Hey Everyone
Well.. I finally decided to try to get some help for my asthma after oh a year or so right (got to remember the first attacks that i had were when we first moved last MAY but the one that I finally got scared about was the one in october) so anyways they have started back up and I am like OK I cannot deal anymore I need relief. I feel like I am basically having them, fighting them, getting over them barely sleeping and getting them all over again and.. I am exhausted and can’t get anything done!
Last night I had a glass of wine while David was gone to do something another (not really sure what i can’t remember lol ) and i thought I felt one coming on and I was like o.k let me grab the pur mist and my scent pad and it will be alright this was around like. .maybe 7 or so…
well.. it helped but not like HELPED HELPED if you know what I mean. I started getting a bit panicked which I know doesn’t help… but it just was not having any relief. I had a cough drop, had the humidifier going, we changed the air filter just this week, vicks slathered all over me and I finally FINALLY was like DUDE FINE I will take a Primatene. I Was HOPEFUL That i could just take ONE Instead of TWO .. but after 15 min it wasn’t kicking it so I had to take the 2nd one and I was like UGH seriously?
Oh but wait- the freakin’ primatene NEVER KICKED IN as far as the brochodilator part. The other part of Primatene is a thing that starts with a G and it is a expectorant type thing for your muccus and I have taken it before independently but only for like a few doses because I COULD NOT SLEEP ON THAT STUFF.. anyways I finally was feeling better after multiple asks of should i go to the ER (and google that because it is NOT pleasant going to the ER with a Asthma attack-tubes, sticks etc)
I even contimpalted having the ambulance come and see if they could just make me be able to breathe ( i know that sometimes they can help and they won’t take you to the hospital) I was also spazzing because I was like oh snap I have had alcohol. But anyways- I finally after SEVERAL hours got a bit better and calm and then went to bed. I was awake 44089 times .. STINKIN’ G word med.
So I have used my pur mist about 100x today up till we went and ate Chinese, and I was O.k> then we get back home and i was trying to take a nap but I was like ugh wheez and whatnot. so.. I finally just gave up and called CVS minute clinic and was like I don’t know, i have never been diagnosed with with Asthma but I am pretty sure I have it, i am not having one right now .. will you all help/see me and they said yes.
I got my mom to come take me because she didn’t have enough cash money to give me for both a visit and an inhaler (we have money but it is snagged with a return we had to do) anyways- by the time we got to the one right up the road from the house they weren’t accepting anyone else for the day so we went a bit further and basically the same situation except the girl there was a pure freakin bitch and i was like OMG really.
Anyways I was back home by 5ish and disappointed but .. My mom is gonna take me early tomorrow and try to help me get this taken care of …So far I am doing really good.. it is 9 .. I am a TINY bit wheezy/uneasy but overall I am good. I know anticipation/panic can really get to you so.. but anyways.. I am excited to not maybe have to deal with this unarmed any longer
I prob will end up spending the day with my mom so .. that is fine.. but man i wish i could perk up and quit feeling oxygen deprived and get into something because it sucks to go through this mess.
Anyways I am off to chill a bit and go to bed soon ..more later of course!
