What's Happening Now



I did try almost all ( 15+doctors/Ent... ) all failed !
I get now cured in just 3 days by putting a leaves of a natural plant in my ear! I know it sounds like miracle but it is true,
Thanks to mother nature ! Still very powerfull !
I have found this efficient treatment in Bergrac/France, from Mr.Francois ( you can contact him [email protected] ) or you can check up his newly made website. Thanks so much to him.View Thread



is it any good? I really can't tell at this point ...for sure. I know in the recent past I have tried it and it did seem to help. I was not sick any of those times, but seemed to be having an issue with breathing (usually because of some chemical in the air). Now I am sick and it might be helping, but if so, its not much or for very long.
I know I need a new one but am out of work with no medical at this time.
So the question is...is my inhaler any good for use after the expiration date?View Thread

I'm glad that you found us but I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter has been struggling. I know that users like kim_rose will chime in with their stories and provide you with support and advice.
Here are links to information that I could find about Reactive Airway Disease:
Information about Bronchial Asthma
Asthmatic Bronchitis
Non-WebMD source
Asthma and Reactive Airway Disease -- This source gives tips on how to treat RAD both with medications and home treatments such as drinking warm liquids.
Please continue to reach out to your doctor about treatment options and about special studies that you could participate in.
I also really encourage you to look into regular therapy. Anyone whose life has been impacted by illness has a lot of loss to process and therapy can really help with this.
And talking here if it helps; even if it is a quiet board, just writing things out can help.
You're not alone ((hugs)) View Thread



Here is a link to information about types of short-acting and long-acting inhalers.
Keep us posted on which one you choose and how it's working for you!View Thread



Random question, I know. I recently read an article that said that Amish children exhibit low levels of allergic sensitivity and asthma due to their exposure to many allergens.
While I don't think that I would ever become Amish, there are definitely useful insights to take away from these findings.
Did you grow up in an environment where you were exposed to a lot of allergens? If so, do you think that helped you or hurt you?
Or perhaps, you grew up in an environment that was more sterile. Do you feel as though that contributed to your asthmatic symptoms?

I had my first 3 injections a week ago. Yes, I also worried about the cost, but was more worried about the side effects. I have so many allergies to medications, I felt like I couldn't feel safe about taking Xolair. My Allergist and my Primary Care doc both encouraged me to go ahead. I have been in a cycle of having to use Prednisone every month or two and my corticosteroids were at the maximum level. My IGE count was at 2335, so my doctor felt I was a good candidate for this medication.
I do hope it helps, but realize it is too soon to tell. So far I have had some mild effects from it such as tiredness, aching in my arms, anxiety and one evening a rash on my face that then went away. I have to trust God is watching over me, as well as making this medication possible .
Thank you again for your words of encouragement.View Thread

I do have acid reflux, but i barely use medecines all together.
I have found juicing an apple and a small hunk of ginger in the morning is the best cure for me. For the acid reflux.
Ive used prilosec and nexium for small time spans. Just working the things I eat seems to be the best way to stay well even though I smoke and my diet is really pretty horrid. Irrregular meals, roach coach breakfast, sandwich for lunch, variety of dinner types .. usually.
I hope this info helps the rest of you nausious sneezers. It has been affecting me for 6 months or better. Its the wierdest thing. I wanted to see what could be causeing it.
For years now I have used looking towrds the sun, some times even a brighter interior light, to bring on and intensify my sneezing. I don't mind sneezing it is not irritating to me. I know some poeple have a hard time with it. But what I don't like is hanging on or waiting for a sneeze to come. Try it, you'll like it. Hope the above info helps.
I don't know if there any other explanations for the problem. All I have seen here is a LOT of people with the same affliction.

I hope you sought emergency care or at the very least called you doctor! As you can see boards like this rarely offer help quickly.
This type of reaction may disqualify you from future doses.
I hope others read this and take heed.
I hope you are feeling better.

I just wanted to let everyone that used to use Maxair that Teva has finally come out with a somewhat comparable replacement - ProAir RespiClick. Of course MaxAir was pirbuterol not albuterol, but it is awesome to once again have an inhaler that does not require a spacer! This is also an excellent option for people (especially kids) who struggle with the coordination of actuating an inhaler and breathing in as the inhaler is a powder and therefore is breath activated.
I am not a fan of powder inhalers, but for the convenience of not needing a spacer I will be trying it. If I remember correctly the inhalation rate for powders is slower than for other inhalers or the power will hit the back of the throat and not reach the lungs.
Here is the link if anyone is interested in checking it out.
