      You know I never told you but I enjoyed your fishing story. I read a lot and that held my interest. YOu have a knack for writing. I should have already told you, but I bug-ot (that's how my daughter used to pronounce forgot). Sorry about the delay, but at least I finally told you. Hope you are having a good day. Debbie

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      Starting pulling my hair out of the crown of my head when I was 11ish and have continued since. Have folicle damage that has resulted into a mass regrowth that is pure white.

    • Close Asthma
      Type: Adult Asthma

      I was diagnosed with Asmatha when I adopted a puppy from the pound in 1993. 15 years later, she and the asthma are still with me. HOWEVER... have had major success since January and will follow up with below in the "treatment" section.

      Treatments

      Singulair Working / Worked
      Was taking it with Symbicort but found the symbicort was enough on it's own. But may start back with it as with pollen season kicking in, I may need it.
      Symbicort Working / Worked
      I was going through an albuterol inhaler almost once every two weeks and suffering with jitters, racing heartbeat, etc... And in January, I found a new doctor as I moved out to the country and he said that was unacceptable. He immediatley put me on a regiment of Symbicort and singulaire. I have had the same rescue inhaler now since January (It's now the middle of April) and can actually leave the house and not panic that it's not with me. I love this medication!
