Hi, Just a note to say "thanks".
Yes, I have lived with "asthma" 45 years of my 47 year life , so I know first hand how important it is "too get proper care and treatment" as soon as symptoms begin. I am scheduled to have "allergy testing" done by my Ear Nose Throat Dr. next week. I have had to re-schedule this appt. 2 times since you MUST be off of steroids for 6 weeks in order to be able to have the allergy testing done. About 2 weeks my husband and I went to visit "a neighbor" and needless to say her son and his 20 year old friends were smoking indoors and once I got home..I was "so sick", wheezing, hyperventilating. I went to the family dr. and they had to do me 2 nebalizer (spelt wrong probably) treatments. I was so sick from the "smoke" in their home. I had not had a back "asthma" attack since 2000 when I went to emergency room and got a "shot" to breathe better. Usually my "nerves" contribute to my "asthma".
sincerely, cajungirl
