asthmatics... do you measure your peak flow? And should I start the prednisolone?

[Yorkiegirl]

Mine is usually around 480. Atm it is 390 as I am not well.
I have some prednisolone tablets in the cupboard which my GP gave me to use if my PF dropped... should I start taking them do you think?

I am ringing the doctor at 8.30 for an appointment

appointment at 12

when i am given predisalone for my asthma i am to take 8 tabs for 7 days. seems to be clearing though.

I hope the appointment went well, YG. xx

me too hope your ok

I have a chest infection. GP was on the verge of sending me to hospital but decided I would get better quicker at home. So I have to be a good girl and stay off work for the rest of the week.
Had a minor attack whilst at the docs but that has passed now thankfully.

Take care of yourself Yorkiegirl!

have taken second lot of abs now.
The pains I get in my chest are scaring me a little but GP didn't seem too bothered

hi YG, glad you are getting sorted with medicines, hope you feel better soon - just think of the energy you will have nest week off steroid it alsways send me and ds wild !!

There are lots of us with asthma aren't there! Nive to know am not the only one with a bag full of inhalers. Luckily my DS hasn't shown any wheeziness as yet--although he does have hayfever in the summer.

Both my DDs have been prescribed inhalers for night coughs in the past. Fortunately it has been short lived and no signs of asthma long term. I would hate for them to be permanently attached to one inhaler or another like me.
My chest still isn't great. Have booked an appointment at the docs for tomorrow as she said to come back for a check up.
