Re: Mouth Ulcers

so are you taking it up with the doctors practice? If they are missing things like this with you what else are they missing.

Having said that I went about a year ago witha bad cough mainly at night that I'd had for a couple of months that I couldn't get rid of, was given anti biotics, cough stopped whilst taking them and returned immediately I finished. went back a month later, have some more antiB's same again, went back. Oh you have to give them time to work.... wait another 6 weeks no difference went with Siobhan one day as she wasn't well, saw a new doc

whilst there I started coughing...

Thats a bad cough he says

yep, had it for over a year now, 2 sets of antiBs aint shifted it.

Blow in this...

You've got mild asthma, use this inhaler at night and take one of tehse meters and keep a record of teh results.

end result, peak flow of 420 to start with is now 560 although at my age and height etc I should be > 600.

Still at least its sorted :D

Doubt he would get much joy with a complaint against the practice but agree one should be made. If the first signs of cancer were picked up on straight away by the GP's there were be more people cured. Sadly in both Ian and his Mums cases early signs were not picked up on.

Bet the last doctor you saw was younger that the one you'd been seeing previously Ian. People keep saying that asthma is on the increase, but the fact is that doctors are now diagnosing it, were as in the past they weren't. Your peak flow seem okay, mine, when I'm having a good day is only 370 should be 550, but there again my lungs only work at a quarter of of what they should do, in other words they're knackered:D

That looks like slow suicide:eek:

Re: Mouth Ulcers

but what a way to go!!! :D

Yes jaysay, it was a young upstart :D

TBH I'm quite glad because I was getting worried about it. I'm not a sickly person so something that was lasting so long was preying on my mind( as well as keeping Julie awake at night when I had a coughing fit, not good for your health at all let me tell you!!!! :D )

Anyway, I don't use the inhaler every night, I can usually tell when I need it so I'm using it only when needed

Re: Mouth Ulcers

I was continously gasping for breath 5 months ago
(when I was awake- which was only 50%of the time)
A chest xray showed early emphysema
(which is one of the things they now call COPD)

My breathing improved dramatically during the 2 weeks I waited for xray results.
I had begun self medication to correct self diagnosed vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
My breathlessness was mainly due to vitB12 deficiency.
I now climb a flight of stairs quickly without gasping

I was issued with an inhaler with the added comment that my emphysema
was really not bad enough to warrant it, but it will halt its progress.
(I have since read that this is untrue)

I used it for 5 weeks then stopped when I read this
MedWire News - Respiratory - Common COPD treatment linked to increased cardiovascular deaths

Which just compounds what I already decided-
Doctors often don't know all they should know so don't always believe them
