Health: Bringing Sexy Back with Asthma

Posted on October 3, 2008. Filed under: Health and Wellness | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

I’ve been out of work all week due to a severe asthma attack that we can’t seem to get under control. I may end up in the hospital over the weekend if we cannot get my breathing under control shortly. I’ve done two nebulizer treatments and am on a super high dose of prednisone, and still having a very hard time breathing.

When I picked up the nebulizer a couple of hours ago, I had to pay out of pocket. Insurance Co. wanted me to drive to Lynnwood to go get it at their “preferred” place for medical supplies. Crazy. Driving 30 miles during an asthma attack is NOT realistic. Seriously people, just pay the $125 in order to try to prevent an ER visit…

TMI detail: don’t say i didn’t warn you! This is “cough variant asthma” where I go into uncontrollable coughing fits, and often don’t stop coughing til I throw up. I also lose bladder control when I cough so hard. I was joking with Luis a bit this morning that I’m bringing sexy back with Poise pads.

I could use the power of prayer right now, as this is a little scary.
