I just had a severe attack about two hours ago, just another day in Paradise!!! I am very blessed to have the help of my husband! He has and is taking care of me so well. Sometimes I am bad and don't recognize my flare or start of an attack, it has been with me all my life and I guess I get sloppy now and then! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community!

Hello this was me yesterday, my husband realised before I did how quickly my asthma was going downhill and got me all set up with neb and meds and just was there for me. Still on it today, looking quite tired. Big thank you to all the lovely partners, friends and families that keep us going when it gets hard.

Hope that you are feeling a bit better, take it easy and be kind to yourself xxx

My husband has been the same way! My primary care Dr. finally set me up with a pulmonogist and today I went for pft (pulmonary function test) the complete one! Then I go for my consult and discuss results from pft and my history and go from! I got a little scared when during one of tests the tech said"uh oh " and asked me if I had my lips around the mouth piece, which I signaled "yes"! So we will see what the uh oh meant! It was during the gas tests. Thank you, my husband and children are making sure l am taking it easy! Had to use Neb today after the tests.Even tho the tech did Neb me for part of the test. Stay well and take care! TTYL! XXXX
