I think im fucking dying.And nobody is helping me
I’ve had to go to the ER 3 Times this month(And it only just started☹️) for the same reason -Asthma attack-rib pain-vomiting in that exact order.
Before my first asthma attack I let my primary care doctors know that I have had some trouble with breathing without coughing and wheezing constantly for a week.Ive had these symptoms on and off for years and it usually ends with me getting prescribed steroids for a few weeks and a emergency visit to the ER so they can give me a breathing treatment.But this time they just told me too take some children’s Sudafed and Claritin They said I don’t need a permanent inhaler and that this was probably something viral despite this happening routinely and both my parents having asthma
In the span of a week or so I had downed 4 bottles of coughing syrup just for nothing.My wheezing got worse and I was coughing so hard I iterated my ribs.This leads us up to my first ER visit.I had major rib pain and wheezing at that point but I didn’t go to the ER until I felt like I couldn’t breathe and I started throwing up because of how hard I was coughing.At the ER they also told me that I didn’t need a Inhaler But proceeded to give me a breathing treatment and steroids like usual.This helped for one night and the very next day I had to return to the ER because again I felt like I want able to keep air inside my lungs and now the vomiting and coughing just became much more violent.This time they did finally give me a inhaler(not permanent)And another breathing treatment.The third visit to the ER was prolonged but still similar too the first 2 times
This all wouldn’t have even happened if I was just given the inhaler when I was wheezing and coughing and it’s not like now that I have a inhaler I’m never going to go through this again because I’m still not diagnosed with asthma even though I just had to get a breathing treatment 2 nights in a row And the inhaler that I do have will only last me so long.As soon as it runs out I guess I’ll just die
I’ve had these symptoms of asthma for years And I understood why I wasn’t qualified for a inhaler but that was when I was just having a little wheezing every few months Now I’m struggling to breathe Every day during the night which just causes a chain of events that causes me to go to even more doctors that I cannot afford to go to even with Medicaid and insurance Especially since they are basically just telling me to thug it out and take some medicine meant for toddlers.
The only reason I’ve been surviving any of this is because of my mom who has to carry me from my out of my bed and administer my medicine then drive me to the hospital.Without her I would A.suffocate or B.Choke on my own vomit then suffocate.I don’t even want to sleep anymore because I know one of these days I’m not going to wake up.
I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday If they don’t consider letting me have a permanent inhaler I actually don’t know what I might do.
I just really needed to yap about that because I feel like everybody is watching me in the process of death and not caring at all.Ive already missed out on so much of my life I think I might just end it all if I have to live like this forever
