I too have had asthma all my life, and find this time of year to ALLWAYS be the worst for me. I went to visit my Grandma a few days ago, and was suddenly hit with the worst Asthma I have had in ages, (combined with a cold), and ended up staying there two days later than I had planned , simply because I couldn’t breath. I had stay very still laying down for those two days, because moving , eating , or talking left me gasping for air. It can be very frightening, and hard not to let the fear creep in when you feel like your lungs just may burst if you don’t get some air fast. Lucky I had both my inhaler and epipen with me ( though I hate taking either of them, as they make me feel very shaky , dizzy, and often sleepy), but it’s the only way to get through it sometimes short of heading to the hospital of coarse. My Gran was great, and took good care of both me and my son, and was very understanding… but like you , I couldn’t help but be angry with myself. I wanted to run, dance, play in the snow! not sit , trying to fool myself that these small bits of air I am gasping for will do me just fine thank you very much I find the moisture in the air, the molds , and dust to be some of my worst enemies, and was always told to move someplace warm and dry by the doctors….but then I am sure my body would only think of something else to complain about , so whats the point! ;) Hang in there, and know you are NOT alone!and perhaps one day soon, they will find a cure for this disease, and much of what we speak of , will merely be in the past
Much health to you , and deep easy cleansing breaths.
