Melbourne Asthmatics

[chef_stagea]

Hi all,

Im adam, moved to melbourne yesterday from adelaide.

Currently havnt got an import, but have had 3 stageas over the past bunch of years.

Anyway, the real reason im here, im a fairly bad asthmatic, and am having a few issues.

Wouldnt mind seeing a doc, and as we know many many of us have got it. A google search didnt show much light onto asthma specialists.

If someone has a place they recomend, im in ringwood area for next few wks, but can travel! City is probs good so i can go there once we move, as i work on bourke st.

Thanx boys n im sure youll be as helpfull as the SA people...

Oh and no im not a crows man!

I've always just gone through local gp they sell ventelin at chemist without prescription if that's what you need

[chef_stagea]

yeah i do need to look at it and start managing it much better. cheers mate

If its really bad, the GP might prescribe you this purple puffer. Morning and night, and have to wash your mouth after taking it. This stuffs strong and if taken properly, it can get rid of asthma all together.

Seretide.

I used to not be able to leave the house without my reliever, had to have it next to my bed at night etc or I'd get anxious and then tight chested if it wasn't there.

Started taking seretide regularly and now I don't even know where my reliever is, or the last time I needed it...

[PENGUYEN]

^ That's the one. :]

My asthma is non existant because of it.

You cant get rid of asthma forever you just may not suffer the symptoms

ive had seritide as a young kid, and hated it for some reason. think its time for another round

[GD2ILA]

is it the preventer? i remember having a brown one i think when i was a kid. But now it's like my asthma is gone. but still a have a inhaler in my room and in my car just in case. i can still remember the last time i had an attack and didn't have a inhaler, never want to go through that again. did any of you guys have the machine with the mask that you put a clear liquid in and the machine makes the liquid evap, that you breath in?

Nebuliser.

And yes I did

[alr33x]
