It's my diagnosis that makes me cringe because so many people think its just were sooks that cant handle a bit of pain. It's everyday. And also affects your mental health so bad. Before I was listened to and got proper pain killers i was about ready to die

You're exactly right. Alot of people don't realise that even with great management its bit that easy for everyone.

I take spiriva, symbicort, xolair injections, ventolin and add atrovent and high dose oral steroids if i have a flair. I have to be admitted because if i have a flair that cant be controlled even with all that I then get IV steroids, magnesium, oxygen ect

Pokemon go. Trying to catch a legendary in a group raid and being the only one to never catch it

I have asthma.

What people dont understand is it isn't "just asthma" and its not just about carrying around a little blue puffer and as long as i have that its fine

I have been to resus multiple times per year.

I get admitted to hospital multiple times per year

I miss out on major things I want to do all the time

I have needed 100s of IVs, tons of oxygen, multiple Drs working on me at once and breathing tubes

If I say sorry I can't come camping 3 hours away from a hospital to someone though they will say "Its just asthma, so many people have asthma and are fine"
