I feel fantastic!!
Week 4 run 1 completed today. Absolutely gobsmacked that I managed it. Slowed my pace right down and tried to really focus on my breath throughout. Discovered that breaking the runs down into mini targets (eg run to the farm gate, now run to the brown car) made it feel more manageable and slightly less

Breathing suffering
Hi everyone, I haven’t posted here before. I’m 30, female, have asthma (usually mild) and suffering with breathing problems over the last few months to be honest. I was diagnosed in March this year with Pleurisy and really since then my breathing has been going downhill. I feel wheezy almost all

Feeling a bit down
I’m feeling a bit down and sorry for myself ...lol, do you ever have those days? I’m trying to fill out PIP form and you know when you’re writing your worst day scenario. Frustrated too cos I’m still struggling to breathe with the step up of my inhalers although my Peak flow is improving. I’m not bad

Feeling frustrated
Just wanting to air my frustration really. For background - I have asthma (since childhood) now with small airways disease (last year spirometry showed obstruction in small airways and CT scan showed mucus plugging). I had a nasty haemaphilus infection in March (I have a persistent productive cough

Inconsistant spirometry?
So I have been for my spirometry test but they refused to do reversibility as my results were to inconsistant. Apparently I couldn't empty my lungs enough and my results were variable. I was really struggling as I hadn't had my inhaler and the thunderstorms were triggering me. She acted really annoyed

Adrenal Insufficiency
Hi I have been into hospital for further blood tests to monitor adrenal function and my body is not making cortisol so sadly I need the hydrocortisone dose. I don’t know if this is the same for all in this situation. I may even need to have my doses increased. The steroid is holding my Vasculitis too

Last run for a couple of weeks 😭
I’m not going to stress over it ( she says secretly stressing) but I have my steroid injection this afternoon and I have been quietly hoping that this will be the Holy Grail that will sort my hip pain out for good. As the day has got nearer I have had to keep telling myself it might not!! And not to

Montekulast
My 11 year has just been prescribed Montekulast - to use on top of two brands of anti histamines and a purple inhaler. Bit nervous about side effects. How have other parents with children on Montekulast got on?

A little insulted...
So, finally have a few days off for vacation, and had on a tv show last night to keep me company while I was making my lunch. It was The Big Bang Theory. I never noticed before, but they make Lenard’s asthma a punchline for a joke all the time. He sees a cute girl (inhaler and laugh track), he is stressed

Retired to Malta
I retired permanently to Malta with my husband in 2018. We know the island well because I inherited 2 flats in St Paul's Bay in 1972. Anyway when I left my cough was bad (I also suffer from Bronchiectasis), waking up every night reliably at 3:00. Every couple of months I seemed to get a bad cold. I

Trimbow users/ ex users
Hi. I have been using Trimbow for about 8 months and though it seemed to be an improvement initially on my previous inhalers I find that now I seem to be a lot more breathless. I wondered if anyone that has used Trimbow has found anything that helped more with breathing when they changed from it? Thanks

Struggling with a new asthma diagnosis
Hi recently been diagnosed with asthma I got a peak flow meter today but I don’t know what I good peak flow actually is. I’ve got a blue inhaler and a pink steroid one. I’ve got a spacer. Just stressing as I don’t know much about asthma. I’m trying to not google as I think that’s the worst thing I can

Struggling!
I have struggled all day long today to breathe...have taken my blue 10 times. I’ve not been great for a couple of weeks and saw my asthma nurse at surgery who had referred me back to hosp after they ditched me from clinic because of Covid backlog. My nurse has stepped up my inhalers again to same as
