Have you been taking any NSAIDs (Dicloflenac, Tramadol, Ibuprofen, Aleve, etc) for long-term? I had something similar a few years ago that was caused by taking Ibuprofen for my arthritis. Once I stopped taking it, my breathing got better. IDK, just thought I would tell, you in hopes it helps. π
@dolphinblues This is interesting I haven't taken any of these recently and I'm allergic to ibuprofen and cocodamol xx
@CBFSQueenxx I am sorry you are going through this. I really hope you find answers soon! π«
Sounds to me like you have a bacterial infection. Is your phylum colored? If so see your doctor and get tested.
@Kenzel no it is not coloured xc
something is triggering the rise then. Some allergen exposure. You can try going on singulair, that kinda helps mine. Also a weird home remedy. Get therepeutic grade frankincense oil off amazon and then put it in one of those oil diffusers, the ones that you put water in and it comes out like a humidifier. Frankincense was found in studies to reduce eosinophil concentrations in tissues. I use it for my eosinophilic folliculitis and my breathing and it works
@Doc_Eosino_Thrill_Ya omg thankyou!! This sounds like a great idea xx
@CBFSQueenxx if you combine it with eucalyptus oil its even better cuz i opens airways
have had paramedics round several times, no crackles in my chest to be a chest infection. And have had a chest X-RAY for Pneumonia xx
I would call 111 immediately sounds like you might have an infection or pnemonia please get it checked.

Why are your doctors refusing you asteroids. I would be livid. If you need a prednisone taper, you need it. Fight them. Other tips, asking for a bebulizer script as the meds get further into the lungs. Eucalyptus. Removing potential allergen triggers like rugs, curtains etc. Vacuum out floor vents and clean any fans. Humidifier. Find the triggers. Sleep with 2 pillows. Take an antihistamine like zyrtec. Try steroid nasal sprays like rhinocort. Best of luck
@Doc_Eosino_Thrill_Ya You know at the doctor's their is always one doctor who is a complete t**t, well I've spoken to him unfortunately twice in a row ππ I've just finished a course of steroids so he won't give me another as clearly they didn't do the job, they didn't but it was helping me feel atleast a little better even if they didn't cure it. They won't give me a nebuliser at home as they say I'm too young ππ We have purely laminated floor and humidifiers are on. I'm allergic to all antihistamines, don't ask π π And can't take the nasal sprays due to disformed cartalidge in my nose ππ I'll take your advise on the pillows and the fans though and the curtains xx Thankyou for your advice xx
@CBFSQueenxx I had a nebuliser when I was about five for about a week . Itβs annoying when drs say that I will help you but the only make you feel worse about yourself.
@CBFSQueenxx ive had a nebulizer since i was 2 years old? Im so confused by that. Are you on a steroid maintenance inhaler? Your asthma is extremely uncontrolled by the sound of it
Apple juice with Apple cider vinegar 1 cap, tsp of cayenne, turmeric, and ginger and an elderberry supplement to boost your immune system with Warm tea. Also, make sure the house doesnβt get too warm and stuffy for ease of breathing.
@VirgoJourney thankyou xx
