asthma again
Aaaaargh i hate asthma it stinks. Spent the afternoon not being able to breath, so my mum took me to the doctors. He has loaned me a nebuliser & said 'treat it as a smoke alarm'. Which i think is a great saying. Its definately calmed my breathing down.

I'm back to work next monday. I'm glad the doctor signed me off for a week. Feel so alone with it. My family & OH are great, but its a very scary world. Would just like to feel a little normality again.
