HI! I have Severe Asthma, been diagnosed with COPD from second hand smoke for 7 years. I was always very energetic, going to school graduated forensics study combined with criminal Justuce while raising my grandchildren who were at te time 8 mos. and 5. I was their fn buddy. about three years ago I was getting weaker and weaker but pushed myself for the children. I ended up in quarantine becuase of the persistent cough I had over the yers got way out of hand, They gave me predisone stating at 60mgs. I old not sleep, saw a big cat in my bed along with other hallucinations. while waiting for the CDC to prove I was TB free my gluclosewent up to 500 so they started giving me shots. Prior to this my pcp was giving me preds for about three or so years she saw the affects of mania in me and prescribed Xanax. Okay around July fourth2015 I went into one of my breathing, weakness epodes only this time I had vry little meds due to the fact that my insurance who traded prescription companes decided I no longer need durex, Q-Var, or zyflow, so all I had was my nebulizer. Dr, I have never felt such panic to live in my life and I survived a 10 month stay from being run over abd drug by a car at 86 lbs. MY Dr. is the best Pulmonoloist I could ver hope to have but he put me back on 60mg of predizone. Luckily, I am seeing a pasychiatrist who puts me on 120 plls of #2 Xanax a day to offset my moods, I hate xnax so she had a bright idea to treat my ADHD so I would feel normal, as possible. Beause my lst episode was so bad couldn't talk, at, move, etc. so I've lost 3ls. I eat no sodium, salt, and am so scared to eat anything processed, I;ve ever eaten fried foods and I eat very slowly, always have, my problem is my legs are so big especially around ankles, I drink 5 16oz bottles of ice cold water due to the swelling. I am beginnnng to get scared. My husband hates pills worse than I do but I guess my manic mood swings brought on by pred that as soon as I start tripping he reminds me. Thank you By the Way my name is Che'(shay) Gallion. is there something that cab hekp m live without the extra drugs?
