ASTHMA
I have had severe asthma since I was 13 years old, I have been put on medication and taken off medications for it since I was ten..... Ha Ha, that probably sounds stupid, let me explain. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was ten years old, I was not allowed to play outside when it was really cold or when spring came around. I ignored it otherwise, I only took Clariton. When I was 13 I had a major asthma attack, it got way out of control, I almost stayed in the hospital over night, the doctors were absolutely pissed off. I was in the asthma attack for 11 hours before I was taken to the hospital. Ever since then I have never been on just one medication, I have juggled 3 to 5 medications. One of the new ones I was just put on is Singular, which I am totally depended it on already:( Anyway I read on a webmd newsletter that Singular has been linked to suicide... It can also make you nervous and anxious... Oh Yes this is exactly what I need, not to mention I am on two other steroids and I take another allergie med. I go to bed feeling like a pill popper:( Then more into the article I read, that someone with asthma should, wash their dog once a week, wash any bed sheets once a week and make sure to dust once a week. OK I am a neat freak so those are no problems, but then I should rap my mattress in plastic, I should have a certain type of pillow and I should deep clean my house every week. Oh please cuz I signed up for a second job, I am sorry but I can not and will not sleep on a plastic mattress, nor will I put plastic on anything I own! I cannot believe asthma and allergies need so much work, I always have symptoms no matter what I do, but I can deal with them just like I have for the past 10 and half years.
