Still having trouble in the evenings

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the heater. We turned

the heat on for the first time more or less around the same time I

started flaring again. My husband has changed the filters, maybe

that will help.

Of course, I'm also really stressed right now and not getting enough

fluids.....

Where is everyone? I hope you all are out busy enjoying the fall

weather and not sick in bed or anything!

Take care all,

Addy

hi all. i tried posting yesterday, but i got some weird mesage that

the system wasn't accepting it or something. i wanted to wait for

doug to go through the messages and make sure it didn't get

posted...i'd look silly with repeat posts!

its been very quiet here. i thought it was just me, but addy said

the same thing. hope that means everyone is out and about, enjoying

life to the fullest!

things here have been wobbley. its november, which typically kicks

off my run of bad months. my sinuses are in a constant flare, and

have invited my lungs for a ride. i was on prednisone for 2-3 weeks,

and it helped, but now that i'm off it, things have gone back to a

flare mode. at this point, its nothing more than annoying. i'm

making 6 hours b/w nebs, so i'm not really concerned. i return to my

dr for xolair today, so i'll see what she says.

on the brighter side, typically my november is spent either in the

hospital or with my begging and pleading to stay home and treat the

asthma rather aggressively. with the xolair, i'm home, and doing my

thing without concern. i'm not at the dr every day or two, which is

the only way i'm usually allowed to stay home, so LIFE IS GOOD!!!

oh, as an aside, my dr recommended that i purchase a portable neb. i

had one, 15 years old, that ran off my cig. lighter and enclosed

rechargable battery, but to say it was portable was a stretch. i

could carry it anywhere, but it was HUGE, bulky...not practical for

use in my classroom. my inhaler just hasn't been cutting it with

this flare (flare-let??) anyway, on the suggestion of my friend, i

picked up the omron microair ( http://www.portablenebs.com/ has the

best price anywhere) . it is really a dream. 100% silent, quick,

super fast (nebs are done in 5 minutes) and its slightly bigger

than a glasses case. it runs on two AA batteries. i love it. it

makes nebbing at work in my classroom (while on a break) so easy.

i'm going to submit the paperwork to my insurance and hope to be

reimbursed.

anyway, hope everyone has a great day and is feeling well

Hi

I moderate and accept posts every time I get online which is usually

check 4 to five times a day. When I am not around, Addy takes

over

must have had a glitch. It is not uncommon with

.......like about every day LOL!

And speaking of glitches.......Last week, I joined the

alldiabeticsinternational group and set it to NO email. Well, I kept

on getting emails from the group, sometimes up to 50 per day. Without

a high speed connection, so many emails at once clogged up my puter

and I would have to re boot and get offline every time I checked my

email.

I left the group to keep this from happening but it only made it

worse. I put the group in my " block senders " list too, but it didnt

help one bit.

Finally, after the moderator of the group contacted a few

times, it stopped. I rejoined the group, set it to NO email and now

everything is fine.

Yes, provides a GREAT free service, but It has its problems.
