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.
Acknowledging one man and his team.
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.

“Just relax and concentrate on your breathing”
I smile to myself as I write this post for a number of reasons. It seems apt to write this while I can't sleep because of my asthma and am sitting on the couch hunched over with a neb making it easier to breathe- I wish I could just relax back it would be so… Continue reading “Just relax and concentrate on your breathing”
Pharmaceutically Enhanced!
I read an article recently which challenged my thoughts on modern medicine and how I have become totally reliant on pharmaceutical products. I am so thankful for all the developments in medicine and where medication is now. Everyday I take a concoction of medication and far too many for someone in their late twenties almost… Continue reading Pharmaceutically Enhanced!
Tired of this now!
After a busy time away in Manchester and having a bit of an attack on the train back up to Edinburgh I was ready to just drop in a heap and I did for a couple of day. Thursday and Friday I really didnt do much other than using my nebuliser a bit to try… Continue reading Tired of this now!
