don't be an idiot

[Guest guest]

I almost died once from fire ant stings and had no clue I was allergic to

them.  So I keep epi twins in my purse, bedroom and kitchen.  You never know

what might bump into you.

Are you taking xopenex?  I think that is the way it is spelled. 

Looking at all the various posts, it is interesting to me to see the various

combinations of medicines.  I have been on the same four for about 7 or 8 years

now and since my asthma is pretty stable, I doubt my doctor will change it

anytime soon.  Even with the xolair, if I stop any one of the four (like when I

run out), I can only go for about three or four days before I begin to notice

the difference.  I take singulair, advair, spiriva and allegra.  I have

pro-air hepa albuterol rescue inhaler, and I keep the vials for the neb in case

I need an extra boost, which is almost never.  I do take the nebulizer with me

when I travel and my doc insists that I keep a series of prednisone in my purse

at all times.  I am supposed to have an epi-pen, but after two years of not

needing one, I didn't get another one since my co=pay is rather high for the

epi's.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I get the third set next Friday so it

will be interesting to see if the fatigue improves. I am not using inhalers,

hardly...... maybe once a day? I can't wait to get off some stuff.....it' s all

too expensive. I see my doctor on May 10th so I am going to try to get off

Bravana or at least switch to less expensive perforomist. I am on singular, some

allergy pill that starts with " x " nasonex, proair,and bravana. I just don't have

and energy and I am a very athletic high energy person.....I am goijg to swim my

two miles this weekend and when school gets out do my usual 5/6 miles a week.

May be I am just so out of shape after being immobile since november....

have infusion centers here in Arizona, but I am just a beginner and have lots to

learn. I am going in next week to see my allergist and find out how the paper

work is going. I have been reading the posts for a few weeks now and I am sure

all these wonderful people will be there to offer you support and guidance if

you need it. Marilyn

get my first 2 shots. My dose will be 2 shots every 2 weeks. I am nervous, but

my guess everyone was at first. My pulm makes me get them given at the infusion

center at the hospital. So I will be getting to know those people well.
