asthma sucks
Nov 09 2009 15:13

Its been so long since my asthma acted up, I forgot how sucky it is.  I'm not bad enough yet to go to the walk in, I prefer to avoid that if I can. But I've been breathing like a phone perv for the last couple of days. Today is a bit worse, but I've made it thru work. I only have an hour and 45 minutes to go.

I live only a couple blocks from the walk in , so its handy if I think my o2 is too low. Its been years since that happened (stupid carpet shampoo).

I tried to take a walk, and while I can breathe better standing up, I still felt about 80.

I'm on enough drugs already. At least I'm off the tetracycline. Usually they just put me on a nebulizer and send me home with a script for an inhaler.

Most times it will clear on its own.

On the bright side the change in diet seems to be helping. No more afternoon slump, no more obsession with sugary products. Now if I could just get a decent nights sleep. I've been up since 3am, but I haven't had any caffiene since 9am. That has to be progress.
