Re: Re: Stomach and aunt Flo

[Guest guest]

While I had a few incidents of asthma when a child and a young adult, over the

counter inhaler was all I needed to stop the attack right away.

But when I hit 48--and at the same time began going into menopause (sorry

guys), my asthma hit with a vengeance. But I think there were a number of

factors as well as the hormonal changes my body was going through. That year

was a horrific year for mold and cold, I was teaching in a portable that was

full of mildew and mold according to the A/C repair man, and my sister had died

the previous November at age 45 from heart failure (years of asthma medicine and

strong medicines used to revive her when her lungs collapsed during surgery had

weakened her heart and it just gave out.)

When I asked my doc about the connection between the hormonal changes and the

onset of the mildly severe persistent asthma, he just kinda laughed. But later

I read someone was researching the idea that hormonal changes might also have

something to do with adult onset asthma! Haven't seen anything recently,

though. And don't think my treatment would have necessarily been any different.

My 2 cents worth.

And this message has been brought to you from San where the sun spends

the winter and winter comes to visit during the spring! (It's 34 and getting

colder--forecast for snow here--on Easter Sunday morning yet! Unbelievable!)

Hope all of you stay warm as I know it is probably much colder where many of you

live!

Happy Easter-----

Perhaps going on the pill may help.

LOL! I don't think so. Unless you consider NY to be

part of Canada.

Thanks Addy,

That's why I wanted to revisit this subject. My original

" instructions " were a little to aggressive, according to Pat and

Pat's instructions makes sense. I'm following your lead, more but less.

This is why I follow this site daily, things, opinions, and memories

change and I need to stay on top of it from reliable sources.

I'm not going back to the Dr.'s office either, if they try to make me

I'll assume the fetal position in their office, cry, snot, and

snivel, and make everyone's life miserable! LOL
