At a lose end.

Hi all, first time for me to post onto a discussions although I often like to read other peoples issues but never have the courage to post a reply, 8 months ago I suffered a severe asthma attack where unfortunately I was admitted to itu for 10days and since then my life as changed, ive since had a further 4 itu admissions and numerous hospital admissions. I'm 27 with a 9 yr old son and I can't leave me house due to breathlessness, i feel useless on times, I feel its taken my independence, I have fantastic family and friends but they really don't understand, I'm on so much medication., home neb, 50mg pred, uniphillyn, 4 inhalers, therapeutic antibiotics, my consulant as even got my on anti acid meds as there as been research this can help with brittle asthma and broncecist, sorry for moaning its nice to clear my head and hopefully speak to some ppl in similar situation, I'm feeling really sorry for myself these last couple of days and this is unusual cause through all this I have tried to remain positive and not worry to much when my Dr says I'm a very sick person and there's no more meds I can take at the mo. Thanks for reading my rant.
