Me

I take one every night before bed.

Marvellous stuff.

If I miss a night, I can really feel it sad.

Asthma is horrid.

Really? IS it really effective then? I'm on seretide but I always feel like I'm not really able to breathe properly if that makes sense. If the singulair works I will be so happy.

Oh yes, it's great.

I take Seretide inhaler, twice daily, plus ventolin as and when, no night time coughing, chest is fine.

Been on them about a year now.

You will not believe how much better you feel, I promise you.

oh my goodness, I took it yesterday and I know the nurse said I might have weird dreams, but Bruce Forsythe with a shotgun was not what I expected. Could be a coincidence though. Not sure if I like it. Should persevere though I suppose.

Anyone else taking these tablets and feel 'weird'?

Anyone had any strange side effects? I've been reading reviews on them from other people and they do not sound good!

Anyone?

My ds has been on it for a about 18 mos now,he's 5.5yrs.

It has literally changed his life,and ours.

Before he was needing nebs and oral steroids on a regular basis ,hasn't needed either since starting singulair!

I haven't noticed any side effects on him and he's a bit young to notice himself.

I've been reading horror stories about them, and I've felt really sick with horrible stomach pains all day. Might be something else, but who knows. Maybe I'll persevere, but if I have another nightmare tonight I'm not taking them again.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
