felt good yesterday ... better than I have in months but today is completely different. Woke up feeling crappy, it's cold outside and feels kinda like winter( through which I stayed sick) and I'm already having some problems but not yet bad enough to need inhaler-yet!!! I always try to wait until I can't breathe rather than rip out inhaler when I cough because coughing usually leads to difficulty breathing and I'm still doing my rescue inhaler tooooooo much, meds have helped but I have 13 triggers and unless I move into that bubble that all of our significant otheres feel like we need to live in I'll just have to do inhaler and cough and try desperately to breathe and so forth... I love that I have all my friends here at DS because for whatever reason I have almost nothing otherwise... My mom still refers to my meds as " your allergy meds" some of them are for allergies but when she said that I was explaining to her about a recurrent sore throat I was having when my doc had me on advair ( I know she has to know that advair is for asthma, after all she is/was an RN) I figure she just doesn't want me me to have asthma-you can't die from hayfever so in her mind that's all i have!!! Such denial really doesn't help me at all.
