Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 What is cough varient asthma please? -- Cough varient asthma Hi group, I am a new member here but not new to asthma (:. I have cough variant asthma & take 2 puffs nightly of Fluticasone (250mcg). That has been ok for about 2 years & now my chest is tight & I cough at most anything that is in the air. I am susceptible to all the listed triggers except the emotional one. Have doctors appointment this Monday to probably increase dose. Does anyone else here have cough variant asthma? If so what works well for you? I had asthma for 10 years as a child then it came back two years ago. I am in my late 50's and hoping the asthma doesn't keep progressing.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Does anyone else here have cough variant asthma? If so what works well for you? I ================================== I do. It's a pain. What has kept the cough part away was advair twice a day but it took awhile for it to actually work. I still having coughing spells but use to have 23 a day now have 3 a week so that's help the best with coughing part. Your doctor will play around with things until something works for you mines been working on mine for several months before I started to improve. Much luck! HUGS!!!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi Queen Marie, Thanks for your reply. I will ask about the Advair. It is nice to hear from someone else who knows what I am experiencing. My coughing will stop when I get away from the trigger into clear air but you can't always do that Take care, ---------------------------------------------------- Hi ! I know what you mean and no you can't stay away from your triggers all the time unless you stay in sterile bubble and not live then maybe just maybe you'll be fine. Let me know if you have any other questions I know some things. HUGS!!!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 the other complication is diabetes i'm at pre-diabetes now. It also runs in my family. this is for advair. not everyone gets the side effects but everyone that's on it should know what they're getting into i personally need it right now I was having 23 attacks a day breathing or sugar so i pick breathing and working on the sugar this is no perfect medicine like there is no perfect person if you want less side effects you can try natural things but you'll have to stay away from your triggers no exceptions or your back where you started from i haven't figured out how to do that yet maybe our world will become more environment friendly in many years to come one can hope but until then gotta do what's best for your personal situation whatever that is.
