Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hello all, sorry , I have had so much trouble with scanner etc, i think I have mastered it all now. I have 2 printers 2 scanners and have been using them for 5 years, no trouble, but suddenly, somethings are just doing their own thing, lol can you tell me which article was a bit jumbly? I will repost . , I was asthmatic since a young woman( now aged, lol 60). I used to get embarrased 50 years ago, but oh heavens , nebulisers, like hearing aids, glasses, false teeth, are just a way of life now adays. No one gives a darn, maybe people would be more receptive and learn something if you stopped hiding things. If these are friends, workers , family etc, I,m sure its worse for them, wondering why you drop out etc. Please , there are millions, billions with asthma who would die without their nebuliser. Don,t need to miss out on anything , thats why they make hand bag size, portable, lightwieght ones that are smaller than a lap top to carry. I carry the light weight one in the boot of the car, and when shopping etc, If my puffer doesn,t work quick enough I go to car, and take nebuliser in to any shop, chemist even the post office and ask to sit down and use it. My grandkids 9 of the 13 have asthma etc, and most of their schools have nebulisers, each kid just has in a sealed plastic bag, their mask or mouth piece, attached to tubing etc, and their own meds. Go off at anytime to use. # of my grandkids play socer, 1 is a real star, they have their nebuliser on hand at the club, and its not the first time they have lent it to someone in trouble, then cleaned with eucalyptus oil etc. , you would be so much better off sharing the problems with your friends, they will be privelaged, some probably use a nebuliser them selves, and you wouldn, know. They may use one morning and night, or seasonally, they may only need a puffer, at times when out etc. they may take it as we do, just as another part of their life, and have their ways of managing so well that you don,t even know. Many times at Bingo, where I used to take my mum, someone would have a dreadful attack, be unprepared, and had left their puffer home, people from all round the club would offer assistance. Just a matter of strilising later etc. Please don,t lose any more time, fun, by being so secluded from good friends, this will spoil your life. Think of the thing( nebuliser, puffer whatever, as a pair of reading glasses etc. Others truly would,nt think twice, unless its totally new to them, then you are sharing and teaching at the same time. People will be so much happier to know the real reason you don,t participate in some of their regular fun activities. As I say, I bet you find others have used a nebuliser or puffer, just you don,t know, and they probably never needed to say anything cos they see it as normal, and controlled in home hrs etc. Lee I agree with you, I would say claudia would probably benefit heaps, even if only using saline, and you don,t need a script for saline. However the fact she hasn,t asthma, doesn,t necessarily matter either, cos they do prescribe ventolin puffers etc for non asthmatics. You can purchase over the counter, lots of smokers use a puffer, to help ease their chests. Hope I haven,t missed anyone, or anything. , lets hope we hear your out there having fun, and have shared this with a friend. Cheers hugs, Sandy _________________________________________________________________ Read, write and reply to Hotmail on your mobile.
