Winter or summer ...it's all the same.

I look back at my last journal entry from February and find I am in the same situation again. Like then, I am just recovering from yet another URI, followed by an asthma exacerbation. I have just completed another course of pred and I do seem better but still a little shaky. I would say that I have become a hot house flower but I can't stand the heat. I guess that makes me a lukewarm house weed.
It's hard to accept that I have become so hypersensitive since I was always fairly robust. Asthma has been one tough nut to crack. I have only had ashma for two years.(58 seems a darn foolish age to develop asthma. Now that I'm 60 it still seems silly.). I have all sorts of new friends now. I have a pulmonologist and his nurse practitioner... an asthma specialist at the lung center and his assisting physician and nurse practitioner ...all the technicians at the labs and xray centers,,,and of course the emergency room staff who I have come to know far too well.
I know many of you have dealt with this far longer than I have. I guess I'm a big wimp.  I just wish I had better control.
