my asthma was undiagnosed unless i was about 17, when i entered the fuculty of medicine. the smell in the dissecting room was over peared, in my childhood i used to have hay fever especially during summer and spring (pollen grains allergy), iam also allergic to any caffiene containing food (tea, coffee, niscafee even coca) and many other food allergies.
the problem is from dust offcourse any anything with offensive odour.
anyway i started my treatment with ventoline in attacks and as a prophylaxis before entering the dissecting room, sometimes it worked and other times it didn't. anyway i passed the forst 2 years in collage hardly with asthma and it became worse in the third year. iam now taking ventoline every 4 hours and meflonide (corticosteroid) twice aday to control asthma. it is better now as i stoped all those drugs and iam trying to avoid anything that triggers my asthma i only take ventoline on demand but that wasn't what my doctor prescribed i still have chest wheezes and cough because i stopped my treatment by myself.
as a medical student i studied all this in pharmacology so i know exactely the side effects it begane to be more obvious, hypokalemia from ventoline caused me muscle cramps that persist for days, i became more nervous and irretable. and the real disaster was from corticosteroids they are immunosuppressive drugs they masked my infection for a whole month so i got bacteremia after all those i decided to stop my treatment also it was so bothering to me to take inhalors 8 times per day. and everyone keep looking at me saying oh poor, that was so disturbing to me. i don't know how to deal with all this and i know if i didn't continue my therapy it will get worse.
i now can say i need help that's why iam writing here i thought group therapy will be much helpful to me.
wish to hear ur advises
