Default every four hours

patrick here,
after all the help here so far I moved my mestinon from every eight hours when I left the hospital two weeks this Friday to every four hours even during the night.
As I have mentioned on another tread the move was brought on by a very bad throat infection.
I had a breathing crisis last Friday night.
I had not yet set my watch alarm for every four hours.
Because I was interested in a movie on tv and had my laptap on my knee I missed my timefor taking dose.
I decided to go to bed and as I went to leave the computer down, my chest felt like someone was standing on it and my throat was closing.
Luckily I had the mestinon beside me and a drink of water.
After 20 minutes breathing started to improve and after an hour fully recovered.
Decision taken mestinon is needed to breathe,my life not the consultants.
Ever since apart from one incident ,when I forgot again,breaathing is normal,no wheezing and no feet on my chest.
My concentration on my dose at the moment is on breathing .
I am on sick leave from a government call centre.
I work there as a clerical officer chasing absent fathers and mothers for child maintenance.
