Asthma

Ok since surgery i have noticed a huge improvement in my asthma.. But this past week i had a cold and possibly one of the worst asthma episodes i habe ever had. (went to the doctor and am now on 3 different asthma medications 2 of which are steroids):mad:and i hate taking steroids but i have no choice... basically the doctor said take the steroids or risk going to the ER.. and i know the importance but still don't like doing it.

I'm not usually a complainer but I'm just having such a hard time with it right now.

Any words of advice would be much appreciated..

I was just wondering how many of us bandsters have asthma.. and if we can have a little support thread for those who do..

I have asthma just had my first attack this past JUNE and I was scared to death. My son has asthma and has had it since birth so i know what the attack looks like but i had no idea what it felt like. When I had my first attack it was a rude awakening the feeling is nothing like what i thought it felt like.(hope that makes sense)

I say all that to say I havent been banded yet but i hope to God my asthma goes away with the weight loss.

An asthma thread would be great

Yes an asthma attack is a scary thing... just the worst feeling when you cant breathe...
