Question regarding my own health for all with Asthma

I agree. When you have symptoms that your doctor isn't paying attention to or you are getting worse, you must seek other opinions.

I know you've been reading the asthma thread. If you haven't read the latest posts, you must. Doctors need to try different meds, counsel lifestyle changes (they probably won't), to get some improvement. You must read threads, copy articles that people refer to and go armed with questions. There is nothing wrong with requestiong a second and third opinion. Don't stop asking. It is YOUR life. No one will care like you do.

Saveferris and Nightwriter, i would honestly love to get a second opinion

but in the UK it doesnt work like that, you cant book appointments with different docs, you have to go where you are meaning my own doc plus only a few thousand people in UK have CF so there are not many CF Specialists here

Unfortunately ill have to stick to my own doctor, but i would love to get a second opinion!
