[Guest guest]

It definately sounds like an allergy problem to me; I cut my grass

Tuesday and had the same problem (mostly on my arms)! If the

Benedryl made it go away then I would think it's allergy related...

kind of what I thought too. I'll mention it to my allergist on Friday when I see him again to create my asthma action plan.

Sounds like an allergy to me, too. Do you use any fertilizers, weed killers, etc. on your yard?

that does sound like a allergic reaction. My daughter who has asthma also has

AD(allergic eczema) and she went out in the yard in within 5 minutes came in all

broke out(she didnt even mow)just running through the grass with the dog made

her rashy. Tree pollen is high, not sure about grass..this should be a fun

year...glad the benadryl helped. jean

I never have this as I take at least 1,000 mg of vitamin C ten minutes before I start eating. This prevents allergic reactions to the food that I eat. I am allergic to everything so I need something to stop the reaction. Before I started using the C I lived on phenergan which stops swelling due to food allergies and nausea. It is an antihistamine mainly for nausea. I had a friend who lived on prednisone and she was required to use her inhaler ten minutes before she started to eat every single time she ate and then she would throw up anyway after she ate. We used to go to lunch together as she was embarrassed about using her inhaler in public and I wasn't. I would use mine with her just to help her feel better. When we would get back to work she would have to go to the ladies to throw up. I don't think she inhaler idea before eating was really helping her but that was her

doctors idea. I didn't know about the C thing back then or I would have told her to try it. I only learned about in about ten years ago. Alice ps- I used to have really severe GERD but after a few years on the C it totally cleared up! I guess the C did it but I really don't know for sure. Before the C I lived in Zantac too.

Hi Terry,

GERD is a known asthma trigger and it sounds like that is a possible

cause for the coughing with your meal. Other thoughts would be a food

allergy of some sort, or if eating out when it happens maybe perfume,

smoke, or something else in the air around you. If you are not already

on treatment for GERD (usually a medicine like Prilosec or Nexiuum), a

trial of Prilosec (which is OTC now) would be worth a shot to see if it

is helpful. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor to see what he

suggests, especially if you are already on meds for GERD.

Silent GERD turned to out to be a factor complicating my son's asthma.

He never complained of any symptoms, so we never suspected it was part

of the problem, but he always burped and coughed alot with meals. The

asthma doctor figured it out. Prilosec has helped.

So glad to hear your asthma is doing better with the symbicort and that

you have been able to get back to your regular activities!

I will look into this and get some OTC stuff and see if it makes a difference. I have to be honest when I say, I'm so fed up with pills and medicines, and now my right bottom wisdom took it giving me trouble. NOT what I need right now.

I had GERD long before the asthma showed up, but I do believe the GERD is playing a role in the asthma at times. Thanks for your input Fredd

Your peak flow meter, have him check it, maybe it's it's not reading correctly, they've been known to do that. Have you thought of the allergy shots to desensitize your body against your allergies?

I was wondering if anyone could answer this for me: my peak flows are green when i check them in the am/pm but i'm still having asthma attcack in between the am/pm peak flow checks so when my doctor looks at my numbers he's seeing that i'm in good shape because my numbers are deceiving him into this misinformed notion that my asthma is in good control when i'm still having to use my rescue inhaler 2X a week, sometimes more. I have alot of triggers for my asthma/allergies (14) and i've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'll always have to use my inhaler at least 2X a week . Is this a normal thing to have good numbers but still have attacks? It seems to me that it's all about trigger exposure. Despite taking my meds everyday as perscribed i stil have problems. Is there something more I can do??? I've run out of ideas and my doctor(s) are no help at all!!!! Any ideas or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Check your peak flows several times a day, especially when you are

needing your rescue inhaler. Perhaps exposure to your allergy triggers

is causing problems during the day when you are doing things, but your

peak flows at home are better when you are inside in a controlled

environment. Maybe keep a chart of what you are doing and where you are

at when needing to use the rescue inhaler to show the doctor. It might

show enough of a pattern to give some clues and would make him more

aware that you are having problems.

