sorry to hear about your son @MsDiz - i have salbutamol and usr ceterizine daily in hayfever season... which is like april to august for me. they're trying me on a steroid inhaler too.
its really frustrating that the NHS won't offer me immunotherapy for the main things that they themselves have confirmed, because i'm not totally debilitated daily. if something like what happened to me earlier in the summer happens somewhere where i can't get an ambulance easily i could die. i wish i could afford to get it privately.
but yeah, its weird, the fact that apparently my lung function wasn't affected (based on the thing where they analyse the reaction to vbrations while breathing normally) when i felt like i could barely breathe during the mannitol challenge makes me feel like i'm somehow faking the whole thing and wasting everyones time. i'm lucky that i met the criteria for a study they are running otherwise i wouldn't even have qualified for the intensity of investigation they are doing.
