What is it really like to live with Asthma?

@Donmarie Yes, Yes, and Yes. I am exausted from doctor visits. Asthma is just one of my ailments so I see doctors for other reasons as well. What about you?

I am sorry your doctor is not sure if it is asthma or lung cancer? I would seek a second opinion and make sure it is not lung cancer.

My asthma is acting up this week and it's got me exhausted...

I was diagnosed when I was about 6 years old. Those were hard times for me and my family and I got traumatized from the countless attacks where I lay on the floor totally helpless and nobody knew what was wrong. Then finally one time they diagnosed me and now so many year later I still get scared whenever I feel my chest tightening. The worst thing abt it all is not being able to do the things you would like to. I am so sick of always going to the doctor/hospital but never getting answers on why my asthma got so bad and uncontrollable. My meds just don’t as good as they should and the doctors are searching for answers. I have and appointment at the hospital on Thursday, really not looking forward to it.

But you gotta do what you gotta do☺️

I was not yet 1 years old when my life changed me forever. I won’t ever know what it is like to be a normal breather. By the time I was 7, I had to leave childhood behind and grow up to pull my weight. I have been raised more by machines than actual humans. Happiness and Love were never beat into me, yes I survived growing in hospitals so that I could be beat to crap and tortured by the family. I don’t know if dying or living hurts more but I do know when I stopped breathing, I was pain free with no fears from family. My life friends are: coldness; darkness; loneliness; pain; suffering. They have been with me when no humans were. I have begged, walked, crawled til I could no longer. I have been at deaths’ door many times.I will share more as the time passes but enough of that for now.
