greedie1: please just google for prednisolone. its the active ingredient of perilon tabs. Apart from its nemurous negative side effects. Withdrawal from long term is also problematic. And most users have to taper (reduce dosage gradually) in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms. |

I am not asthmatic but I got a bad experience I'll never forget! They was this asthmatic girl I was dating "naah, we wer jst more than close friends" her Dad was a Navy Commodore, Man didn't like me it was like his pastor told him I was goin to steal his next promotion. So the first and last day I met her dad, dude interrogated me, said I was a cultist, I should pull out that black hand ban from my hand b4 he locks me up. Said if anything happened to his daughter because of me, he'll kill me So one of those days she came to my crib, she had an attack a very serious one and she wasn't with her inhaler. I was so confused, I had not seen noffin like that before. I ran out and started banging on my of neighbours house, there are a medicine fam. Luckily there we're around, they came out and salvaged the situation. In my mind I was dead, wht will I say, I was already seeing my myself in jail. Mehn God saved me 3 Likes |

Arysexy:Candidas normally grows in your mouth. Its growth is kept in check by your immune system.. Steroids are immunosuppresants (They suppress your immune system) and that's why they are even effective in asthma because allergies occur when your body treats substances that are not harmful to your body as harmful so they mobilize your body's defense against this unharmful substances causing the classical symptoms of asthma.. In other words the body attacks its own healthy tissues so immunosuppresants like corticosteroids suppress your body's immune system helping your asthma but also predisposing your body to infections and a number of side effects... So taking inhaled steroids will cause immunosuppresion locally in your mouth resulting in over growth of candidas causing oral thrush/ candidiasis. It however resolves in a matter of weeks so its nothing to worry about really.. Yeah a major side effect of using steroids over a long period of time is weight gain although it is much more common with oral therapy.. Some people even use steroids on purpose to add weight.. 2 Likes |

WASMOG:I'm guessing the blood tests and x-ray was to rule out other conditions(differential diagnosis) that could be wrong with you as their are several conditions that could cause asthma like symptoms.. Get a peak flow meter.. It isn't expensive and ask your pharmacist how to use it.. |

My heart is bleeding for Nigeria, ignorance is our problem and it kills faster than whatever illness we have. Everything is based on selfish interest and people assume everyone is after their change. Get honest facts before calling to argue. |

I wasn't diagnosed with asthma till I was 28, then it dawned on me that I'd been alive purely by God's mercy. I remembered the nights I awoke breathless and my mum used all her mummy powers to get me breathing- hot towels, warm beverages, Chinese balm etc....The attacks were rare but severe, probably why I never got looked at by a doctor as a child. I played basketball thru out high school, played in university and played a lot after uni whilst awaiting nysc, hence my shock at the discovery. Had to get a ventolin inhaler in 2012 though after another rare emergency, my first in more than 30yrs, but I rarely need it. |

My warm hugs to all those who have shared their experiences on this thread. From long time management, most of you have turned butter into a hard lump , BT it is still visible the sacrifices and self discipline you put into caring for yourself on a daily basis. I have learnt a great deal from this thread and I will readily point out some small tips to the next uninformed asthmatic pal I come along with. A pity it limits you from some jobs like the one I do. My Small heart goes out to y'all. Stay healthy and don't take chances. Please! |

I was diagnosed years ago and I'm in my mid 30's now. I haven't had a major attack for over 2 years so it came as a surprise wen a month ago I started having severe attacks. I was about crossing into my last trimester. The doctor gave me several intravenous injections bt I only got worse. He then queried my blood, result came out, I had senior and junior typhoid(high values) , malaria parasite, infections in the blood, low calcium, low blood volume coupled with d stress of pregnancy!! I was surprised wen I saw the result cause I wasn't really sick as in bed ridden and running a temperature, I just felt fatigued and I attributed it to 3rd trimester o! I was placed on a cocktail of injections and drugs o, special care being taken cos of the baby. I was also given an inhaler, I've attached the pictures. It's been over 3 weeks now and I feel great! So for me the trigger was internal. I haven't had need of the inhaler for about a week now, but I carry it with me just to be safe.

wesley80:Oh.. My bad.. Yeah they are loads.. Weight gain, moon face, muscle wasting, muscle myopathy, adrenal insufficiency due to sudden withdrawal that could cause death, hyperhlycemia, glycosuria and it could precipitate diabetes mellitus in predisposed patients, cushingoid syndrome, immunosupression and susceptibilty to infections, gastric ulcerations, it also affects bone development, oral thrush, mania, activation of tuberculosis in patients under remission and so many more.. Most of the side effects though are due to high doses of steroids over a prolonged period of time.. Nd it is usually with oral steroids so inhaled steroids are relatively safe except for the thrush that can easily be prevented.. |

Asthma is a way your body is complaining about dehydration. This condition like other conditions can be simply corrected. Other conditions which can be cured include, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stones, multiple sclerosis, cancer and even aids. Mechanism of Action With prolonged dehydration, the alveoli sends a message to the brain releasing histamine and causing contacting and shortness of breath which we see as asthma. Most of these sicknesses are completely curable but the greed of the big pharmaceuticals and doctors have seen them providing drugs that treat the symptoms and make you dependent on drugs for life. The world is run on a sick care system, not a health care system. |

Only if you understand the effect of continous usage of this drugs,the causative pathogen can built a resistance against the drugs. So for anyone living wt asthma the ability to manage the disease is very crucial. But I thnk the best way out is to prevent yourself from what could trigger the attack. |
