And I thought I was bad....

[Guest guest]

I met a lady yesterday who is allergic to tobacco smoke so bad, that

she has to carry a small oxygen tank over her shoulder in a bag with

her all the time. Whenever someone lights up around her, or she has

to walk through smoke to get to an non smoking area, she puts on her

mask. She said that whenever she is exposed to smoke, she has a

severe antiphalactic (sp) reaction, has to use her Epi-Pen and go to

the ER.

Man, talk about giving smokers a message about how their habit

effects others around them.

Update: I am back my normal asthma routine now. (Abnormal is when my

nebbing does not work). 10 mg of pred and nebbing 4-5 times a day.

Next week, I will be tapering down to 5 mg a day of pred.... will

stay there for a few weeks, then 5 mg every other day, then

hopefully, OFF!
