Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Hi Glenda and everyone Sorry I haven't been around much, but I certainly haven't forgotten you all... it was about a year ago this time of year when my RP made it's re-appearance. I'm doing much better though, I had stopped taking the pred in early Feb and have not had a relapse since. However, I have some wheezing which my GP has diagnosed it as mild asthma or bronchial spasm, but I breathe ok most of the time and there is no pain, just occasional coughing to try to clear the congestion a bit. I hear a squeaky/whistling kind of noise on long exhales and especially when I lie down; and sometimes a slight heaviness on the chest. My GP prescribed Flovent, which I'm too chicken to try as she said it can cause thrush... But I'll use it soon just to rid myself of these symptoms. I'm presently on 2 weeks vacation and trying to relax, but it's unusually cold outside for this time of year. As long as I'm home and relaxing and in good health I started my vacation out by going to a U2 concert last Monday... I must be getting old though, the music and screaming was so loud, I think I damaged my ear drum... still hear a ringing/buzzing sound on my right ear... I'll have to remember to wear ear plugs next time... LOL Take care everybody and remember I love you all very much hugs Carmela *************************** > >Message: 21 > Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 21:16:45 -0700 > >Subject: Re: Carmela > >Carmela, >Wow it is good to see you post!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Carmela, I have been on Flovent for a long time and have not gotten Thrush. You have to gargle and rinse your mouth with water each time you use it. So glad to hear you have been doing well without the Pred.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hi Carmela, Flovent is very effective to help you breath and clear up that wheezing, etc. I also found out if you are prone to sinus infections and bronchitis, which I am, it seems to ward that off. Thrush is very uncommon but you must do what you feel comfortable with....Have a great day....Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's pretty good advice. maybe you should check into it! In the meantime, you have the right idea! Relax and rest and take care of yourself!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Carmela, do try the Flovent, it's true it can encourage thrush, but if you rinse your throat out after inhalation (just gargle and spit with regular water) and either eat live yoghurt or take acidophulous regularly, you wont get it. This does work for me, I used to get thrush (both orally and vaginal) all the time, but now I never do, no matter whether I'm taking pred, antibiotics or I have high blood sugar. Use the Flovent, your breathing is important!!!
