Re: Flixonase

[Guest guest]

Hi , interesting reading. I too am on flixonase and have been coughing up a bit

of blood in the morning. Currently on the asprin free diet....what a nightmare.

Have had to come off singulair due to side affects. have lots of polys

apparently and pansinusitis etc. Referred to ENT surgeon in May but GP thinks

they may not remove them as they will return again. I live in UK and no one

seems to talk about desensization so far at least. Hated prednisolone and dont

want it again.On inhalers for the asthma (when I remember)

Where you you live?

Hi Helen

Thanks for letting me know about your experience.

Living in Central London.

Apart from during Predinisalone course, the only other significant boost to my

Asthma reading was after taking a course of Antibiotics, when the reading shot

up, and then descended slowly over 6 weeks.

Asthma readings has improved since December, but not really sure why. However,

have been taking prebiotic tablets to assist with a digestive problem.

Always used to find that if I went away from the cold UK winter for a warm

break, during the Spring I would get my sense of smell back, and it would feel

like the polyps would retreat for a period of 1 month or so. Unfortunately

haven't been able to get away like I used to for some time.

Good luck to you
