Today I wound up with the hard breathing every time I was doing something. Dishes, putting laundry away, mild exertion. I decided to try the albuterol and it did absolutely nothing. I tried it twice. I figured I should go to the Urgent care to see if maybe the symbicort one would work. The doctor there scared the daylights out of me. She said I should go straight to the ER and that with autoimmune neuropathy I could be having small blood clots forming around my bronchial tubes or there could be fluid around my heart. I told her I sent messages to my neurologists and that they just said to see a pulmonoligist- didn't mention going to the ER. Then she went on about medical school 101..... and said I could wind up on a respirator, that she can't believe they didn't send me for a chest X-ray...on and on. So then I asked her if she would let me try the symbicort and decide if I'm going and she wrote the script. She said if I am not getting enough oxygen to my muscles to let me breathe correctly it wont work anyway. I hate this. I wasn't so worried till now.
