| 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:
http://www.planetraw.com/living-food.php

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

| Question about Asthma Meds Gkn1999 10:07:37 |
| | I've been a severe asthmatic for many years and have had a hard time
being controlled on Advair 500/50, allegra, and bronchodilators. I
just got out of the hospital a few hours ago and they increased my meds
to Advair 500/50 2x a day, Allegra in the morning, benadryl in the
eveing, flonase, singulair for maintenance,albuterol as needed, and for
now,i'm tapering down on predisone and taking an antibioitic. In the
hospital, they were giving me solumedrol 3x a day. My current peak
flow after being in the hospital for 3 days is 200-225. I was just
wondering if people seemed to think this much medication is overkill
and what other meds are people taking.Are there anygood supplements OTC
that help with ashtma. I seem to catch every cold and every cough out
there so I'm looking to seee if anyone has suggetions to increase my
immune system. I have been to the ER many times and have been
hospitalized at least 5 times for my asthma and it's driving me crazy.
I have had asthma since I was a kid and am currently 28 years. Any
advice about management wouldbe muchappreicated.

| 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!!!

| | 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.

| What's the Progression Rate for Chronic Bronchitis? Phaeton 20:20:59 |
| | I've just been diagnosed with the "early stages of chronic bronchitis".
I was a smoker for 15 years, but I quit smoking around 3 years ago.
When I asked my doctor how fast Chronic Bronchitis will progress, or if
it will progress at all he simply answered "You've already done the
best thing you can do, which is quit smoking."
Maybe he's reluctant to tell me a doom-n-gloom answer? I don't know.
It's very mild. I don't really have a cough, just shortness of breath.
It responds very well to a bronchiodialator, (lung function went from
54% to 93% in the before/after spirometer test) and there are some days
where the shortness doesn't seem to bother me much.
I'll be 32 next month, so what can I expect with treatment and proper
living? Is Chronic Bronchitis something that I treat and live with for
a very long time, say into my 60s? Will I be on oxygen bottles and
miserable by my 40s? Will this kill me in 5 years?
Stuff on the web is kind of vague- lumping it all together in COPD with
asthma and emphysema, or even using all three terms interchangeably.
Some websites say that the disease stops when you quit smoking, others
say it continues to progress into emphysema until it kills you.
Thanks for any suggestions

| Change in Inhaler? Roger Murray 19:06:47 |
| | As I explained in an earlier posting headed Prednisolone. I started
with Asthma about three years ago. At first I was given Asmasal
clickhalors, but the condition gradually got worse and my doctor
switched to a Symbicort Turbohaler. The reason I think was because in
every case positive relief only came after a course of Predisolone
tablets. These were to be taken six 5ml tablets a day over two weeks,
each course amounting to 58 tablets. So far I have had five courses of
these tablets.
Yesterday I was referred to a different doctor at a local specialist
clinic dealing with lung conditions. I explained that the condition was
always completely cleared after a course of Prednisolone, but after
about two weeks of coming off the tablets the symptoms gradually
started to return. First with a cough, then with increasing wheezing
chest until shortage of breath on exertion until I just couldn't
breath, as if somebody had put a bag over my head. I was acutely tired
but felt worse when lying down, and at night felt that I was drowning.
The slightest exertion would bring on the condition.
The young lady doctor was very positive saying that she thought the
asthma was brought on by some permanent underlying problem, rather than
just being allergic to something. Her thinking was that as the
symptoms always gradually came back after coming off the Prednisolone,
instead of just having attacks by coming into contact with some kind of
irritant, the problem seemed to be caused be some permanent underlying
condition. In fact she wondered if it was asthma in a pure asthma
sense, but something else which she was looking to eradicate.
Her thinking seemed to make sense, although I am not qualified to make
judgement. She sent me off for a chest x-ray which showed as clear and
then took a number of blood tests and asked me to return to see her in
three months
She also took me off the Symbicort Turbohalers to be replaced by a
Flixotide Accuhaler saying that as I seemed to be entirely dependent on
steroid treatment i/e the Prednisolone tablets, which she wanted to get
me off. The Flixotide was more steroid based, but less harmful with
side effects than the Prednisolone tablets.
Apart from this asthma which took me completely by surprise. I am
otherwise healthy, last year riding a motorcycle across the Sahara
desert and the year before across India. So I get plenty of fresh air.
I apologise for this long diatribe of my trials and tribulations but I
am interested in this groups more varied views.
Over here in Cheshire, England I don't think it is as easy to have
open and frank conversation with your doctors as you do in the States.
There is still the left over residue of a medical regime which
considers itself the exclusive custodians of your body and you the mere
mortal are not supposed to know about such things. A kind of mummy
knows best syndrome. Thankfully it is changing fast, but as we have a
National Health system which although is admirable, is massively
overworked, so time with the doctor and specialist is always limited.
Thanks for all your help.
Roger James Murray.
