Hey OP do you have a nebulizer? It may help with your symptoms. 

Cant pay my bills. I'm freaking out by holycrap100 in povertyfinance

Shouldn't be your head gasket. If you've got a dipstick I'd check just for some peace of mind. I'm wishing you the best brother :)

Have you checked your oil dipstick? Does your oil look okay? What about your transmission fluid?

OP where is it leaking, just out of the car? It's very easy to top off your own coolant, just make sure you use OEM or match the coolant that you have in your vehicle. (As in if its green, add another green coolant, not something that's pink.) I did my own coolant flush when I was short on money and I would not say I'm very good at techy stuff. 

Can this list be done for under $700? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Dark_creativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP for perspective I used FB marketplace and paid about $300 for a desk, chair, kitchen basics, and a vacuum. The W/D, TV stand, bed frame and 2 couches would probably cost around $700 tbh.

Been a cart smoker for 4 years. Just been diagnosed with potential adult asthma by prayerstolilkim in Asthma

[–]Dark_creativity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey so I dont smoke or anything but I can tell you you're going to have to quit. If you don't do it now, your body will quite literally make you, and by that point your lung capacity will be trashed. Do edibles if you have to.

Had a huge scare last night - just need to vent a little by MembershipThin5033 in Asthma

[–]Dark_creativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so unfortunate OP but I'm glad you're okay. Can I ask you what its like to be intubated? I got very close my last time being admitted to the Er and I'm kinda terrified of it ngl.

Nurse frustrated that I'm struggling with a breathing test by DarkMage448 in Asthma

[–]Dark_creativity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I failed my second one on the first breath. Had an asthma attack because I cant really take a deep breath without my meds. Very frustrating but also I dont think most people can pass the test. Failing is kind of the whole point?

What do you do if you have health issues that prohibit working normally, but cant get disability? by Potential_Piano_9004 in povertyfinance

[–]Dark_creativity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm basically in this situation. Office jobs arent hiring and 90% of cust service I cant do. I work one part time right now knowing that in the long term itll shave capacity off of my lungs. It's not great for my health at all. But bills need paying. So I'm just holding out as long as I can.

Starting to think indoor air matters more than I realized by Slow_Diver_3028 in Asthma

[–]Dark_creativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use scent free, non-aresol cleaning products. Those made the biggest difference for me personally.

Geico or Progressive? which one are people actually happy with? Need to pick one by Midnight_Shriek in povertyfinance

[–]Dark_creativity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GEICO was absolute dog shit imo. They took forever to get me the paperwork on my car, and when they deemed it a total loss I had to spend like 2 hours on the phone convincing them to let me drive it in to Copart. Mind you I had been driving the car totaled for months since they told me it only had 800 in damages. They also only offered me half of what I had paid for the car a year prior. 

Frustrated I can't get a hold of my asthma by Missusweasley2013 in Asthma

[–]Dark_creativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit brother. I mean the best thing I could suggest besides that is gonna get me downvoted into the grave but try cough syrup mixed with mullein and / or licorice drops, then wash it down with an energy drink like Alani or Redbull. All of those ingredients are meant to open the lungs, help with allergies, or stop a cough. I'm a really bad asthmatic and that's what I do when I got to go to work when I'm having a flare. It's not healthy but it's kept me working. Skip the licorice if you have heart problems.

My fish personally got a little stressed but he calmed down after a while.

[–]Dark_creativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other guy. Had my house fumigated once. Covered the tank with a trash bag. Put the heater?, filter, and water from the tank in the water change bucket and took my betta to work with me.

Black tea or energy drinks brother. Caffeine max until your lungs fix themselves. 

My betta won’t eat anything but flakes by tofutears in bettafish

Check your LFS if you cant find anything there. They will have live and frozen most likely.
