I have asthma, Cillaliz. I know how scary it is. I hope you get better really fast.
My mom had an inhaler, also, and she didn't have asthma. I think they can be useful for other breathing ailments, too.Now you understand why I stay home and the rest of the family goes to the family reunion. I went so many times and always struggled to breathe. I just can't be in the midwest in the summertime. I am allergic to something there.
DR Cillaliz - I've had breathing/coughing problems brought on both by pneumonia and allergy-induced asthma. The inhalers sometimes work and once I had to have a shot of something called Kenalog. Hope you get some relief (and some sleep!)
Honestly, I feel so much better in the Arizona summer heat than I feel going to the midwest.The pills and the inhalers didn't even work in Kansas in the summer.

Kansas? Are the summers dry there? One summer we went from Michigan to Arizona & I was much happier weather wise.

I've always had trouble in the summer with the humidity. I think it's why I really don't like summer.

Kansas? Are the summers dry there? One summer we went from Michigan to Arizona & I was much happier weather wise.Kansas is hot and humid...just like Iowa.
And prone to tornadic activity
My problems started on a day where the dew point was about 80 degrees, which is extremely high. Our heat index was over 100 and it literally felt like you could move the air with your hands it was so full of moisture
