Cordelia ,'You're Welcome'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
askye, sounds like a good first visit. I see a new shrink in a few weeks.
Hil, that is seriously worrying. I really hope you start to feel better soon.
thanks, jen and David and amyth. It's a very different way to live, but there are definitely benefits. I feel a little silly that it's taking me this long to even make these small steps, but I guess it had to get bad enough to make me really, really want to change.
Hil, has anyone prescribed Albuterol (Pro-Air)?
Hil, has anyone prescribed Albuterol (Pro-Air)?
Yep. At first, it would help when I used it when I was having trouble breathing, but the past few weeks, it's done little to nothing.
Happy birthday, Jilli!
Can you take codeine?
Can you take codeine?
Yeah. Any dosage high enough to make me stop coughing also completely knocks me out, so it's only useful at night.
Is the steroid inhaler helping? Or maybe you need a preventive inhaler as well as a rescue one for a little while?
I fail as a doctor.

The steroid inhaler is the preventive one, the albuterol is the rescue one. I've been on the steroid one for two days now, and the only difference is that now I'm coughing up a lot of mucus, while it used to be a dry cough, and I don't think that has anything to do with the steroid. I'm not sure what it does have to do with, but it doesn't make sense for the steroid to have done that.
No, that's not the steroid. Maybe it's just running its course finally. I'd give it a few more days. I know how awful it is, though -- once I was so bad I ended up in the ER for an adrenaline shot, and I would do just about anything not to repeat that experience.
