How do I get my child to use her Peak Flow Meter?
My child needs to use her PFM but she won't use it consistently at school. Do any of you have that problem?

Running with chest infection/asthma
I'm very encouraged by posts on here re running with asthma. After several long running chest infections last year I got diagnosed with adult onset asthma. The chest infections meant I had long periods away from doing much running which was depressing. Having finally got to an NHS Respiratory Clinic

Recently Diagnosed with SLE and looking for help.
Hi I have just very recently been diagnosed with SLE. It has been a bit of lengthy process to get to this point after a few years of several doctor trips lol. I take hydroxychloroquine and they seem to be making really good improvements and my pain and joint stiffness are coming less frequent which

What do you do when you start getting a cold?
Just wondering what everyone else does when they start getting sick. I've woken up with sore throat, blocked nose, earache, temp and can definitely already feel my asthma starting to be affected. The thing is, there's nothing on my asthma plan to prevent things happening at this stage, it's all about

Abnormal chest tightness
I just wondered how other peoples chest tightness in relation to asthma manifests itself? I usually find that the front of my chest gets tight, as though someone is sat on my chest, but recently I've found that I'm getting tightness across the back too, almost like my back muscles are knotted and i

DIAGNOSIS????????????????
after quiting smoking I was given a spiro test by the practice nurse and was told that I had COPD, had the breathing capacity of a 92 year old woman and given a inhaler to use twice a day. ( I am 64 years) Full stop. Because there is no COPD NHS group where I live, I had no where to go with my questions

Not much change in peak flow during huge flare up - confused
I've been reading various bits and pieces of previous posts over the last while which mention this but I just wondered if as anyone in same position or can shed any light on this? . My peak flow readings vary very little despite major symptoms. I have almost always been 450 when well controlled and

That'll Teach Me! First Attack
Sorry to keep popping up, but it's such a relief to have somewhere to go to offload about all this. I say this is my first attack, but I suspect I've had attacks in the past and just not realised it was asthma. In all honesty I would probably have said I was coming down with a chest infection and just

Best time for taking Peak flow

I haven't properly done it for a few years, normally just

Broken rib tips?
Fell over, caught my rib cage on the corner of a bit of furniture, and I have a broken rib. I'm skinny enough that you can see that it's broken... :/ Day 3 today. Lots of swearing has happened! I haven't been to A&E as the treatment is just painkillers, mix of rest and movement. (I broke 3 in my 20s

More steroids and antibiotics
So today I have been back at doctors because I still feel rough. My manager told me to. I have had a bad cold which left me with a chest infection. I have had two lots of antibiotics and steroids. But still feel rough. My peak flow is still lower than it should be. My chest still hurts to breathe and
