Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I would certainly pre-medicate. An ounce of prevention . . . . . When you say that you are on the water, I am guessing that it's on a boat and you would not be able to return to your if needed. Me -- I'd take the nebulizer. Better that than to end everyone's night early by having to return to shore so I could treat myself or take a quick drive to a local emergency room. I don't know about you, but the cold is not a consistant trigger for me. I can walk out of my house with temps below zero and not have a problem. The next day, we may be in the upper 20's and it will hit me like a ton of bricks. Best of luck to you. I hope that things go so well that you just have a wonderful evening and don't have a thing to worry about. Mike To: asthma Sent: Friday, December 5, 2008 2:55:52 PMSubject: what would you do? Dh's Christmas gala is tomorrow night on the water and it's already below freezing tonight. We leave early in the am to eat breakfast at the same Cracker barrell we had Thanksgiving at then to hit the outlets, A few years ago I took my nebulizer IN to the Gala with me in a bag and put it under our table, didn't need it until we got back to the hotel. It was soo cold and windy and snowing then. They are calling for the same weather for tomorrow night. Would you just premedicate and hang on tight to the rescue inhaler and Xanax? Or take the machine in? I have packed all my scarfs so that no cold air leaks through lol so I'm hoping to NOT have any problems but would love to have your advise.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 even better! just leave it in the car until it's needed. i've thought about getting a power converter at home depot so i can plug my nebulizer into the power port in the car. i have the privacy and convenience of my car and the treatment i need when i need it.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 That's a great idea. You may want to check prices on Amazon as well. We have a Black & Decker that we bought for the same purpose before I got a battery powered portable. We paid about $30 for it. Did a great job.

Then you could respond with any medication as need- ed to control your symptoms or even an attack. In case of attack re- move yourself from the trigger ASAP, even if it means leaving where- ever you are and stopping what you are doing. Better to avoid hospit- alization and suffer social discomfort instead. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
