Hi Glynis, hope things improve soon. I have good days and bad days but my asthma is mild. Lately I've been struggling but everytime I see the doc, chest is lovely and clear, drives me mad. I end up taking 20 puffs of ventolin (not all in 1 go!) just to get rid of the pain.

Take care

love Kate xx

thanks kate x

Hello Glynis

So sorry you are having a bad time. The asthma makes you so tired and the drugs make you feel rough too. But waiting for results is also incredibly stressful. So it's no wonder you are feeling low. Hopefully once you get some news you may be able to understand what's happening and find it easier to cope. In the meantime, it's just fine to have a grumble. Hope tomorrow is better.....

Hang in there. It does get better. I remember being a snivelling wreck on the phone to my boss when I was first diagnosed and it was all so bad. I've learned to cope with it now.

Sending a hug

hi hunni

i struggle just like you. fighting to breath on a daily basis. i completely understand you getting tearful. i was told only yesterday that i wasn't ready to go back to college and i went home and cried for 3 hours solid.

your not alone hunni. we have to stick this out together and hope they find some new drug soon. ive tried most of them and cant seem the right one to suit me, but ill keep trying and that's what you need to do as well.

dont give up it will get better
