Most may recall my issues in the past with reactive airways. I was at my pulmonary specialist in October. Everything going so well. He was pleased...we got through last winter with no major issues.
Well, December 10 I had went to a ladies Christmas party. 16 women with perfume. I left sick...I can't seem to recover. I avoided the family Christmas party for fear of cologne and perfumes. By Christmas I was feeling much better. Then my mother in law forgot and showed up the Saturday after and wore to much perfume. I was throwing up by the time they left. Took some time to recover. Felt good this past Friday. So we go look at flooring. (Going to redo the basement.) Scented candles in the store... another set back.
So called pulmonary specialist on Monday. I would be in the area for a physical. Could they see me. So two appointments today.
Those lovely students that follow doctors. Had one today with my primary physician. I had my mask on. Explaining I can't remove it if they are wearing scents...like perfume. I'm doing fine...left my mask on as I answered questions. Then the student was ordered to wash hands with soap and water so the sanitizer scent wouldn't linger. She walked up to me to check my throat. I removed my mask...AND CAN'T BREATHE! SHE WORE BODY LOTION!!! She was ordered from the room...I'm trying to just breathe...and not throw up. An hour later I'm still struggling. Inhailer isn't working as a rescue tool.
Get to pulmonary specialist. She wants an x-ray. I explained I am in the middle of an episode. My lungs are fine I do not have pneumonia. She then listens to my lungs which sound clear. Ordering her nurse to get me a steroid shot. And was administered it on the spot to settle my episode down. By tomorrow I should see some significant relief.
I'm to follow up when cough is gone for those lung tests for function...that we put on hold when I was good for a year and a half without a major set back.
Avoiding triggers to allow my airways and lungs to heal...so a couple more weeks home bound.
I rarely get angry where I cry...I wanted to throttle the student following the primary today.
I was to have pulmonary send over a note to primary because they were "concerned".
Just sick and tired of being sick...but most of all to this twit who pushed me back further than I've seen in a long time.
