Was admitted on Tuesday via A&E after struggling since Thursday with asthma. Walking a very short distance (slowly) in the cold on Tuesday set things off and ended up in A&E. Was already on 40mg pred, doxycycline, monteloukast, seretide and ventolin when admitted.
Was given nebulised ventolin and atrovent twice and then a bag of IV magnesium.
Never had the magnesium before, or heard of it. It seemed to help! Any experiences of it?
Was discharged yesterday afternoon - hooray!
