I had a feeling that was what you meant. I think it was really scary
in the beginning when I didn't know what was going on. I just wanted
answers. It was like no one could tell me why I was having such a
problem with not being able to not only breath, but just walk down
street, in my house, or just anywhere. I have trouble just being able
to catch my breath in the line at walmart, or going done the street.
Its even harder to see the people around me, wanting to know if I
am okay. I've always for the last few years, had to take a cart, and
make sure I had a place to sit really close by or now were it is.

Derrick really knows the signs, he can spot me going down usually.
But its like when he has a seizure, and I think its one of the reasons
we are so close. He takes such great care of me. Its amazing.

But now I kind of just learned some breathing exercise that were
able to calm my breath down. But its not really possible when
I'm in the middle of an intense attack of the breathing issues.

So I use my rescue inhaler. And then start the breathing technics
to try it. But it sometimes still doesn't work. So then I have to
drink water so the coughing will stop. At times I when it gets so
bad I then drink hot tea. Right now its my favorite drink pretty
much. But I love hot chocolate too, when its really bad. And
its really good for the chocolate need.

So its really hard to deal with the issues sometimes.. Honestly
its the only reason I can tell its still bronchitis, and asthma related.
Not covid-19. I keep a really close eye on my issues. If they change
I honestly will get back to doctor and take the covid test, but I can
get that at pharmacy now.

Also I got my doctor's office to order my new nebulizer today. But
we are waiting on it to get delivered hopefully tomorrow.
