I try not to ask for prayer too much. But I'm really kinda put out right now. I went to the dr today for my asthma. Thursday night I went to go see Mark Lowry, and I had an asthma attack all the way through the concert. It was an hour and a half drive home, and I figured it would pass if I could just calm down my breathing. It didn't. I had run out of my inhalers so I didn't have anything on me. We thought about bringing my nebulizer in the trunk, but I haven't had an issue in a while, so we didn't think much more about it. The place reeked of church people wearing too much perfume/cologne and a lot of them were smokers and it was enclosed with no ventilation. It was bad. It was hard. But I made it through the concert. And we headed home. So today I asked to be taken to the dr. (Anyone who knows me can testify that it has to be REALLY bad for me to do that).
So I went to the dr. And he put me on 5 (yes, FIVE) different prescriptions for it. Because of the fact that I hate doctors, I try to go as least often as possible, often to the detriment of my health. Well, it didn't get any better. I wake up 2-3 times a night. Dr guy said it's probably because I can't breathe at night. He asked how often I wake up coughing or end up coughing at night. I said 4-5 times a week. He said that's because I am not getting the oxygen I need. Go figure. He looked through my history and told me even BETTER news. People who have asthma like I do have a significantly greater chance of it developing into emphysema. I don't smoke, so that's not a worry. But this is all very stressful for me. Add on top of it all that I have really bad allergies and can't go outside for extended periods of time in spring and summer because of all the pollen and grass flying around from people mowing their lawns...not to mention dust and ragweed and everything else that seems to exist in my world, including my dogs. I am pretty discouraged. Dr guy totally made me feel like I should live in a plastic bubble. I'm only 24 and I have to take all this crap every day just so I can breathe and live. That just ain't right. I know that people have it worse than me, and I'm not trying to complain. Just trying to help you all see where I'm at.
I would really like to be healed of this. No more nebulizers, inhalers, nose sprays, powders, allergy pills.... no nothing. Just me...breathing. So please pray for me.
