I know there are a few of you out there...
while I am waiting for my new health plan to kick in (or rather myapproval to go through since until I get the one through my new jobkicks in I am getting my own plan) I am wondering if anyone has someadvice
Stress has lately been seriously affecting my athsma. Doctold me to keep using my servent and bronchodilater. Howeverfor the past week I havent had a full night of sleep. I havebeen waking up wheezing and coughing, tonight was so bad Shawn got upto make sure I was alright in the bathroom.
Been trying very hard to stay on top of my symptoms.
Taking cough medicine to help loosen the mucous in my lungs, muscle rubon my chest and back to try and keep airways relaxed, keeping myalbuterol under my pillow and the homopathic... drinking a cup ofstrong black coffee when I have wheezing (unfortunatly I HATE coffeewithout tons of sugar/milk not to mention it keeps me up) and keepingon top of my allergy meds (never had a reaction to animal fur and havebeen tested, but just in case)
I have recently purchased some essential oils which I know will helpopen airways when placed in hot water and the steam inhaled, justwaiting for them to arrive (you have NO idea how hard white thyme is tofind in an essential oil)
I know the weather here hasnt been helping... in fact Tuesday I couldnt leave the house thanks to the heat and humidity.
I have a 'throne' of pillows on the bed to try and keep me as verticalas possible while sleeping, and we have an ionic breeze in thebedroom.
This lack of sleep is seriously getting to me... and until theapplication is approved all I have is short term health insurance andthat wont cover my athsma
