Interesting for all us puffers.

No inhaler for weeks now and going well on bike and feet. Long may it continue.

Well, can't we tell the weather is changing:mad:

After months of no inhalers and starting to feel pretty fit I had the mother of all attacks last night:eek:

Felt a bit chesty all day but the cold air at night kick started it off again :(

After manically searching for the inhaler - (to the point of full on panic attack!!) therefore enabling my lungs to start working again calm was retored!

Bloody great does this mean the annual chest infection is imminent and I can't go anywhere without the bloomin inhaler - grrrrr.

Still feel iffy this morning - maybe a run will help?:cool:

Don't know if this helps but i have to get Prednisolone (i think its called) occasionally from my GP when i have a bout that just won't go away - usually after being around cats though (must be all them Black Panthers running around these days) - but it really does the trick.

It definately is that time of year Emmi, it was this time last year I only madeit quarter of the way up Wetherlam.

Its always at the back of my mind, Im hoping the purple peril inhaler that I have been choffing on for 6 months will see me right. (seretide)

Have you been taking your preventer inhalers morning and night Emmi. This is something I did'nt do last year and I got caught out.

Its a bummer cos you had such a good run Saturday - hopefully nothing to serious

Jamie

thanks guys - i can't get to see my quack this week - I'm not ill enough obviously:( and go away sunday - so sun sea and warmness!!! I'll go and see her when i get back to talk about a preventative over the winter months.

I've only got the 1 inhaler Jamie and usually resort to it when I feel an attack coming on - I've been brill all summer - not even any hayfever this year which is nothing short of a miracle.

Swoop and I were saying this morning that there has been no gradual decline in the temperature it was just suddenly bloomin freezing!!!

ran today and felt ok but coughing up a lung on the drive home!!:eek:

Will keep you posted!

Might be worth getting a flu jab as well

You've got me twitchy now

sorry Hun:o You'll be fine - *crosses everything*:o

I ran fine last night, breathing was okay. Although I was feeling the cold.

Hope I dont have a bad winter again. It will wreck all my plans for next year. :mad:

Yep - about a week ago I was back on the brown preventative one and also have a couple of blasts on the blue before a run or bike ride. So far so good but I know I need to start back on them when I get woken up at night sounding like Mr. Vader! Got a flu jab booked as well and am starting a pilates class in a few weeks in the hope that it may help. Also moved the power breather to once a day rather than every 2 or 3. Let's just hope it doesn't bugger me for the Isle of Wight this weekend and Steepdown in October - that was the one I had to stop in last year after belting off uphill at the start. Not pretty! Right, I'm off out on the BMX. Break a leg.

Struggling a bit at the moment. I forgot to take the preventitive last night before bed and woke up wheezing. I just hate the idea of steroids and the like. Swimming tonight and will try without the inhaler and see how I go on. How are you all?

My asthma's been great since I started on Seretide. I don't like the idea of steroids either but it's the lesser evil I guess. I'm starting to notice the cold weather though - need to make sure I take my reliever a bit more religously!
