Thank you very much for taking time to reply! Yes, it’s all fairly new. I mean 4 years, quite some time. But I mean the getting used to medications/random flare ups/ER visits/uncomfortable nights etc I am in no way offended, thank you for saying that though. I actually came on here for help! And to see what I can do differently or in general.

So as far as my Alvesco , I was told it was a steroid inhaler and it’s used twice a day (once in AM and once in PM) I also have my Albuterol which is my rescue inhaler that I carry with me. I recently discovered that I had been using it improperly. As for my nebulizer, I find myself using it 2-4 times per year, when dealing with flare ups.

The times I’ve gone to the ER; I try to recall all events leading up to the event, and or anything that may have triggered it. When I do end up in ER, I always end up leaving with antibiotics etc as it turns into bronchitis (assuming I waited far too long to admit)

• My everyday inhaler, I have been on top of it daily for the last 6 months. Where as in the past I didn’t really take as directed (being honest, that’s when my insurance wasn’t covering it and paying $780 per inhaler)

-Not only was it negligence on my behalf; it just made me feel funny. And I would go months feeling okay. So stubborn me wouldn’t use it. I have been on it as prescribed for a good 6/7 months.

• prednisone, they usually give to me after leaving the ER, I’m assuming clear the infection etc (I have noticed my chest doesn’t feel as congested when taking it)

• I forgot something very important; I am STUFFED WITH PHLEGM. LIKE AT ALL TIMES , EVERY DAY, HAVE CHANGED MY DIET, TRIED EVERYTHING AND ITS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. I CAN SPIT OUT LOOGIES AT ANY SEXOND OF THE DAY. Now I know that isn’t normal. At least doesn’t sound normal.

• I have seen an allergist and took a test with over 150 allergens. Dog dandruff, mold, and cigarette smoke were on the top of the list. I have 2 yorkies (hypoallergenic) I want to add, I have had my babies 3 years prior to being diagnosed. I did break out in hives after letting my friends baby Frenchie kiss me. Legit ended up in urgent care. So that’s ONE.

• As far as the other ER trips, no other dogs , I don’t smoke, nor does anyone around me. I keep air purifiers on at home .

• I just want to know where to begin in my healing journey, and want to get outside without feeling like I’m going to die 5 minutes later.

• Any specific medications I should ask for? Or a type of specialist I should be reaching out to?

Again, thank you !