If you are still having a lot of problems, an adjustment of your meds

might be needed or possibly figuring out what else could be done to

reduce exposure to your triggers. Maybe something where you are during

the day is setting you off, like new carpet or mold or poor ventilation.

Hopefully you are on some kind of allergy medicine and allergy shots

might be a consideration. Hang in there and I hope you are feeling

better soon,

I'm not a doctor but from experience I've had the exact thing happen to me. I have to use my flovent to ease the inflammation in my chest and this always helps. Lou

[Guest guest]

Hi Terry,

Leg cramps can be a side effect of Advair in some people. I think the

serevent is the culprit if it is a drug side effect. Ask your doctor

what he thinks. I don't think I've heard of muscle weakness as a

problem from it though.

It could also be because some of your electrolytes (potassium,

magnesium, or calcium) are a bit low. I used to get terrible leg cramps

at night that drove me nuts, starting with my third pregnancy, and it

improved greatly after adding extra calcium and magnesium to my prenatal

vitamins, on the doctor's advice. I continued to have problems,

although not as bad after the birth and have continued to take extra and

it makes a huge difference. But again, I didn't have any muscle

weakness, just terrible cramps or feeling like I had to get up and move

my legs. So I'm not sure that totally applies to your situation.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the input ! It's like I can't stretch my legs or arms

without feeling as if I've pulled something or it makes my legs or arms sore

and hurt. Today I'm finding unexplained bruises, one has a knot under it and

it sore.

Steroids of all kinds can cause both the cramping and muscle

weakness. Oral steroids are, of course, much worse than inhaled

steroids. Basically, they suck the vitamins & minerals out of you.

My dr has me on prescription calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin-d

& zinc. This combo has helped ALOT with the cramping. I still have

the muscle weakness, but I have a recumbant bike I use to help build

them up.

You might have your dr check your potassium and other levels next

time you do blood work.

I will do that, I've been wondering about my potassium, I've had that

deplete before I ever had asthma. Thank you I will ask my pcp about this, I

should really be more vocal I guess about checking those levels with being

on these asthma meds! I'm also going to call the nurse from the insurance

company who calls here once a month and ask her about this too!

I have been having horrible cramps the past 3 months. My feet, legs, back, sides are even in the lower left side of my stomach. That one sticks out like a softball size and really hurts. I cannot breathe when I get it in the back or stomach.

question

Have any of you found the your muscles are NOT what they use to be? I amforever getting cramps in my legs, my muscles are not as strong as they useto be. I'm just wondering if it's part of the side effects of the meds thatcause this or something elseTerry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that Hedidn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teddy Bear's Early Learning ProgramEstablished August of 1992____________ _________ _________ _________No viruses found in this outgoing messageScanned by iolo AntiVirus 1.5.3.5http://www.iolo. com

Hi Terry,

Are you drinking enough water? Also, leg cramps, aside from

being a side effect from medication, can also be a potassium deficiency. Try

getting more bananas and tomatoes (I know about the salmonella issue, but

cooked tomatoes are OK).

I hadn't been but have made myself start drinking at least 1 liter every 3 hours, I keep a bottle with me. I noticed when I took a shower today that even if I over stretched a arm the muscle would tighten up and feel sore, I bet it is the Potassium, all this I'm experiencing I bet you is that! I'm going for a banana right now, just bought some at the store. Out side of tomato's and potatoes what else has potassium in it that I can consume? I don't want to have to result to yet another pill to take.

I SWEAR, if this dang gone fly doesn't leave me alone, I'm going to have to go on him with a fly swatter LOL! Annoying thing!

Terry, Orange juice is rich in potassium. Also I found this web site

that will give foods with potassium.

http://nutrition.about.com/od/foodfun/p/potassium_foods.htm

Scroll down the page and you will come to Potassium in Foods.

Good luck,

Violet

Regarding the tomatoes...there are many kinds of tomatoes...so you shouldn't let your fear of the poisoned ones stop you from eating other kinds of tomatoes. Drinking a lot of water seems to ease some of the pain too.

Your wonderful. I have a banana sitting next to me, as I was reading this to

eat for breakfast, I'm not a big eater at any meal especially breakfast,

But I'm eating this for my body to start being nice to me again LOL
