@Rokan You know what I mean 🤣

@BigRyanD 🤔huh?

@Punxi That I’d love to have!

@pituitarypendulum Teach me 😩

@MellyMel22 years of practice

@sstronaut Sometimes being different is better.

@SarahAndSamantha Oh my!!

@MellyMel22 yeah, one time I was gonna fly around the planet a bunch fast enough to reverse the flow of time....then I remembered the kryptonite so I just had to deal with the fact I dropped my icecream cone

@SarahAndSamantha Not the ice cream!!

@Degbeme Positive!

@MellyMel22 Why do I picture you doing this?

@Degbeme I prob would 😂

@SethGreene531 Oh man, that had to be horrible. No, I loved it but I was having trouble breathing. Eventually, it got worse. I remember running track with my daughter and feeling an attack and that I forgot my inhaler on the table on the other side of the track. I said to her, please go get my inhaler, and if I pass out, tell them it was my asthma. Poor kid, she ran so fast 😞 Fast enough to help though.

No, I went unconscious in and out during labor. The doctor insist that it was an anxiety attack because I was only 19 but a specialist to proved him wrong later. I knew after that when I felt the same exact spinning in the heat that it was something to do with my breathing, and I saw a pulmonologist.

It never went away. Even when I was in HS I kept going to the pediatrician because he was having chest pain and he kept doing EKGs and that was it. Everything was always normal.

That had to be horrible as a kid 😞 my brother was hospitalized for a few times as a kid and once since an adult. You’d think the history along would be my pediatrician looking into asthma 🙄

Yeah, my aunt lived on the 5th floor of a building with out an elevator, man did I feel it then running up and down them 🤣

@MellyMel22 God bless your little daughter, that's so sweet; she ran to save her mum!😟

It's frightening the 1st time it happens. The panic really sets in.
To your benefit, it seems like yours struck during late teens/early adulthood.
When you were better able to assimilate and express your concerns to those around.

Doctors who are poor diagnosticians, or don't listen to their patients, are so aggravating and far too common. How many EKG's indicated he should look elsewhere perhaps?? Plus, your brother's well-established history = familial trait.
Patients wind up having to rattle cages to get proper care and attention.
Till then, it's ongoing frustration and misdirection.

I'm sorry that was your experience.😞

Being hospitalized for it isn't fun. Luckily you skipped that.
Like your brother, I went in for a week with a bad cold as a kid. But never as an adult...his must be serious!
Weird experience when you're young. I had family with me though.

At 13, the Asthma disappeared for an entire summer, then slowly returned over the year.
Surreal being able to run for yards and only get tired, but not constricted.

Whoa 5 flights!! My legs would burn, let alone lungs.

Do you guys have nebulizers? They can really help meds reach deeply in a bad attack...saved me as a kid,

Shame ours is exercise-induced...always hated that. Some people are only triggered by allergens like dander, pollen, etc.


There's inhaled corticosteroids you can take that lessen the frequency and severity of attacks.
They make the blue "rescue" puffer effective. Without them, you progress towards a fatal attack the blue one can't fix. Not sure if you're on one.

@SethGreene531 My pediatrician never looked into anything else. He used to just say the EKG is normal. She’s okay. Funny enough, he was known to be a great Dr. My oldest saw him till he retired. I didn’t know I was asthmatic till after that.

Sorry you went through that. One of my boys was hospitalized for it as a toddler. He seems to have grown outta it, I hope.. A whole summer must’ve been a great break!

Each floor had two sets of stairs too 😩

I never needed a nebulizer, but my youngest two boys did when they were sick and younger. I have inhalers, but I don’t use them. It’s very rare that I use the emergency one and it has to be bad for me to use it. They gave me Advair, I started taking it and stopped. I think I’m just so used to dealing with it that I don’t need anything until it’s bad. I don’t think I have it as bad as most people do though.

@FreestyleArt Nooo 🥺

@MellyMel22 no worries. I use them for good reasons.

@FreestyleArt Well good. Long as you don’t suffer!

@Ambroseguy80 Yeah, I think you’re right. With WB especially.

@MellyMel22 I don’t think anyone else would have tolerated it.

@Ambroseguy80 I doubt it.

@Convivial Maybeee 🤣

@MellyMel22 maybe?
🤣

@Convivial 😅

@beermeplease The one time I almost did it it was gonna go side ways 🤭

@Some1somewhere For those who aren’t shallow, it’s all about personality. Not everyone sees things the same. Don’t look for it, I’m sure some day soon it’ll find you.

@ostfuidctyvm Look at you opening yourself up to some gross messages 🤢🤣

@ostfuidctyvm skillz yo
