,

I had no luck with my family physcian. In fact he didn't even think

I had allergies or asthma. He sent me to a cardioligist, who said I

had asthma and referred me to a pulmonoligist. I really would

recomend that you see a pulmonoligist because they deal with thes

kind of illness every day and are usually more knowledgable. They

know what has worked for other patients of theirs and this

experience can help. I know I didn't get any help until I saw my

pulmonoligist. I'm sure there are some really good family

physicians out there, I just didn't happen to have one.

be civil and present my case. If that doesn't work, I already have a letter

typed up and being sent out to the ACLU and have a friend who works at a news

I am also going to have my Rheumatologist type up a letter stating my

Kirk,

The disabled world is still pretty new to me, but I have certainly felt the

brunt of ignorant people. The only advice I have is to find out if there is a

specific reason that they aren't letting you motor( dangerous for swimmers,

dangerous for you.....blah,blah,blah) or if they are just being jerks. They

could come up with any reason to cover their butts just to avoid a " disability

issue " . I mean its not like your going to be flying around causing wakes,

spilling oil, and pulling skiers.....for crying out loud! Find out if they will

allow a certain sized electric motor or if their could be some sort of way to

resolve this issue in a civil-like manner. If that doesn't work bring out the

threats and stand up for yourself........if their reasoning isn't legit I don't

see that they have a foot to stand on.....these things can get kind of ugly

though so stay strong and the most important thing is to stand up for yourself

and let your honest feelings be communicated exactly how you

feel them....remember you are working on empathy NOT sympathy from the naive

assholes! Get in there and fight for you and all the others who feel

cheated.......Who knows...maybe there are others at the same lake with a similar

problem and won't stand up for their rights....fight for them! I'm behind you

100%....let me know what comes out of it!

GOOD

LUCK, Josie

Yes, bought one last year can really recommend it, can use it anywhere

Many of the asthma meds such as albuterol can actually cause heartburn

or GERD which can then worsen the asthma, it's a vicious cycle. For

me I'm maxed out on both asthma and GERD meds, for the GERD I take

nexium twice a day, reglan three times a day and zantac nightly and

that still doesn't curb the reflux all the time.

Hi ,

I have acid reflux, which I don't believe is due to asthma or asthma medications. I am on ranitidine which stops the production of excess stomach acid, it's effective and has no side effects (apart from possible drowsiness). You need to avoid things that may trigger more stomach acid, such as alcohol, rich foods, carbonated drinks etc., eat more but smaller meals and don't eat late at night.
