Dear Hannah...

Asthma is often present in people who have emotional problems that they

can't deal with. Sometimes , people say, they are tears cried inside.

I can't make you eat or live ,but have lost a 15 year old child and

don't want you to die.Your problems are deep and serious, I just hope

you can find something to hang unto for all the wonderful things

medicine can do, they can't make you live, if you don't want to. Asthma

robs the body of so much energy and if it does not have good fuel it's

just that much harder.

I am sorry if that sounds judgmental, I am not trying to be, got a

feeling that no one is harder on yourself than you are already.

My prayers and good thoughts are with you, may you find peace with

yourself and something to look forward to, some hope on the horizon for

you.to keep on going.

Write me privately, any time you want to , vent, rant and rage, it's

fine with me.

A big hug,

C-M

Hi Hannah,

I am very sorry to hear of your difficulties with asthma. It's

unfortunate that some people have to suffer from asthma as bad as

you - it must be rough to go through. Just wondering, are you on oral

steroids at all??? I know sometimes Dr's may add in oral steroids in

addition to long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled steroids.

Sometimes this can be of help, although I do not have personal

expiernce with this method of treatmetn as my asthma is much milder

than yours.

Anyway, as I have no words of advice really, I can offer you support

of you would ever like to talk. Please take care, warm wishes and

{{{{{hugs}}}}} to you.

Carly.
