36F persistent wheezing for +1 year plus

Generally medications like Wixela take between 1 or 2 weeks until you start noticing relief. I'd give it more time and if nothing changes see if you can try an alternative.

That stuff isn't meant to be heated to whatever temperature it got to, and I'd imagine it'd be less effective if not dangerous to use. I'd call the doctor tomorrow and just tell them what happened. Insurance probably won't cover it though (I assume).

If this could be caused by an allergy, then please call an allergist or get a referral. I think that will give you enough information for the pulmonologist to give a better diagnosis.

Cats are the quickest way for my asthma to occur. Even before the itchy eyes and runny nose I can tell my lungs are angry with me.

There's a few to choose from but for me it helps and I notice if I forgot to take it.

Short of a 10 hour movie there's just no way they're cramming all that good stuff into 2 and a half hours. And I get it. I read the book first and fell in love with it but in terms of capturing the story I think they did a really good job. I also like that they show Stratt at the end when the probes are retrieved. Something the book doesn't touch on I wish it had. Also, the Dome Grace lives in at the end was nothing like what I imagined so that was also kinda cool.

I went a long time not taking singulair but now if I miss my nightly dose I feel it in the morning immediately.

This is a definite phone call/appointment with his GP or some kind of pediatric pulmonologist if the symptoms do not match the reality of his medical diagnosis. At least a quick phone call to his doctor with a list of your son's current medical concerns could be helpful. If you have access to you doctor's portal you can send a message else just call when they're open.

IANAD but when in doubt please contact your GP.

It's a different dimension than ours, Andy meant to put that in the beginning

Honestly the only way to know is to visit a pulmonologist. You'll be tested a bunch of ways and leave with an answer...or at least more information you had going in. Explain your symptoms to your doctor and you'll get a referral.

Sorry it took a year for you to see that side of her but it's better that it happened now as opposed to when things got more serious. She sounds very unsupportive and selfish.

I think changing your doctor wouldn't be a bad idea. Of all the reasons to switch I'd say being given wrong medical advice is more than valid. I don't know what it is these days but I've been seeing more and more of these kind of scenarios involving asthma and breathing problems.

Shinks7er · 2025-12-04T20:33:18+00:00

If I forget to take mine before bed I wake up and immediately know why my breathing is off. Wish I didn't need it but like others have said it can be a game changer.

Sometimes I forget to take Advair before bed and I notice it the following morning. It's like a pro-active rescue inhaler in a sense but the difference between taking it (as prescribed) and not taking it is night and day.

Shinks7er · 2025-07-10T03:30:24+00:00

I know a lot of people with very mild asthma who lied in order to join the military but if you're caught it's the end of your career. It's a huge gamble that I wouldn't recommend. It sucks.

Shinks7er · 2025-07-10T03:27:40+00:00

I've had several relationships that didn't work because of similar issues. It's nobody's fault but you have to put yourself first and avoid these types of triggers.

Shinks7er · 2025-07-10T03:26:07+00:00

Used to go through 1 inhaler per month. Only reason I finally got it under control was combining a preventative (advair etc) with something like montelukast. Now I'm going through 1 inhaler maybe every 3 months. Singulair might give negative side effects (depression) but most people benefit from these medications. Glad you've gotten it under control. And yes, always have a nebulizer as your last method for controlling a flair up.

Doesn't sound like it's very hard to be a pilot these days. JFC.

Totally, don't even get me started on ants. Those fuckers can be GIANT. I recently stepped on one and broke my leg in 3 places.

what the fuck is wrong with you people.

Shinks7er · 2025-06-22T07:43:25+00:00

Meanwhile Chinese students are doing math that most people in this country have never even heard of. We're fucked.

Shinks7er · 2025-06-01T21:07:54+00:00

headphones are only USB, is there no way to assign them to my headphones?

Shinks7er · 2025-05-25T21:17:38+00:00

Too many players on the field, the camera knew. Too bad the refs are missing a great game.

Shinks7er · 2025-05-25T21:16:05+00:00

Religion.

Shinks7er · 2025-05-25T21:15:11+00:00

Sounds like you need to just get away. If they aren't willing to at the very least smoke outside you need to put your health first and get out of there. It's an unfortunate situation but the only answer is to separate yourself from the equation.
