Artemis - 2011-10-04 5:13 PM I went running today with A. Got some weird looks. Guess people don't expect to see a fairly pregnant woman out running with her husband? Wait! WHAT?! YOU'RE PREGGIE??!! WHERE WAS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT THAT I MISSED??? CONGRATULATIONS, BADGER JEN!! Boy, you sure know how to hurt a guy. ![]() I don't wear slacks. Hm. Do I want to ask? Hm. No, I don't want to ask. |

She's been in remission since the early '80s, but always had to carry an inhaler. |

I'm on Symbicort and Flonase. Still taking the older generation of antihistamines & decongestants, since some of the others (especially Claritin) give me weird side effects. I get really spacey, and dizzy.... Maybe I'll ask about one of these others.... I had good results with Serevent, but my doctor won't let me take it anymore. ![]() Used to get allergy shots. May have to start again. Ew. *Sigh* Have albuterol for rescue, and epi-pens in case of allergic reactions..... But fortunately, I do not have my own nebulizer. (Although at this point, the doctor's office sees me coming and gets their ready.) Add to the mix, a thyroid that's dead, gluten intolerance, and a few other health issues. Forget health care insurance, I think I need my own pharmacy. ![]() |

Also have seen bad asthmatics (on vents) with a combination of helium and oxygen cause the helium helps the oxygen get into the cells.D001 - 2011-10-10 5:53 PM 1stTimeTri - 2011-10-10 10:33 AM Symbicort and Flonase are steroids.
