Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 , While I haven't noticed much difference in myself with Singulair, I have spoken to several asthmatics who have called it a " lifesaver " and swear by it. Most of the doctors I speak to consider it a front-line drug, right up there with Advair (which I *do* swear to, myself).

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I haven't noticed that it gives me shakes, but I'd recommend looking it up online to find out what the side effects are. > does it gives shakes? > > > >> , >> >> While I haven't noticed much difference in myself with Singulair, I >> have spoken to several asthmatics who have called it a " lifesaver " and >> swear by >> it.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Question for all? I have what is called severe asthma, and within the last five years it has gotten bad. I have been allergy tested, and have been having the shots the last year, but within the last four weeks it is the worse it ever has been. Mold, Dust, and trees budding all over the place here in Indy. Is there a climite that is good for Asthma suffers? My allergist tells me that Ariz. is not good because everyone is bringing in trees, and plants there. Someone told me salt air is good? What medications are you all on? I take advair one strength in the am, and a higher in the night. Allergra, singular, nasanex, astelin nose at night, now I am on Pred for 21 days, which I hate as it is a downer for me, but it is the only thing that has turned me around, but this is the first time I do not feel it doing this. Is anyone on anything else that might be suggestive? I had been on Zyrtec but that did nothing for me. I have coughing spasms and feels as if all the air is being sucked out of me. I have an inhome Nebulizer with alburtral, and also relief puffer with spacer. I do not know what else to do, but right now I can not even consider finding a job. I have no insurance as no one will cover me now, when my Nanny job ended so did my insurance. If anyone has any suggestions to all of the above, I would love to hear them. -- RE: singulair It appears to be a good medicine for many allergy-related problems.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Have your heard about buteyko breathing techniques or yoga breathing techniques,just try it,who knows it may work. check it out this site http://www.wt.com.au/~pkolb/buteyko.htm they have support group also.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hi , When I was little and grew up in Germany, I was send every summer to a different climate zone for my asthma, they considered the Atlantic, right on the water a good climate.However, it was always cooler over there, none of that 90% humidity... Also, make sure that your environment is as asthma free as you can get it, that differs from person to person. With some it's pet's, with some foods, featherbeds, cleaning products, even new carpets. I was on a lot of the same meds you are, but now do Ok on just a puff of Serevent, morning and night, pulmicort and occasionally use my albuterol inhaler. At times I take 1/2 of a theophylinne tablet ( cheap), to get me over a hump, ot use the nebulizer machine for a few days. It's working for me, but that does not mean it's working for others.... If you think of moving, I would not go to a humid or wet cold air climate. If you move to a region that get's hot, make sure you have an airconditionmer and never set to very cold.. It's tough, I wish you luck. On supplements, step up eating lots of citrus and green foods, those heal your lungs. Drink nettle tea if you have congestion from allergies, also take some supplement with magnesium/calcium/C, they are not expensive. Make sure that you have no mold in your house !!!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Be careful about the Buteyko technique. You may try it if you wish, but please be aware that there are no systematic or medical studies which have proven that it is of any worth whatsoever (in general, the theory behind buteyko is known to be unsound and, in a word, wrong). Do NOT use Buteyko as a replacement for standard therapy. If you want to try it as a supplement to your standard therapy, do so in consultation with your physician. Again: trying untested and unproven " treatments " which have not been proven in peer-reviewed journals is very dangerous. > Have your heard about buteyko breathing techniques or yoga breathing > techniques,just try it,who knows it may work. > > check it out this site > http://www.wt.com.au/~pkolb/buteyko.htm > > they have support group also. > > Greetings, > Senthil Kumar.S. > > > > > > > > > > >> Question for all?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 The doctor put me on Singulair about a month ago for my asthma/allergies. It hasn't totally cleared everything up but I notice a nice improvement. I don't get as out of breat walking anymore & when I do, I can catch my breath back easier. Also, I don't wake up in the night coughing & wheezing like I used to. By the way...I'm new here. (hope it's ok that I just jumped right in like that.) My name is Kay, I'm 28, from TN. I've had breathing probs. most of life but was only actually diagnosed with asthma about 3 years ago. :)Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hey, So far for me it seems to be working better than the ICS's I've tried. And it doesn't seem to be giving me any side effects. As for the price, not sure the difference. Never noticed my insurance reciepts. :)Kay > Hi, > Is Singulair most effective than Inhaled corticosteroid > steroid?
