Normally when I go out for a run, i grab a shot of ventolin on the way out the door. It really slows me down on the run if I can't breathe - for all the obvious reasons. My breathing has been a lot better this year. I put it down to having the heaters on low in the house all winter, and also the running. I have been taking a powder mix of steroid and long acting ventolin this year, but rather erratically. Bit naughty really considering a single course of this drug costs over a hundred dollars, and the government is supplying it to me for three dollars. I guess the subsidy is a bonus of being a registered asthmatic. If there can be a bonus in being an asthmatic. Registered or otherwise.
Anyway, I have done the last two circumnavigations of the block without the ventolin. I felt absolutely fine. This is quite an achievement for me. Yay - I'm almost like a healthy person - if you don't take into account the steroids and long acting ventolin
Okay, I'm not normal but I'm doing good!
