Wow, thought for certain the farm was going into foreclosure about an hour ago, man, I awoke coughing up what little brains I have left, couldn't breathe or catch a breath to save my sorry soul, scared hell outta both me and Red, he was wagging his tail in my face trying to create a breeze for me, I think he was so nervous for me that he passed a bit of wind right in my face. Man, not being able to breathe is some scary business, grabbed my duolin inhaler and proceeded to medicate myself, had to force my body to do some pursed lip breathing which goes against the grain of thinking, kinda like dropping the nose of your aircraft to increase your glide-slope, I have no idea yet if it's OK to write like this in the message section or where it goes, but, it definitely helps to slow down my anxiety and assist me in breathing, ya, I know, do I want some cheese with all this whine??(LOL)

" That is what this forum is for. We are here for one another, and that means reading what you just wrote. We all have our bad times and if we can't share all why do we share any. You say whatever is needed to help you feel better and not panic.

I'm sorry this had to happen at night it sure does make for a long day the next day. Hope your cough stays away and your breathing gets better soon. Maybe if you drink some water or something room temperature or warmer it will help some. I wish I had the right answer but we can only try different little things that help us out. Hope the rest of the night goes better for you. "

" Boy do I know that feeling Jona. That has happened to me many times. I grab for the Combivent, hit it once..wait 30 seconds and hit it again. When it gets a little better I use the nebulizer. What am I gonna do when they stop making Combivent? Hugs, Laurie "
