I feel terrible still out of breath pains in every joint and now not sure of what to do i feel ill

If you are unable to breath properly you need to see a doctor. If you think its urgent call an ambulance, if not, try and see an out of hours doctor or go to A&E. Dont take chances as asthma can deteriorate very quickly.

When you see your own doctor I think you should mention the conversation with the other doctor about fibro being all in your head. She/he wouldn't say that if they had it!.

Take care and let us know how you are xx

Oh sounds like you've had a terrible time of it all,i suffer with asthma and also C.O.P.D. I have a nebulizer given to me by my hospital,i use it 4 times aday, every day,you should enquire at your local hospital if they do that there, it does make a whole big difference and puts your mind at ease knowing i have my nebulizer there for when i have an asthma attack or my breathing is very bad.Maybe your asthma nurse or doctor could give you advice, try and get a doctor who listens and takes you seriousley, love and big gentle hugs to you xxxxx

as they have all the equipment there get tested out quickly

Wish you the very best and hope you feel better soon

I feel for you and think you should get the help you need for your asthma first and try and forgive the ignorant doctor for his/her ignorance, I too suffer with asthma and find getting upset by anything makes my breathing worse. So take the advise about getting your breathing sorted as a few days ago if breathing and my heart beating wasn't automatic I would not have been doing either because of the pain I was in

gentle hugs and get breathing better soon, but make sure you deal with this ignorance when you are much stronger xxxx

Morning danhan,

I have asthma and i used to be just like you, my lungs were terrible, i had chest infection after chest infection and i used to go to a friends to use his nebuliser.

I was smoking thats why i was so bad and i have give up now and i dont get that bad now, So know exactly how you feel with the not being able to breathe hun. It is the most scariest thing. You cant breathe so you panic stress and tense up and that will be doing your fibro no favours.

I take seratide now and it helps me loads.

You ignore that doctor hun, what an absolute a**e it makes me so mad.

Do you not have an asthma nurse you cans see?

You rest and take care hun, and i hope your breathing gets better quick.

big hugs, kel xxx
