POSTER CHILD ~ for whey people with asthma never should smoke!

Tweet

Being born with Asthma many people would say why in the hell did you ever start smoking? I be quite frank, it was all peer pressure. I thought I was being cool to smoke like them. All my friends were doing i, and then I got hooked and couldn't stop. Big mistake. As a baby, I had severe asthma attacks as a infant, so bad, I spent much of my fisr year of life in and out of the hospitals. I was born in hagerstown maryland and the harsh winter took it's toll on me and my dad had to bring me to florida for my survival. my dad tells me this story of my miracle survival, he tells me I was not breathing I was blue he took me to the hospital and the nurse looked at me and siad it was a cold and to give me cough medicine and I would be fine. My mother argued with them and told them, no I think my daughter is in trouble please look at her again. they refused, they even asked a cop to make them look at them, the cop begged they still refused and turned me away. My dad took me to the car and look for a family doctor that often worked in the ER. Just so happened that doctor was on sift and he looked at me and rushed me back into the hospital to get me nreathing again and told me to leave maryland oir I would die and he had 24 hours to pack and leave cause the medicine would wear off soon. So my dad packed what he could and left state as fast as he could taking family members to take turn driving non-stop to florida. gave me another shot before leaving. My dad says he never seen someone as white as I was that day, white as a ghost, but he said as soon as they crossed the florida line all the color came back into my face and I got better and Asthma went into remission well for 30 years this had gone away, I even smoked for 18 years, stupid me, I knew what had happened before, I grew up hearing the stories and how my dad says that is the best decision he ever made, cause he believes in his heart I would not be here today if it was not for that doctor and diagnosis. So ashmta stayed away for 30 years and I smoked and thought wow, it's gone forever and didn't worry about what could happen. But then Asthma again reared it's ugly head once again starting 5 years ago. The past 5 years of my life had been hell. Everyday I continued to smoke and everyday the asthma got worse. To the point of laying awake all night long on the couch coughing and gagging up my lungs. Breathing got so bad that I was taking inhaler, alot. Even took ephederine in the past just to breathe and we all know how dangerous that is. Got so bad my doctor had to give me a prescription for epipen for emergencies. Quite frankly I just couldn't give them up, it was bad. Thought this is how I'm going to die, everyday it become harder to breathe and everyday my allergies where going haywire and live on my daily clairitin. OMG, this was pure hell. I would worry everytime I get an attack omg, is this my last breathe, omg, is this the minute I will die? OMG, what if I pass out and nobody is here to help save me. made things worse. This is so scary and something nobody should have to deal with. You are dizzy and you feel as if you are going to pass out....this is not good. So with the help of Welbutrin I was able to get off the cigaettes for 14 days now and my husband is also off them as well. Since I have not smoked everything is getting better, allergies are getting better, Breathing is getting better, no more annoying nighttime couch and gagging, omg, it's incredible how much of a difference this has made in such a short time. My husband has noticed this and is thankful too, I don't wake him up now, lmao, and can sleep through the night. omg, you would never realize how much quitting will change your lives. I see incredible results in the first 2 weeks, I'm thinking this will only get better as time goes on.
