Hopefully it is minor and can be fixed easily. I am just surprised she didn't test you for asthma when you get infections every year. Really surprised.

 I remember my lung functioning was tested one year with a device that I had to blow into,
 and even with bronchitis my lungs were working at 98% of capacity, so I never asked about
 asthma testing because I assumed asthmatic lungs would have functioned far worse.

When tested with that thing (peak flow I think), mine and GA's lungs are actually pretty good too but we both still have asthma. Maybe there is no definitive test for asthma, not sure.

 How were you diagnosed. what made your doctor conclude you have asthma?  :orly:

I had a few chest infections in a row (would get over one and then get another) and then I remember waking up one day wheezing and tried to go about the day as normal but this shortness of breath was audible so I said to mum I couldn't breathe properly. She took me to the doctor and my peak flow wasn't that good right then because I was having an asthma attack. Normally, it is the same as everyone else's. The doctor had a sample of Ventolin right there which I took and it relieved the wheezing.

I was prescribed Pulmicort (preventer) and Bricanyl(sp) (for acute attacks) and did I take the preventer like I should? No, because I thought I didn't need it. I just kept having attacks and used the Bricanyl until I learnt that using the preventer means I don't have constant asthma. Now I am on a different preventer called Seretide that works better than Pulmicort did.

 Thank you for the information, I'll definitely ask my doctor about asthma!  :thumbup:

That first line made me think of my grandmother. She made a real effort to do that. She did have a pretty sharp tongue.

Would have loved to have known her longer than I did.

 Today I politely declined an invitation to an Easter brunch.  I like the family that's
 hosting it, but I went last year and it ended up being about a six-hour day, which is
 a bit long for me to be out socializing.  My brother (who conveyed the invitation)
 remarked that both he and a friend of ours have noticed my tendency to "shut down"
 after a few hours of socializing.  I don't have sensory or speech problems but I do
 get tired and withdrawn and long to be home.  I am not a good guest for longer
 than a few hours.  Living alone is very beneficial to me.  :nicegear:

My dinner was awesome.



And thanks for the post above CBC, reminds me to tell my oldest to take something with her, if she wants to withdraw from the company at the Easter brunch tomorrow. I'll go for the shutting down, or ending up in Lego with my nephew and youngest niece.
