I had an asthma attack this night, and without my brother-in-law’s ventolin, I should have gone to the ER. At least, I got motivated to send a mail to a lung specialist (I let it rest since I moved more than a year ago).
Please, don’t be like me, take your appointments if you materialisticaly can. Fight the execution difficulty.
I’m sorry, man. Asthma fucking SUCKS. I hope you can get medical care soon. The thing that helps me get through if I don’t have any meds left or if I’m between primary care docs, is Primatene Mist which is an Epinephrine inhaler you can get over the counter. It’s not great, but it’s saved my shit more than once. Not giving medical advice here, this is just something that helped me.
Yeah… it was the first one in a very long time, and probably a weak one because one ventolin inhale this night seems good enough. It was like a tingle in the lungs, but breathing at best half capacity. Regarding medication, I still have some, but I struggle to take it (maybe some neurodivergence, I don’t have any other explanation…) or even keep it with me when I have it so I guess that even free medication would not help ^^’ (also, I’m in France so probably different regulation)
