Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi Sorry I havent heard of the book but have tried many things to try and cure my asthma and nothing has worked for me. In fact I had a medical yesterday and was told they will have to help me as the amount of medication i use is to much for a women of my age. Having to use a nebuliser 3 times a day to just be able to function is very hard and is and will prevent me working a normal job. What type of asthma do you have ? I have brittle chronic asthma. Do you also have to pay for your prescriptions? I would like to start a campaign to take to downing street to get us inculded on health grounds for free prescriptions , if you are on long term incapacity like me you have to pay for them. Asthma is not considered a life threatening condition by the goverment.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi Dianne, was interested in what you said about nebuliser. I have Bronchiectasis(lung damage) and severe chronic asthma. On a bad day I nebulise Atrovent and Ventolin together 4 times a day. When I have a bad attack the nebuliser is a life saver, I can't breathe until I get on it. Saved me from casualty many times. I agree about free prescriptions, asthma is life threatening at our level, trouble is so many asthmatics it would cost the Government a fortune. I buy an annual season ticket as each prescription I have is usually 7 or 8 items. That saves me a bomb, it annoys me my Gp will only write small prescriptions for nebuliser stuff, I have to get top ups every couple of weeks. Why I can't have several months worth I don't know. I'm lucky enough to work from home so I can nebulise whenever I need. Regards June > Hi > Sorry I havent heard of the book but have tried many things to try and > cure my asthma and nothing has worked for me.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hello June Many thanks for your email like you I agree with all your views. I also buy the annual pre paid prescription and get my medical stuff monthly. I am also finding the cold weather is a major contribuation to the increased attacks. I will try to start the ball rolling this end, I think people like us who depend on medication to function daily should get our medication free? Well enough of me moaning I am 45 and developed my asthma after a diffcult 10 months nursing my husband with cancer and the day he died I had a severe attack and like you it nearly tok my life and since then so 10 years now my life has changed alot. I havejust started a training a course and that is for 16 hours a week and that is going well for now so lets keep our fingers crossed.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Dianne lovely to cyber chat with you, I'm 50 and think my asthma has worsened due to exposure to cigarette smoke and starting menopause. Had a grim day today coughing all day! That is so sad about your husband, how old was he? I know stress is very bad for asthma and I wheeze badly if I get upset in any way. Do you have children or are you on your own. Where do you live in UK, it would be nice to have someone else to talk to who understands the problems asthma brings.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hello again June I am 45 have 2 sons they dont live at home anymore, is 24 and at Bedford University in his final year and currently doing teacher Practice in a local school. He loves playing basketball and that is his ultimate aim to play for England. My other Son RObert will be 23 onDecember 2nd and he is a perty animal, he is engaged and lives with his girlfriend. He works for the railway 12 hour shifts so dont get to see him very often he also lives about 35 miles away. They are both my pride and joy. I live on my own, I have always had dogs but 2 years ago hada house fire and lost everything including my 2 dogs of 10 yrs, my fridge freezer caught fire in the night it was the first time in my life I thought the end was here, I climbed back into bed asI was trapped, yet I am here to tell the tale. I havent worked since as I have been treated for PTSS but I am on the mend now. I have just moved house and at last started to feel a little more happier in life. I live in Northamponshire and would love to meet up one day and have a girlie chat and then we could see each other it is always nice to put a face to the voice. Well if you are still awake June I hope this gives you alittle insight to my world over the last few years.
