I admire those people, who despite of lack health or despite of disability make sports.
My only sport is… Running to tram or bus

Comment on The Recuperative phases of a severe asthma exacerbation by Stephen

Sounds like you’re experiencing the nasty side effects of prednisone , it really messes with your emotions. You’re definitely not alone. As you wean off the drug you will gradually feel better. The important thing is that you now understand what’s going on in your body. Unfortunately, most physicians don’t educate or worn their patients about the side effects of these powerful drug.

I can’t believe I have found this. I actually feel normal now! My asthma is normally well controlled until recently I have had an allergic reaction and apparently wind on the beach triggered the recent exacerbation?? However I thought I was going crazy!! I can’t stop crying. I can’t sleep. I feel like I will never get better! I ml now understand that this is all perfectly normal and the steroids aren’t helping towards these feelings.
It makes such a difference to hear others are experiencing the same things and that it will get better
I am showing this to my husband it might help home to also understand what is happening.
Thank you xx

Oh, my dear, it all don’t look well!
I’m now in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ex-Jugoslavia country) and there is season of grass pollen, but I feel quite well, because of good, fresh air (we are near mountains). There is a lot of people with different allergies and asthma, so nobody is amazed.

Hey, I think we should get you a beach house :]. While we’re at it, can we get you a private jet, too? It’s kinda like a bubble because it can fly around, but is much more fun.

Though I’ve already heard your plan of attack (I am so behind on my blog reading. Actually I came here to read your Churchill post again because I like that one ), hopefully you can figure out something that helps significantly! Grrr. (I totally concur of the yuckiness of the saline rinses–they’re so gross.)

Snorting steroids, eh? We’re such badasses, my friend. Hang in there!

Im sure BT helps those with milder asthma who have twitchy airways, but I would proceed with caution if you have truly severe asthma.

Well I was so happy to hear of anything that would help me have better days
So I did decide to have it done, went in for my first treatment and woke up
A hour later to find out nothing was done,, I had troubles with being put to
Sleep low heart rate and low oxygen level, so my family wasn’t for it to begin
With so I won’t be going back.. I have lived with asthma all my life and now
I’m disabled with lung disease .. This is the first time I had heard that some
Can’t have the BT done because they are to severe.. I would think I wasn’t a
Candidate. So before anyone jumps in make sure you research and let your family
Help you decide. It really scared my kids ,hubby an myself . I just was so ready
To feel normal for once . I will just continue living like this.

Haha, I know huh. The graphics on these new machines are pretty cool. When I first started working as an RT, ventilators looked like this . And there was no such thing as Bipap.

The RTs taking care of you must get bored, you do the work for them!
[And, why is it that a medical device has better graphics than my BlackBerry? AND a touch screen, yet.]
