update
Called GP out, no infection but 'tight and wheezy', she is already on 30mg of prednisolone, so can't really increase them, but she said to use
ventolin
nebuliser as and when needed. She asked my mum if she wanted to go to hospital, and she didn't want to, which I completely understand and accept.

Feeling down and a little lost...
Medications I take for the asthma include -
ventolin
, montelukast, uniphyllin, spiriva, omeprazole (for reflux) and long-term pred. I'm just feeling like the asthma is so uncontrolled but I have no idea if there is anything else the GP can be giving me?

A eureka moment
We have been made aware that her next infection could be her last :-( She has home and ambulatory oxygen, and a nebuliser, four times a day, contains
ventolin
and respontin.

Dare I say, I felt a bit less anxious today. (It's another long 'un.)
The nurse said something was 67, so I was mild, but, I noticed that this was after she had me use the
ventolin
. She said 80 was what she would have expected. My oxygen was 100%. My Dr said It was fairly mild. I think he was trying to make me calm down.

My ongoing infection.
He has put me on Seretide 500 to accompany my Spiriva and
Ventolin
. Sent me for a chest X-ray, which he doesn't think will show anything sinister as I had one 6 months ago, but WILL show if I still have a sign of infection and whether this exacerbation has caused more permanent damage.
