I can sympathise w/both of you. I have COPD, too. I just stop breathing sometimes. Not fun. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I can definitely relate to Ruthie and anybody else that has lung problems I have bad asthma and when I get sick its worse so they put me on steroids too. I take Advair for daily control but sometimes it just doesn't seem to work for me. (((((Ruthie))))) feel better soon!!

It really is quite unpleasant isn't it. I try not to whinge too much because I've caused it myself by being a smoker. After a chest infection I thought was going to kill me not so long ago I got scared enough to finally give up smoking. Day 58 and counting!

lipstixgal · 06-23-2010, 06:20 PM

I have asthma it was bothering me this morning after walking the dogs maybe the humidity or pollution I live in Northern NJ which is close by NYC so that could be it but I'm moving soon so I won't have to deal with winter anymore. Got really sick this winter for like two weeks straight, on prednisone and antibiotics, can't take the cold anymore!!

Rockinonahigh · 06-23-2010, 08:06 PM

Ive had asthma for years,had it as a kid then it went away till I was in mt 30's when one day it took me down and I spent a week in the hospital geting over the attack.Now I finaly am on advair along with an inhalar called pro air.I still have probs with it in hot or cold weather,today I got up and was out of the house by 9:30 puting out job apps but bytime it got to ten I was off someplace that was hotter than hell..I really didnt think I was going to make it back to the car and the ac,I did but my lungs feel pretty sore at the moment but not something I need to see a doc about.Tomorrow I have an appoint with my doc he is prolly going to blast me for being out in this 101 weather.I shouldnt be smokeing again but stress got to me,I know I just have to NOT smoke cause its not good for ppl with asthma.Years ago I was on some meds with steroids in it which caused me to blow up like a baloon,the doc said the meds im on dont have steroids but im wondering if hes lieing like a dog.With all the exersise I get and watching my diet I should have lost more weight.Aftre I see my regular doc I go to the orthopedic to see what he can do for my neck/back injury..I want this thing thats eating me alive to get lost and leave me alone to live a normal life if possable..or close to it if I can.You all take care with the weather like it is..just too hot .

ruthie14 · 06-24-2010, 04:13 AM

Thanks every one. I am feeling much better. The meds have kicked in and I actually had energy last night.. first time in over a month I felt normal.. relatively speaking lol. Still gonna take it easy during this heat wave though 5 days of over 90 degree heat and it's not suppose to end til tuesday. urrggggg. No outside activities for a while I'm afraid.

Lipstixgal.. walk your dogs as little as possible before 10 am. My allergist says thats when the most pollen is around.

Hope you all are doing well in this heat!
Have a wonderful day folks.
Ruthie

Thanks Ruthie glad to hear that you are feeling better!! I usually walk the dogs at 6 am and then at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. But with this heat we don't go far just around the block I can't take any chances...moving out of NJ because of pollution and cold weather in September some time so that should help with the asthma and allergies.

Lady_Wu · 06-25-2010, 05:05 AM

The heat's even reached WV! The temp has reached-gasp!-90 degrees! (I'm from MS/LA where the temp is considered HOT when it's over 100 degrees.) Yes, the town is even handing out free lemonade, an old tradition in "the air-conditioned city."
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay cool and out of the thunderstorms!
Ruthie, I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better. Lipstix, I don't know what to tell you about allergies, except to stay inside, lol. They've bedeviled me all of my life. I hope you get to feeling better and maybe find a med that helps!
Namaste,
Lady_Wu

Hey all!

Haven't been up to much lately. Enjoying the World Cup - was surprised by Italy's loss but am glad the U.S. is doing as well as they are.

Am heading out of town for a few days and I don't think I'll be able to check in here.

Everyone have a good weekend. Hope to see you soon!
