RE: well...i did it to myself...

[Guest guest]

I really don’t know much about peak flows. My doctor never really gave me an asthma plan so I think I

need to call and get one. I do

know that my company has an outside company that helps manage asthma and they

suggested I purchase a peak flow meter and I did. I have used it a couple of times and the best I ever get is

450 on my better days. I haven’t

checked it on days I seem to be struggling. I’ll email myself at work to call his nurse for some more

detailed direction.

I had

to go and say Id been out of the ER for 4 months didnt I? I ended up in the ER

tonight, with a really sneaky asthma attack. My ONLY symptoms were that

my chest was tight and deep inhalations gave me a bronchitis type of

pain. My peak flows were kind of all over the place today too..540 when I

got up, 610 after AM meds and ventolin. This afternoon I spiked a fever

and my peak flows dropped 100 pts...so we went to the ER. Im on pred for

5 days and no work this weekend.
