Thanks everyone (and about my Dr....)

[Guest guest]

My thanks to each of you who answered my post. I'm not sure if I have

asthma, but I would like to find out. When I get an episode it can last for

half and hour or it can last for days with no relief. I usually get

episodes every two or three days, but there can be a longer time in between

them.

As for my Dr., I am searching for someone else. This man has been my Dr.

for about 10 years, and has seen my children come in with me for visits.

I've been pregnant twice while under his care, yet on my last visit to him,

which was because of the the hives, he actually asked me if I live alone. I

was stunned. I thought my Dr. would know me by this time.

Whenever I have gone to this Dr. in the past he has always gone to his

cupboard and given me samples because I have no medical insurance. But,

this time he was wrong. He never did any kind of tests on me for asthma nor

did any looking around. He said that it would be impossible to see anything

in my lungs because the kleenex particles would be too small, and even if we

could see them there was no way to extract them. I think he should have

referred me to specialist, and I think he should have recognized the hives

as a possible side effect from the Advair.

When I used the Advair, I did take it the way I was supposed to...finished

the entire disk each time. But, I only started a disk if I had a bad

episode. This was the way the Dr. told me to take it, or at least that is

the way I understood what he said.

I walked today for half an hour. It was windy and cold and the air was

damp. We live in Washington so that is nothing new. After walking I had

mucus building up in my bronchial tubes and lungs and I've been coughing now

for about three hours. Its not as bad as it sometimes gets though and I'm

hoping this episode will end soon. I'm definitely not taking any Advair for

it!
