Asthma attack that got out of control really quickly. Thanks to my recent chest infection, my asthma has been really bad as of late. I often get short of breath and need my puffer. But

Dealing with health problems

[sandalfon]

Hi. Thought I'd check out your journal and see what you're about. So sorry that you're having such a hard time, I once saw a woman die from running to catch a bus, she had a severe asthma attack and died on the bus. This was years and years ago but I can still see it as if it happened yesterday. I also have many health problems. About 13 years ago I had an on-the-job injury to both my feet causing the tendons to be severely damaged. I went through a year and a half of physical therapy but they could never get them totally back to normal. I also developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. The CFS is very similar in symptoms as Multiple Sclerosis and the Fibromyalgia is basically rheumatism in the muscles, which has mainly settled into the calves of both of my legs, making in very difficult to stand for more than 10 minutes or walk more than half a block on my best days. So I must use a cane to walk with and a mobility scooter (like a wheelchair with a steering column and power) to get around any large areas outside of home. I have also developed many smaller problems, such as arthritis all over, irritable bowel syndrome which is extremely painful at times (like having birthing contractions), and immune disfunctions (not HIV though). I just wanted you to know all of this because I want you to be aware that I do really understand what you are going through. I've also had a couple of times I was choking on food caught in my throat and I know how extremely painful it is not to be able to breath. Fred (vitki) saved my life both times by performing the heimlich meneuver. Oh, I also wanted to tell you that Fred isn't as bad as most people believe he is, he really doesn't hate all women, he just hates all the games that is caused by women and men that causes such a problem for decent, kind, sensitive men like him and he's so fed up with it all he slams people for it now. He just turned 42 years old and all of his life he's been hit with that same shit over and over again to where he's totall fed up with it all. I'm the one who told him to start caring enough about himself to try to put a stop to all the nasty behaviors from others by slamming their ass's and to learn how to just walk away and give up on them, he's still working on that last one. If you go back aways in my journal you'll find an entry where I talk about "Who I Am" and you'll read about my life journeys. That will help you understand why I won't put up with any bullshit from anyone anymore. Fred would certainly not be in my life if I didn't see the most beautiful human being I have ever met. If you ever got to know him in person you would probably see what I see. His IQ is around 140 or more and mine is around 120 or more. Fred is still stumbling around a bit when it comes to learning to bridge the gap between his intelligence and communications with others. But I am a very calm, stable, well centered person (most of the time, ha ha) and Fred is learning a lot from me too. One thing, please understand, that he is frustrated to the max about people putting untruths out there as reality and when he tries to show them real truth they slam his ass for it. For years and years he has only tried to be considerate and patient with the idiots who choose to stay stuck within reality patterns of their own making and not to want to see things from any other point of view. The patience is all gone now and he just slams the hell out of everyone who hits him with shit. Can you blame him?? I'd love to hear back from you as long as you don't get nasty and ugly with me, but you are welcome to point out anything that you feel I might be doing wrong etc. Bye.
