Just a reminder to anyone suffering shortness of breath to register their mobile phones with the emergency services so if you don't have the breath to speak you can communicate by text message.
Www.emergencysms.org.uk
It 's a good service, but worth having a template/draft message with ambulance, name, dob, postcode, house name/number, severe asthma attack, on your own, meds. In my experience, if they need more info they text back.
Stay safe. SK
What a great idea SK. Thanks for the link. Hope you are keeping as well as you can be. Take care xxxxx
Thanks Sassy
I hope everyone has registered with their utility providers that they are 'vulnerable' customers and will therefor get priority treat ment?
