| Asthma and feeling tired Susan34 20:29:38 |
| | HI,
I was diagnosed wiht asthma last year. This past week has been
different because I feel wiped out after doing tasks around the house,
enough that I have to take a nap. This happens at work as well. I
really can't feel if my chest is "tight or not" and I am not sure when
albutoral is necessary. My doc wants me to use it whenever I wheeze or
feel out of breath for a long time. The times I definitely still feel
out of breath is when I climb stairs and when I shovel the snow(of
which we've had a lot of this year). Should I take this new feeling of
being tired as my lungs working very hard...and that I should be taking
my albutoral? If I breath out in one quick breath I still hear that
great wheezing noise. But I don't think my "chest" is tight. Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

| Sudafed, asthma and sinusitis Alison Chaiken 08:33:57 |
| |
Recently my loved one's asthma and sinus congestion has been getting
worse. He tried azithromycin (sp?) for about a month, but it didn't
seem to help. Perhaps this is not surprising given that his nasal
discharge is clear. A CAT scan showed congestion consistent with his
symptoms. He went to see an ENT who was only interested in doing
surgery and refused to perform a sinus culture or endoscopic
examination. Obviously we need a new ENT.
Surprisingly the only thing recently that has helped his asthma (or
nasal congestion) is Sudafed. Has anyone heard of sudafed being
effective for asthma? What does the alleviation of the asthma
symptoms by Sudafed mean?
Of course Sudafed is no longer available from shelves in our area, and
I have to wait in line at the prescription counter to purchase it.

| Methacholine Challenge Guest 00:48:05 |
| | Anyone have any tips on how to ensure the highest probability of
passing a methacholine challenge test without displaying any asthmatic
symptoms, I've heard they have a 10% margin of error for displaying
false positives so I want to do everything possible to boost my chances
of not being labelled an asthmatic. Thanks!

| MSM is useful in treating asthma by regulating......... Herbs Wholesale 15:29:34 |
| | MSM is useful in treating asthma by regulating the fluid that covers
the airway surface of the lungs, and by preventing an inflammatory
response. It also has a normalizing effect on the membrane surface of
the lung, and helps to regulate the exchange of gases.

| Cured my mild asthma Guest 00:48:43 |
| | Folks, I'm NOT a doctor and I only had MILD asthma, so take this
information for what it's worth.
I just wanted you all to know what very simple remedy cured my mild
asthma.
I switched my diet to an all raw foods diet, which is effectively
considered a "mucous-free" diet, and it is a diet which raw foodists
believe is the natural diet of humans. Once I did this, not only did I
lose 10 pounds in a month, but my asthma went away as well!!
Again, I am NOT a doctor and I only had MILD asthma. So take this
information for what it's worth.
Anyways, it worked for me in my particular situation, and you can read
more about raw foods diets at these links. There's lots more resources
on the web as well, but these are some of my favorites:

Joe's & Whole Foods.

http://www.living-foods.com/recipes/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060392622/sw0b-20 -- one of
many raw food cookbooks
Anyways, just wanted you guys to know how happy I am! Obviously, this
dietary switch probably won't work for everybody, particularly if you
have severe asthma. And I have to repeat again: I am NOT a doctor and
I only had MILD asthma.
p.s. Sticking to an all raw foods diet is HARD, and I often cheat on my
own diet. When I do, I can literally feel the difference in my body.
Hope this helps someone!
See ya,
Scott

| Alternative to Advair ? k8vf-Mark 04:24:41 |
| | After a week back on Advair, I had to go off of it again as my throat
was like raw meat and very painful if I spoke or sang. Fungus also.
So, now I am on nothing.
Would it be worth trying Flovent Inhaler plus Serevent discus(the only
way we can get it, can't get Advair MDI here either) to see if it was
the delivery system causing my grief?
The reason I am willing to try this is that my symptoms were completely
gone, I slept soundly and even my NASAL congestion went away for the
first time in years while I was on Advair.
Has anyone else tried this method of delivery? Pricewise it is
similar.
Thank you all, I appreciate and need the help.
(BTW, I suggested serevent plus Singulair(already on it) to my
pulmonologist and he nixxed it)

| Advair-trying for the second time. k8vf-Mark 23:15:21 |
| | After having thrush in my throat and inflamed pipes and mouth, the
doctors want me to try Advair again.(all cleared up)
As it worked so well for my breathing, I am willing.
In all probability the problem will return, so........
Any advice on what to do to replace the ADVAIR if I cant tolerate it?
COmbivent?
QVAR plus SEREVENT?
Others?
Any thoughts and experiences are appreciated.

| HELP Big A 17:31:50 |
| | I had a sinus surgery in Nov '03. Since then, I have had severe asthma
- never had it before. I had severe allergies in the past but never
asthma. I have been on at least 10 prednisone bursts, numerous
inhalers, etc in the last year and a half. Nothing helps but
prednisone.
I even had an upper GI to see if GERD was causing my asthma - no signs
- everything looked good.
Now doctors want to maintain me on a low dose of prednisone. I am
currently on 15 mg a day, this just keeps me out of the hospital. I
would feel good on the high end of bursts but they won't let me do
another one. Doctors want to give me a xolair shot - ige level 166.
Do I need to be tested for this bacteria that everyone is talking
about. I used to run 30 miles a week, even when taking high doses of
prednisone, now I can't walk to my car without gasping for air. I am
miserable. Please give me some advice. Thank You!!!

| Xopenex Marcie 17:52:12 |
| | Is anyone aware of Xopenex? My doc says it has the effects of albuterol
without the "speedy" side effect. What are your thoughts? I'm using Asmanax
2 puffs daily with this as an emergency inhaler - to be used 3-4 times/day
with exacerbations.

| air conditioning at work Melanie 01:48:30 |
| | It's killing me. Thank god for Symbicort. Not sure if its the cold air
the air conditioning unit is putting out or all the dust that its
blowing around. I'm pretty good outside the office. Inside the office I
start wheezing and have to use my inhaler.
I have no sick days left to use this year. I leave the office for an
hour every lunch break which helps but then when I come back in I
suffer again.
So, next year I think I'll take my 4 weeks vacation in July. Maybe I'll
take an extra one month leave of absence. LOL
So, anything I can do? I asked the maintenance engineer but he said
there is nothing to be done, its free flow. No hepa filters in sight.
Oh we moved office last November and since then I've been miserable.
New building sux.
Working for a living sux.
