Getting a diagnosis

Peak-Flow Diary Site
Has anyone used this site before? I've been using it whilst I record 4wks worth of PF - due to detriation of my symptons. Just not sure if it's just me not figuring it out, or if it's just confusing.

I know its a bit of an impossible question, its just its become very apparent that my biggest triggers are colds and viruses. My asthma is reasonably well controlled, but the minute I have a cold or virus my asthma spirals downhill, my peak flow drops, I wake at night, have symptoms most of the day and

Rant-Very Frustrated-When to end Taper?
So I've been trying (#4) to taper the prednisone. At the beginning of the month after I got out of the hospital I felt really good by any measure: peak flow, energy level, cough gone, etc. etc. but by day six things started going backwards and with some minor noise have gone down down down. I'm now

Brittle type 2 - is this a life sentence??
Well as it says really. After months of being up and down, seeming to get under some sort of control (albeit on silly amounts of medication) then everything falling apart in no time at all - sometimes minutes - I've been told my asthma is brittle, and while it doesn't 100% fit the type 2 classification

what device can measure lung function for COPD alone?
as some one to new to this situation, when I was given a "peak flow" meter by my GP, I assumed that it was for measuring how I was doing with my COPD.
