HBB1: I'll paste the link when I get on my laptop. But it also said there that prednisolone (swallowed steroid) has serious side effects when taken too much compared to inhaler steriod. You were right. 1 Like |

HBB1: Like you said, "it's your life" - thank you. This is the more reason people need to understand the meaning of "abuse". It's a prescription given to me (like others) by a health professional in 'Ayinke House'. I've been on it for over five years and it has improved my 'asthmatic management'. That a drug has an adverse effect has to do with the abuse of the intake - Tramadol is a very good drug (medicinally) but because of the abuse, people say all sorts of things about it. You are not asthmatic (I don't pray you become one as I pray for healing for those of us who are) - the pain and the difficulties to breathe come from the heart. The adrenaline (shot after a shot) gives your heart the strength for you to cough out the phlegm that are blocking the passage of air. See, inhaler are never effective then - you puff in but the phlegm bounces it out. Hence, the need for aminophline (intravenous) to help you cough them out. Or better still, the adrenaline for a faster reaction. Like I said, you no know the pain pass people wey wear the shoes. |

HBB1: Seriously, shot? Thank you but that prescription has kept me alive today. If you are a health worker, ill suggest you update your knowledge on the use of adrenaline. Mind you - as little as the liquid content is, you take three shots within 10 minutes and it is advisable to be used in time of crisis (like I said in my first response before you took me around this grammatical exercise). Bros, I no wetin I dey talk. Go and Google it. Thank you. NB: You can read here (it's a reputable global medical website) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3691679/ |

scriptaz18: I agree with you. Medicine is not mathematics. Treatment change with time. What is considered standard treatment today can become dangerous in few years time. There is no one size fits all. As long as you get the necessary relief and it's has been able to keep you alive and less pain for over five years, then you are alright. It's the same thing with malaria. I am very prone to malaria and I struggled all the way from childhood to adulthood with malaria. In fact anytime I do blood test, there was always some degree of malaria in my blood. My drug of choice all through my childhood was chloroquine. But since about 10 years ago, I was informed that chloroquine has been banned. The doctor said it has all sorts of side effects, some of which are fatal. No so my wahala start o. I have tried every new drug in the market, it only help me for about 2 weeks to a month. After a month or so I am down again. I buy some of the drugs for up to N4, 000. Same thing with my children. Last month I got so frustrated and went to my chemist friend, I told him want chloroquine injection , morning and night for 3 days. I told him I would pay him anything. He agreed. After that intensive regime for 3 days, I became very weak, but I recovered after 2 days. A week later I went to test again for malaria, and for the first time in years, they could not find one plasmodium parasite in my blood. After this I tool all my children for injection (although on a less intensive regime), and today, they too are malaria free. What I do now, to keep the malaria at bay, is to take Fansidar every 2 weeks. So different strokes for different folks. |

scriptaz18: Did you read 'nebulised' adrenaline? Did you read that there was no marked difference between nebulised adrenaline and Salbutamol? If you need adrenaline shots for your asthma, then you need intensive care. You think Adrenaline is child's play? Issorait ![]() |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by HBB1(m): 2:17pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
wirinet: Chloroquine was stopped because of resistance not for any side effects. Get the facts right. I am sure if I also do blood tests, there might be traces of the Malaria Parasites in my blood, but I don't feel ill¿ But it's not Chloroquine we are talking about here. Anyway... |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by scriptaz18(m): 3:21pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
HBB1: It's not about the superlative, "nebulised" - I know. It's about if it can be used to manage severe crisis. It's the same reason I told you it should be 'prescribed' and strictly taken during the crisis. But seriously, I meant no offence to you in the exchange of words. It's raining now (asthmatic season) and I have no fears for the attack because I took the last shot over three months ago and my breathing is normalised. Likewise others that have used it to normalize theirs. Asthma is not a sickness - it's a condition. The phlegm is the problem - it's very sticky and block your windpipe but if you can cough it out (often with the aid of the injections), you'll live a 'normal life'. Take care, sir. |

midnighter:I tried piriton, but I always react. Once I take it get chest congestion (mild asthma) for up to three days. Is there any other you can recommend. I now use Fansider. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by midnighter(f): 3:55pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
wirinet: Is it for allergies, asthma or malaria? It seems youre doing well on the Fansider. I took it for a short while and almost ran mad ![]() |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by wirinet(m): 4:07pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
midnighter: Sorry, my error. I mean to say Sunday Sunday medicine, can't remember the generic name. I take piriton when I have sinusitis and other allergies. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by midnighter(f): 4:30pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
wirinet: Well if the Sunday Sunday is working, do you really want to change it? Its sounding ok the way youve described it For allergies I would suggest you see a doctor and ask for another antihistamine since the Piriton is giving you trouble |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by wirinet(m): 5:11pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
midnighter:It was the Sunday Sunday medicine that was giving me problems. I have no problems with piriton |

scriptaz18: Dude, if you never new, know now, the route of administration of a medicine is as important as the medicine itself. You posted a study on nebulised Salbutamol and adrenaline and the study even says there was not much difference between the two. If you have ever taken Salbutamol through your veins you will know it is different from the inhaler. Yes it's about the superlative too! Need I say that on no algorithm for managing asthma is adrenaline indicated ( if you need adrenaline, then you need intensive care). Nobody will discharge you home the same day. Don't just pull out any thing you see online and try to make a point out of it. Continue with your adrenaline shots, it's Nigeria after all. If you prescribe your adrenaline to someone with background heart issues and he kpeme, I nor know nor dey o! Take care too Sir! |

wirinet: so what problems are you having? |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by wirinet(m): 7:08pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
midnighter:Once I take it, I will be unable to sleep for 3 days. I will have serious chest congestion, mild asthma attack, mostly at night. It happens every time I take it. |
Re: Living With An Asthmatic Spouse by midnighter(f): 7:20pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
wirinet: Yeah it seems to be a side effect of taking a strong malarial since you dont get any protection from the other ones. Have you spoken to a doctor about this? The other type of anti-malarial drug is Malarone, but I dont know if it will be effective for you Have you tried other preventative measures such as using a good net and wearing light, long-sleeved clothes after 6PM? And fleeting your house? |
