Hi

Just wondering if anyone else has cultured fungal bugs as a result

of using steroid based asthma puffers? How do you successfully

treat both your CF and Asthma. Kristy's normal asthma medication is:

Ventolin - 4 puffs as required

Serevent - 2 puffs am and pm

Atrovent - 2 puffs am and pm

Qvar (50) - 2 inhalations am and pm

Singulair - 1 tablet daily

Kristy takes pulmozyme daily for CF.

Kristy's GP increased her Qvar approx 4 weeks ago based on Kristy's

condition when he saw her. We were to continue with the higher dose

until she was better. Two days later she had a night in hospital

due to breathing problems which were remedied with nebulised

ventolin and atrovent. Kristy is much better, her cough almost dry

now but she still experiences chest tightness.

Kristy's specialist (we saw on Monday) didn't appear to be happy

about this and said to taper off the Qvar immediately as Kristy's

chest was perfectly clear and we're not going down the road of her

growing fungal bugs again. Last night Kristy again experienced

breathing problems and chest tightness, which required numerous

puffs of ventolin before it settled. Today she has used her

ventolin twice as often due to chest tightness.....I've made an

appointment to see the GP again on Friday because where Kristy's

asthma is concerned I have most confidence in him. Krsity's GP,

Kristy and I all believe she has asthma, sometimes I feel the

specialist doesn't believe it.
