chest infections, whats 'normal'?
My 7yod was diagnosed with asthma autumn last year. I'd taken her to the docs with yet another chest infection and explained that I wasn't happy for her to keep taking antibitics without knowing why she was getting so many URT infections. A peak flow diary was kept and seasonal asthma was the diagnosis

No one else in the family has it and its been a real steep learning curve. Aswell as asthma he has hayfever( which i think

Fabry disease
My daughter was diagnosed just before christmas with fabry disease. We are waiting for my son to be tested too. Apparently it may explain why he has such difficult to control asthma and certainly my daughters asthma seems to be headed the same way. In the last couple of months she's had a spate of

salmeterol
My 5 year old has mild Asthma, only had one bad attack. He is normally fine on a day to day basis, but now and again his asthma can flair up for what ever unknown reason. He has been on steroid inhaler for almost 3 months (since the bad attack) but is now having his first asthma symptoms since starting

Trying to cope with pre-teen brittle Athmatic....
Hi all, My daughter is 11. She was diagnosed with asthma aged 6, when shortly after diagnosis ended up in High dependency whilst we were on a skiing holiday in Italy. A few flare-up later, and she was completely over it. until last December, when she ended up in hospital for a few days with Pneumonia

To puff or not to puff, that is the question!!
My son finished a course of Pred 10 days ago and has now developed a cold that has put him on another 3 day course. After talking to the doctor, I was told that he should only take the Ventolin every 4 hours. The trouble is that he coughs so much that he gasps for air. This means that he has been

Help - I am struggling with this thing called 'Asthma'
Last year November ('09), I had the flu jab at work. A week later I had the flu which lasted about 7 weeks after 3 courses of antibiotics. January '10 I returned back to the gym, but was always out of breath with this funny crackling sound on my chest. I went back to the Dr in February '10. He diagnosed

Peak flow readings
What is a peak flow reading? Do you have to have a more severe form of asthma to need this? Mine asthma fortunately seems to be quite mild compared to most of the folk on this forum. I feel a bit of a fraud on here.

Seretide
Put on seretide for two week trial as peak flow readings low on Clenil modulite. The peak flow graph is going up and down like a yo-yo in just 10 days. Can go from 300 down to 150 in one day. Only constant was one and a half days at 240. I've only actually needed Ventolin for breathlessness on one
