About myself

[genemom]

I am new to this process and just wanted to let you know about myself - have been diagnosed almost 2 years - Am an asthma with multiple food (incl wheat allergy), med and enviro allergies. Throw the 50 plus years of being a smoker - Here I am -
Just coming out of an episode and and it has been rough - not just physically but also emotionally. I have been feeling very fragile and figuring some of my family, friends and co-workers do not really understand what irrates and makes my lungs sicker. I do use a PF meter and 2 weeks ago it was down at 120 - has come up some to 170 and I am working hard to have that improve - I walk and do the exercises from the Clinic I attended - I am still working in a pretty diverse job where I am very active. I am on Spriva, Symbicort, and ventolin using a an airchamber or nebs depending on where I am. Just finished 2 weeks on Ceflor and Prednisone.
With some luck I hope to retire next June - sooner would be nice.
Sometimes I have a lot of questions or just need to vent because I am feeling rather crappy.
Thank you for the welcomes and I look forward to your support and hope I can be a support to you also.

Hi genemom I see you got it figured out, we all need to vent at times and this is the place to do it....sounds like you are really active which is very good...their is a wealth of information on this site...If you do have any questions just ask and we will certainly try to come up with the answer...and like I said vent anytime, every time you do though we want you to try and laugh also...

Coco's right; it DOES sound like you're very active. That's GREAT genemom!

Venting's just fine....we all do it and need to do it. ALL of here certainly understand.

It's good to hear your peak flow has come mack up though I don't know what you normally blow. No matter; an increase IS an increase and it sounds you're doing the right things. Keep it up!

Just jump in here any time/place you want.
& again; WELCOME!
