I am an Asthmatic with Vertigo Issues

I know most people will wonder why I am posting this? Well recent developments prompted me to post this. The title actually came to me while I was driving home from the Dr on Monday. Having been coughing and wheezing for about a week I decided it was time to have it checked out. I got up Monday morning and headed to the Dr office. I got there at 8:30 and did not get home until noon. Anyway, back to the coughing and wheezing after a few days I said to my husband that I wondered if it was Asthma. Over the weekend I quizzed my parents and sure enough along with my allergy issues I had Asthma as a child. I have not had problems in over 30 years so being diagnosed with Asthma was a surprise to me. The Dr told me it is not uncommon to not have a problem for long periods and then come back as an adult. I was also told that you never really outgrow Asthma you just go long periods like I have without any attacks. I find it hard that I have not had any Issues as my triggers as a child were Animals and Cigarette Smoke both of which I currently live with. I have had a cat for 7 years and my husband has smoked longer than we have been married. The treatment so far has been helping me. I am not wheezing or coughing as much but, having to make sure that I am near the nebulizer when it is time for my treatment is a pain. I go back to the Dr tomorrow for a follow up. I think that I will ask her if I can switch to an inhaler or something that is easily portable. The nebulizer is small but, it is not easily transported as I cannot carry it in my purse or pocket. If I had something smaller I would not have to worry about missing my Asthma treatment or making sure that I am home for my Asthma treatment. Anyway, on to the Vertigo Issues I was diagnosed with that in November. Now that I have them under wraps and not having problems with that. One of the side effects of my Asthma treatment is dizziness. As if I had not had enough of the Merry Go Round that I was experiencing for 2 months before finding out that I had BPV.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
