Its been a while since I last wrote. Longer than I normally leave it. Its been quite busy with one thing and another. I had clinic which went ok. I give up hope now with clinic as nothing really comes out of them other than keep going as we are and we will get there.… Continue reading Bit of an Update: clinic, home ints and the rest.

Clinic is coming…
I'm oddly apprehensive about going to clinic this week. I think it is because of how things have been so far this year. Its been a really odd period of time since I last saw my consultant in clinic. I do have the luxury that I don't need to go to clinic that often as… Continue reading Clinic is coming…
When your friends don’t even understand.
I must say recently things have been going pretty well. My asthma has been relatively stable. I have found that it is now more stable but stable at a lower level. My peak flow sits regularly at 320 compared with before where it would spike up to 550 but then be as low as 200ish… Continue reading When your friends don’t even understand.
Asthma a rare disease??
On the 29th February there was an awareness day for rare diseases. Asthma is one of the most common rare diseases out there. Its rare in its own very special way. It is not in the same category as some of the obscure disease like EB or Battens which are rare due to so few… Continue reading Asthma a rare disease??
Returning to work in a fog of smoke.
I have been back at work now on a phased return and it is going fairly well except for one part. When my chest feels tight I do find it a bit of a struggle to get from the car park to the hospital. The staff car park is the furthest out from the hospital… Continue reading Returning to work in a fog of smoke.

For years I have found I have had to battle and prove myself to my sports coaches if I am wanting to play in a team, also prove myself to teammates that I won't let them down if they pick me over another player who would 100% be able to last an entire match. I… Continue reading Acknowledging one man and his team.
Back on my feet
After not having the best of starts to the year its now February and I am determined everything from January will be a learning curve. I need to stop looking for answers to my never ending list of questions about what happened and why it all happened etc. I need to accept that it happened… Continue reading Back on my feet
No wonder asthmatics don’t go to hospital early!
One of my previous posts I titled as the most terrifying experience. At the time I thought it was, but sadly it was not and last week it went to a whole new level of scariness. I had not been discharged long but I needed up needing to go back to hospital. It all started… Continue reading No wonder asthmatics don’t go to hospital early!
Dealing with side effects
Living with pretty unstable asthma side effects seem to be something I contend with a lot of the time. I sometimes feel I take more medication for side effects of stuff than I do for my actual asthma. Prednisilone gives me the most side effects but I have been relatively lucky that it has not… Continue reading Dealing with side effects
Importance of Friendships
One thing I have found since my asthma has got worse is how important friends and friendships are. You know your good friends as they are the ones that no matter what time it is or however often you are in hospital they are there for you. They are the ones who know what to… Continue reading Importance of Friendships
