Denise, I did get into the allergist. That didn't go real well. I went in and told him how I felt. I told him the symbicort seemed to have a bad effect on me. He went on to say, maybe you should see...
Oakley, Thanks so much for the encouragement. It is so hard to keep your head up when you feel like something is seriously wrong. I try to have faith. I do try to keep on track of following Gods...

I didn't do the nebulizer yet. I was so sore all day from the tight cough yesterday. Short of breath a lot but not quite as much trouble breathing. I have been so down about all of this. You sure...
So far the symbicort and albuterol inhaler have made things a little better. Will try the nebulizer today. I did watch the video on xolair. I had the blood test that showed my allergen level somewhat...
Denise, I had another horrible day today. Went to my regular MD. Told her how frustrated I was. She did a Spirometer on me, gave me symbicort and did the Spirometer again. I only improved by 2...

Albuterol does help. I just have a problem with steroid inhalers. I have been told it isn't Chronic bronchitis. Ashma falls into the COPD category. I don't get short of breath more on exertion either...

Denise, It is hard to resist all those foods we can't eat. I don't seem to know what the spasms are. They may be the feeling I get which is when I think something is stuck. I do chew my food up well...
Dear Beareilly, The surgery is not that bad at all. I am 13 day post surgery and hardly sore at all. I had it done laproscopically. I also had it done hoping the severe gerd was causing my ashma,...
Denise, My eating is going ok. I had a bad time today. My husband and I went out and I had a bowl of lemon rice soup with pita bread on the side. I go about a quarter way through and the food felt...

Denise, Today I have been experiencing a lot of my shortness of breath issues. I am not sure if it is related to not breathing deep due to pain. I know of a young lady who has had the surgery twice...
Denise, Today I tried to eat some pizza bread. I didn't quite chew well and suffered for it. I cut the piece smaller and it tasted great. I am not able to eat much either. I know I can eat more then...
I am glad you have researced so much. It has really helped me out. I have used a nebulizer. I am out of meds for it right now, but maybe will ask for a prescript ion. It really only bothers me lately...
