3/8/2007Wow, I'm feeling so good it's scary.(I tried to change my smiley face to good or even excellent but every time I do it signs me out) My asthma seems almost non-existent. My chest is still a...

3/5/2007I'm feeling pretty great today. It's amazing how a couple of good days can restore my optimism. Asthma? What asthma?I do have to fight against a strong urge to do something that I'm probably...

3/3/07Things are going along OK. I don't have any breathing issues per se. I still don't have much endurance but I have recovered from the problem I ran into in the license bureau. I hope this lack...

2/28/2007I have calmed down completely. At this stage of the game being angry harms me much more than it used to. I have enough things that trigger asthma attacks. I don't need to add to it. Busy day...

2/22/2007I don't know what hit me the other night. I have never had coughing, SOB, sweats and shaking all at once before. Maybe it was just fatigue. Whatever it was, I'm glad it's over. I was able to...

2/21/2007I don't want to wallow in my troubles and I'm sure it wasn't anything but I had to leave work early last night. I developed a clammy sweat, my hands were shaky and I shuddered as if I was...

2/19/2007I love days off. Rejuvenate and regenerate. that's the ticket. I'm able to breathe through my nose again and things aren't as labored. No gasping. Ribs are still a little sore,though.It's...
