Just Keep Pedaling Posted September 7, 2011 Share My wife suffers from it. Most rides are not a problem but almost every race (MTB)is a big issue at the start with 400+ riders throwing up dust at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enticement Posted October 7, 2011 Share Its imperative to distinguish between irritation as a result of dry air or dust and exercise induced asthma.

Guest agteros Posted October 7, 2011 Share My friend recommended something to me that has changed my life.It is called Seritide. There is now a generic called Foxair (actually comes out the same factory so it is the same thing) Read up on the side effects of Seretide, and be aware of how it affects you. Seretide caused my son to stop growing, and since he is not using it anymore he started growing again. Seretide is NOT a magic bullet, just another medicine that mucks around with the body. For some the results might be good, for other it might be poison. Be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
word Posted October 10, 2011 Share Suffered with asthma all my life. Riding and being fit has helped significantly but I caution against self-medicating because something works for somebody else. You must see a pulmonologist who will manage your condition. It is by no means a debilitating disease if managed. I am on Alvesco and Serevent twice a day and Singulair once a day. I use Ventolin before I ride when I remember to take it. Always carry it with me on the ride in case but I dont think that I have had to use the Ventolin whilst riding in over 2 years.

Jaco-fiets Posted October 14, 2011 Share I have asthma as well. Its a major inconveniance. Even though i havent had a asthma attack since i was about 5 i still get tight chested frequently and whenever i realise i dont have my pump closeby i immediately feel anxious. This is obviously mental but it is a huge influence on my life. I have been on many tipes of cortizone pumps but i feel its all a bunch of bull***t. Is this foxair some tipe of cortizone?

TNT1 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Cool. Used to be every second cyclist had asthma, or "exercise induced" asthma... Now seems like you don't even need a TUE.The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has issued a new list of prohibited substances for 2010 and a new International Standards for Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE), which will come into effect on 1 January 2010. List of prohibited substances 2010Following questions from team doctors on this issue, the status of platelet-derived preparations (e.g. platelet-rich plasma, "blood spinning") has been clarified: such preparations are prohibited when administered by the intramuscular route, but all other routes of administration require only a declaration of use. Three stimulants – benfluorex, prenylamine and methylhexaneamine – have been added to the list of non-specified stimulants. Pseudoephedrine has been reintroduced to the 2010 prohibited list at a urinary threshold of 150 mcg/mL. TUE procedureAs of 1 January 2010, the therapeutic use of salbutamol and salmeterol does not require a TUE, but a declaration of use. Their use must be declared on the Declaration of Medication (D3) form by the player/doctor during a doping control. All other beta-2 agonists (including formoterol and terbutaline) are prohibited, so therefore still require TUE granted on the basis of the full medical report (see below). Application forms must be accompanied by a full medical file (relevant spirometry reports with values compliant with WADA requirements) as stipulated in documents 'Asthma TUE requirements' (amended accordingly). Declaration of Use procedureInhaled salbutamol (maximum 1600 mcg / 24 hours), inhaled salmeterol and platelet-rich plasma (if administered locally) must be declared on the D3 Declaration of Medication form during a doping control. Failure to declare may lead to disciplinary action in the event of an adverse analytical finding (positive result). No changes were introduced in respect of glucocorticosteroids (GCS) administered by non-systemic routes. Edited October 14, 2011 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
