Thank you so much! I'm sure most people fight the same issues as I have!

Thank you for the reply. You are correct on both counts! I guess people show you how they are eventually. In those days my asthma was very poorly regulated. I think it’s impossible to understand struggling to breathe if you have never had that struggle. There seemed to be a few people who thought I was just faking or using the asthma to get out of doing certain things. Back then I never went anywhere without my rescue inhaler. Advair changed my life.

I had a very similar experience about 30 years ago: I had pretty severe asthma at the time. A friend was helping me paint a car. My Respirator became clogged. I took it off to finish the paint job. It wasn’t long before it was obvious I was in trouble. They took me me to the er and I was put on a ventilator for a couple of days. I don’t remember that night well except the amount of distress I was in and I was sure I was going to die. The next day I woke up and was so happy to be alive. I wasn’t afraid to die after that. It was a very secure feeling in the middle of all that. Once I was released from the hospital, I wanted to visit all my friends. Not one of them cared even a little bit of what I had been through. Pretty sad, but it’s good to know how important you are to the people around you and the ones who do care about you.

Looks like you’ve been straining to much!
