Hi Frens,
My wife is currently experiencing severe wheezing, cough, and chest tightness. She has dealt with asthma her whole life, but I have NEVER seen it this bad in the 6 yrs. we have been together.
It is getting to the point where she is talking about going to the ER which I am trying to prevent for ALL the reasons we already know.
I had her on an ivermectin (horse paste), vit c, vit d, zinc and melatonin regimen for a couple of days and she seemed to be getting better. she is very skeptical of the horse paste so she stopped after a couple days after feeling better. today we wake up and it seems to be back with a vengeance.
I put her back on the paste, vitamin regimen this morning and told her we need to do this everyday for 5-7 days.
Any other tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated. The last thing I want is her to go to the ER and take some BS COOF test and then we all know how that can end up..........
This board is amazing with these kinds of things and any and all advice, tips, or experiences would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks Frens squid
And I have what's going to sound like a very stupid question. I am originally from the Houston area but now in Austin area. I'm also asthmatic. Does your wife drink coffee? If so, cut it out a few days and see if that helps.
Years ago I was having horrible attacks and turned out it was caused by coffee. There is a mold that grows on coffee beans that is ground into the coffee because it doesn't affect most people. Well, for some asthmatics it can have a profound impact.
It took me years to finally figure out what it was. Now instead of multiple attacks per week, I have maybe 3 or 4 a year.
that's a funny question because she hates coffee and pretty much anything with caffeine
i am going to check out that site out again during my lunch but do you know if you can get the albuterol inhalers on there?
I've never tried to get inhalers from anywhere online as I have a prescription for them, though I don't use them too often anymore. I do keep one close by. Not too long ago my doc put me on a statin drug and had the same effect as the coffee for the two times I used that crap.
Ya know it could be something else causing the attacks. My issue was that about an hour of getting to work every Monday I would have a massive attack. The rest of the week wasn't much better. What I finally deduced was that I didn't have coffee at home (weekends included) and only while I was in the office. Monday morning was a shock to my system since I had gone 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) without coffee. I stopped drinking it and the problem went away. Haven't had any for over 20 years now.
Maybe she can look at the things she does eat or drink routinely and selectively abstain from each and see if there is any positive change. The reason I said the coffee thing was a stupid question is that I've never met anyone with the same reaction as I have. But it plausible, at least to me, that there is something else in her routine that is causing her issues.
