Asthma

When I was a teeny tiny child, no younger than 1, no older than 3, my mom gave my Ibuprofen when I was teething under doctors instructions. Unfortunately, everytime I consuned Ibuprofen, I projectile vomitted and could fill a room with sick, I think mom even mentioned they had to have the carpet changed a few times. Obviously, this caused a chain reaction of doctors appointmens and the doctor deduced that I was an asthmatic. 

I began my asthmatic life on a spacer with 2 blue puffs and 2 brown puffs of the inhaler every morning and night. 

As I grew older, during spring and during autumn, my asthma seemed o get worse, this was when I got more attacks, and when I got an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. I remember my mom worked at my primary school and I was having an attack and she just began shouting at me and making me take my inhaler and all of my friends though it was so horribke but its always such a quick and effective way to calm me down before it gets to the point that I need to go to hospital. 

I got moved onto the purple seretide inhaler as I grew older and this 2 times morning and night really helped control my asthma during those bad months. 

I went through a rough blip when I was seeing attacks on a frequent basis and therefore had my seretide dose increased to the same dss my grandad was on for his Emphisemia. 

Luckily, I'm back to my small dose of seretide now and I have been attack free for a while with just the slightest pains with iver exertion or during the hayfever season which has always been a mystery to me. 

I like to be able to help other people who have discovered they have asthma and think it is going to change their day to day life, it is nice to be able to assure them than no, it doesn't stop you, I swam, played basketball, football and netball and frequently rode my horse and I didn't have any problems. 

Asthma is not a life changer unless you let it.
