Yes it does leave you exhausted you need to give yourself time to get over it. It is scary when you get an attack but it's important that you rest as it takes a lot out of your body.
I can so totally relate to not being able to go to a loved ones' new house because it was previously owned by a pet owner! That is a constant problem for me.
It's so hard when an exacerbation like that kicks of months of suffering and struggling. My asthma is brittle too, I think. We don't use that label in the states but I googled it and I fit the criteria of the type 2 brittle asthma. I'm on so many meds and still uncontrolled. I just started Xolair and am really hoping it helps.
It is SO exhausting, I agree. The constant merry go round of feeling awful --> doctor's visits --> more meds --> feeling too tired to socialize or work --> feeling anxious and hypervigilant all the time --> more doctors visits ---> more meds is so overwhelming and all-consuming.
I empathize and you're not alone! Take good care and get some rest this weekend-
I was diagnosed with severe brittle asthma 2016 first attack and had to go on ecmo....since then 4 more attacks always ventilated....and I can honestly say my life has turned upside down....but even tho exhausted and symptoms can take over ... positive thinking is a must .
