I love your glossary.... It is very good and meaning full. I can relate to

most of these conditions.

They made me laugh....

Hello,

To avoid confusion, I have begun a glossary....

putty = goopy mucus lungs produce. Can be coughed up and used to tile bathtubs

etc...

evil candy = all cortisol-derivative medications but especially prednisone, IV

solumedrol etc...

extra evil candy = Decadron

Super Glue = another word for Xolair

Asthma fairy = small critter that waves a magic wand and can make you produce

more putty without notice. Also makes you sob.

SOB = short of breath

Peak flow meter = 1) useful tool to measure lung fxn and track progress of

disease or 2) a little toy to play with like a kazoo or 3) a means to amuse

pulmonologists/allergists and well-intentioned ER docs.

Addy, Ron, et al.... I am sure you may have other important terms we

should add.

ps Pat, I want to thank you for all your help. We are so lucky to have you here.

You are a true wealth of knowledge.

LOL!!!!! I'll contemplate upon the magnitude of the situation, but

this is a hard act to follow!

You just made my day, Of course I amuse easily! (next time I visit my

Dr, I'm going to use all of these terms in a conversation like

everybody should know them, and then look at him with confusion on my

face when he wonders what I'm talking about, I'm so excited!)

SOP - short on patience, either from evil candy mood swings or from

being SOB and tired of people asking you to repeat yourself b/c

they can't hear you b/c you are SOB and don't have enough B to talk

properly.

Puffy face - refers to facial swelling caused by gross inflammation

from sinus infections and/or evil candy.

Lightweights - refers to people who have mild, intermittent nasal

allergies and complain about not being able to breathe or tell you

that they understand how you feel.

Good idea for the glossary. I will try to submit ideas as I come across

them. You should show us what you have from time to time.

Sr. ,

Ready for your next Asthma Walk? We have started planning it here in Florida

for September. I was so thrilled when you were able to walk it last year!

As for everyone else in the group. The American Lung Association in your area

are starting plans for the fall Asthma Walks. Some places have Spring walks.

Please get involved. Call them or visit them on line at www.lungusa.org. They

can use your help, ideas, and/or your participation in the walk itself. This is

one of the ways we are going to find a cure so that our children & grandchildren

have a better life without asthma.

Thanks for letting me run an add. I am currently on the State board in

Florida and am the President of my local board. I am passionate about lung

health and want the whole world to be better.

we use the word " spooo " in my dr's office. she cracks up all the time. if we

didn't have the " long term relationship " we do (i was one of her first patients

back in 1988, so we've grown together) she'd think i was a nut!!!!

Yes, Pat,

I have the next date for the Asthma Walk it is October 1. I am going to try

to get the pictures of me in last years and put them on the site. I am going to

try to get the towels on a site some where and have a way for others to see

them....

Thanks for your encouragement... I don't get much from the nuns....

As always,

Sr. Volz, C.R.

PS. I made it through Easter without incense and stay away from the lillies

and hyicthyns (those smelly small flowers.) That send me in asthma attacks. No

evil pills or hospital stays.
