A good idea. I've never really been interested in scrapbooking to be honest. I do post often on an asthma, prednisone and allergy group on facebook and on here.

and then you could share your booklets on asthma etc with your local hospitals or drs offices

I could. I just don't really have the patience to do all of that. I can't get to stores easily without taking the bus, walking or taking taxis. I do share articles on various health topics on facebook groups and on here though. The prednisone I am on has really been affecting me. I haven't been sleeping well at all.

well you could use just items you have around your home and then when you do go to the dr etc is when you could share the book/bookler with others

I could. I had a good time at the mall seeing a movie. I went today because Friday and Saturday are going to be high pollen days.

Just checking in. Howdy.

Welcome back redvelvet! Good to see you!*hugs*

Thanks! It was hard to keep up with all the boards and I would get tired honestly. Things are winding down (but my anxiety is winding up)...I still have to finish my paper and my studying, a few hours left. And I'm on the internet! Eeks! How was your day?

I'm sorry you anxiety is winding up!*hugs* My day was ok. My asthma was bad for a while but it got better. Today, I'm getting some groceries and I'm going to try to vacuum the carpeting. I hope that vacuuming doesn't bring on a bad attack. I can't do it too often because of my asthma. I hope that your day goes well.*hugs*

kerchief overd nose and mouth helps while cleaning and don't forget to take a shower afterwards

I wish I could cover my nose and mouth but when I do that if makes me feel like I'm suffocating. Vacuuming wasn't too bad. I've never showered afterward except when I clean the bathroom. My asthma wasn't as bad today.

yeah I have had that problem with masks-or even a kerchief..it is called keep it covered for as long as you can and then scurry out of the room to breathe :)

Do you have problems with thick sticky phlegm building up in your airways and not being able to cough it out? I use saline in my nebulizer and an expectorant syrup. I try to drink lots of liquids. Mucinex isn't sold here. I get lots of inflammation in my chest which makes the phlegm worse. I've been feeling really miserable!

actually as of late if I keep clearing my throat and I actually am able to bring it up-little balls of phlem...didn't use to work unless I took cough meds

I can bring up a little phlegm that way but most of it goes down into my bronchial tubes and sticks there. :( I had to go back up to 40mg of prednisone and to slow down the taper to every 7 days instead of every 5 days. I'm glad my family doctor got back to me.
