On the desk I have 3 different inhalers, a peak flow meter (I’m between normal and 150 down) and I’m on day 5 of steroids. Yet for no reason and with no warning I seem to lose half my lungs. I literally cannot breathe in beyond a certain point. Up to that point is fine. No wheezing, no warning, just shut down.
No asthma nurse, dr appt again on friday.

Ever been mid-yawn and been unable to finish it? You have that odd feeling/sensation and there is that need to get the yawn, to complete it? That’s what I am like constantly. The ability to take a full lungful of air has just about gone but this extra stopping is worrying. Haven’t been this concerned about my asthma for years, many years.

It’s not the heat – it’s been coming on for a few weeks. And I’m not cyanotic at all.

It’s very very strange and very unwelcome. And breathing is a very tiring business indeed.
