Just back from the inhaler nurse. I've to increase my puffs from once, twice daily to twice, twice daily. Turns out I'm on a low dosage. That's great, but I've had this issue almost a year and the last inhaler had no effect, I'm just super miffed I would be given a low dosage for my 2nd attempt as it were. I'm on a waiting list for a respiratory department (I think that was the name - I find it hard to catch what people say sometimes and end up just agreeing to keep the momentum going - what could possibly go wrong with that?) Failing all that, I've to make another appointment in 6 weeks time. Health is wealth? I feel bankrupt![]()
Is the one they've upped the dosage on a preventer inhaler (the brown one, mine is Clenil Modulite)? Have you also got blue inhalers (reliever)? Why has it taken them a year, you can die from an asthma attack?!
I spent the best part of twenty five years using inhalers but not really believing I had asthma because it was originally diagnosed when, aged around thirty, I said I coughed at night and my chest was a bit wheezy. Had an asthma attack a year or so ago and literally thought my time was up, it was terrifying, the blue inhaler brought me back from the brink.Was given a blue one (no effect), now taking a pink one. I still hope it isn't asthma, but another symptom I described she says is typical. I'm too old to be getting this. Bringing my blue one to training just in case.
Anyway my top arrived - that's the main thing!
u ok hun?
work stuff. it's fine I've made a batch of cocktails now.

That being said; my gran had asthma, my mum has asthma, my siblings have asthma, my daugher has asthma and so does the granddaughter. I was always going to get it and all the years of smoking delicious fags probably didn't/don't help.
