It's the little things...............
.............that sometimes keep you alive. Sounds rather dramatic I know but these little pills are steroids which, when you have asthma, can make all the difference to whether you breath or not. I rarely have to take them; in fact the last time I took them was 5 years ago. They are really tiny (they are sitting in a teaspoon so you get the idea. I had to take six in one go, once a day for five days last week when I was not well. So just a short, sharp dose was all that was required to get me back on track. Thank goodness I wasn't born before these were made - I would have been a goner back when I was 26 years old. It was the first attack I ever had and I was rushed to hospital in an ambulance, blue lights flashing, thinking I was definitely going to die as I could hardly draw a breath. Once in hospital I was Intravenously 'fed' steroids in huge doses and eventually after a week my airways cleared. The asthma had been brought on by dust caused by building work at the place I was then employed. Though I used to get very ill back then after I had first been diagnosed, I have never had another attack like it and I hope I never will. Just two puffs on my steroid spray morning and night and all is usually well. I love these little things:-)
