Hand hold asthma

Sorry for any typos in advance. Nc.

I have asthma. I'm under the respiratory consultant and am on the highest steroid inhaler plus incruse. I've recently been unwell. I was in hospital for a severe asthma attack a couple of weeks ago but despite these new inahlers I'm struggling again this morning. As soon as I'm off pred I get unwell. I found the last attack very traumatic and it feels like I'm always always in hospital with my asthma they just can't get it under control and my consultant said next step is biologics.

My peak flow this morning is 220 and my best is 430. I'm trying to tootle along till Monday when I can ring the severe asthma service, mainly because I hate hospital and I hate leaving my DC and my DH struggles. And obviously it's traumatic.

Hand hold? I know I'm going to end up in hospital... because I need to go and I promised my respiratory nurse I would seek care if I need to but I am just so sad, so stressed and depressed and I hate this and I hate my lungs

I'm sorry you are feeling so unwell. We are currently investigating potential asthma for one of my dc. This cold dry weather really seems to make them worse. We can't work out if it's the cold, the dry or more likely the massive increase in woodburner use that's the issue. Do you have any specific triggers?

I'm sorry to hear of your DC. I definitely find the cold weather and then coming into dry heat at home makes me asthma worse
