  • Thank you Jane and Angela, had to take my blue rescue inhaler tonight…it’s worked luckily…

    when the asthma gets bad the anxiety takes over, it just spins out of control…but I’m all good now….

  • Bugger, hope you can get it sorted bud and get youraelf back to normal soon. 

    Fingers crossed you are feeling tip top soon.

    I also hate autocorrect and hope people can make sense out of my posts when it changes half the words I type.

  • Glad your inhaler worked. I have had allergies since birth and used to have bad asthma as a child. My main triggers are, dust mites, feathers, mould, kiwi fruit... but there are also things like perfume, some antibiotics and stuff they put in medicines, toothpaste, creams etc.I did have to get an inhaler during lockdown but don't need it much these days. Its mainly hives and rashes now. My last proper asthma attack was because of hidden mould from a leaky pipe.

    I know that when breathing is difficult it builds up anxiety as well so you have a double burst of it. 

    Have you ever had a sensitivity test? - otherwise known as contact test (no not the one for VD though they once did send me to a clinic in Soho with a big placard on the door saying 'CONTACT Clinic!)

    This one is where doctors use strips of gauze with small 'cups' stuck to it and they put a likely allergen in each cup and stick it to your skin. Very itchy if you get a reaction. Several days later you go back and they tell you what to avoid. I've had it done several times over the years and some things I was very allergic to eg nickel have died down while others have increased - Kiwi is very bad and latex (similar enzymes in both).

    If you are seeing the doctor I would mention you want a test done.

    All the best,
