cough cough
Just wrote a huge post and it disappeared. Grrr! Anyway my eldest is almost 6. He has cough variant asthma and has used clenil and ventolin since he was 18 months. These work well and the huge majority of the time he's controlled. Apart from two, sometimes three, times a year (usually when the seasons

Did your health deteriarate all at once?
I was diagnosed with COPD about 5 years ago. I've been on the usual various medications over the years but managed to keep working doing medium/heavy manual work including snow shifting on the shovel until last winter when I really struggled. My health and ability to do strenuous work seemed to deteriorate

Preventer inhaler and peak flow meter
Hi again guys My nurse just prescribed me a preventer inhaler to use as well as a peak flow meter. I know how to use both of them but I was wondering if it mattered whether you take your preventer inhaler before/after doing your peak flow or does it not matter? (I completely forgot to ask the lovely

struggling at the moment and fed up!
Am definitely needing a bit of sympathy at the moment. I am on my 4th attack needing steroids since the beginning of January and feeling rubbish. I had one about 10 days ago and only just managed to avoid going to A&E. My peak flow went down to 180 (cut off point on my plan is 170 - personal best

I've been diagnosed severely asthmatic by my cons and I'm having a difficult time at the moment. around 3 weeks ago, I picked up the flu, I don't get the jab as its the only the second time I've ever had it in 19 years. the first time I had it, I was really unwell

Clenil modulite makes me cough
Hi Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but since clenil is often used to treat cough an internet serach for this is not very easy! I'm in the process of being diagnosed with asthma. I've been prescribed clenil, which I've been taking for the past 5 days. It seems to be helping

asthma cough
Just wanted a few peoples opinions on this really after having a discussion with a friend. How does everyones asthma cough present and how does it differ from a normal cough? Aside from when I have a chest infection, when I have an asthma related cough, it is generally a dry cough which tickles inside

A definitive answer
There is constant mention of peak flow in COPD diagnosis or treatment can we have a definitive answer as my respiratory nurse tells me they are for Asthma only.

Breathless and tight-chested all the time- but told it wasn't my asthma!
Hey, I'm seventeen, and I was diagnosed with asthma nearly ten years ago- so I've been living with it for half my lifetime. My asthma's been acting up badly recently, and I'm almost constantly breathless, feel like there's a weight on my chest, and sometimes get really bad pain. As a result, I can no

low peak flow -lung reversibility?
Hello, My peak flow has been decreasing over the years and sadly for the past year it has not gone over 260 mark. My personal best is (or was?) 450, but if I have not achieved it for well over 18 months is it fair to say that my lungs are deteriorating? in a way it feels quite depressing. thanks.

Lung Trainer
I have recently purchased a Powerbreathe Wellness that I hope will improve my breathing muscles training them for improved breathing with a reduction in respiratory muscle fatigue. It is still on the lowest settings which makes any judgement of improvement in how my Asthma is being controlled a difficult

Yay! turns out i'm not crazy!
Had my lung function test today, I was a little worried that while i'm on pred, and so many other meds and was actually feeling pretty good (chest clear as you would expect for lungs which know they're going to see a doctor) i might not show much reversibility at all. so i was pretty reluctant and part

Peak Flow Readings
I was diagnosed 13 months ago with Emphysema. It was only up till last week that I was placed under the watchful eye of a COPD nurse at my GPs practice. Because it was a 12 monthly review she performed all the relevent tests to see how my condition had been. What she did ask me was did I have a Peak

Peak flow rising and symptoms increasing/more noticeable?
Any thoughts? After nearly 4 weeks on 40mg pred and several weeks where I struggled to blow a peak flow above 400, even my lowest of three peak flows is consistently above 400. This has been going on for about a week. But strangely as my peak flow has improved, I've also started having more easily recognizable

What strong painkillers can I take?
I was going to phone the asthma nurse - but the helpline isn't open until tomorrow. I have fairly mild asthma, mostly well controlled. I've developed a cold overnight and my peak flow is down today. I'm not coughing which is my usual symptom but my chest feels a little tight. I'm using Salbutamol regularly
