thanks
good luck everybodyView Thread

my name is ed, i go by cwille in the community. I was reading your post and thought i was reading one of mine. I also have asthma, but my doctor say's it is cough variant asthma, plus
allergies. I have been seeing him now for 3 years, he calls me his problem child. He also told me just recently that we are out of options, that i need to go to the national jewish place in denver. But since i live in florida , my insurance company is sending me to the cleveland clinic. A little about me , i have been in the hospital 13 times since Nov, 2010. I have also been on all the meds and also off. I am now on prednisone again, it seems to be the only thing that works, i have a portable nebulizer that i use, i am a mailman so i have it in my truck , i use it usually 2-3 times a day. I am now on xolair, hopefully that works, i only have been on it for one month, it is a shot for people with allergies and asthma. suprisingly the insurance company approved it, it is a very expensive shot.
The cleveland clinic is supposed to be the second best resp clinic in the country , of course the first one is the national jewish, but i go where the insurance is going to cover. About work , some people just don't get it. I was embarrased at first , but now i don't care let them say what they want, i just go and do my neb treatment and hope they don't have to go through what we are going through. well i just wanted to let you know that there are people out there who know what u are going through and feel for u.
good luck

It's a lot to take in, but i just wanted to let u know that there are people who understand what u are going through, this is a good forum just to get things off u chest. i really wisht that there was something i can tell u

I know exactly what u mean, last year alone i was in the hospital about 10 times, each stay for about 5 days, and holding down a full time job is not easy. luckly my family is very
much understanding.So far my job has been pretty understanding also, but it sure does get depressing. I found out that just taking it one day at a time helps, not always , but most of the time.
god bless, and i hope you feel better.View Thread
