Idk how I keep forgetting that I have an inhaler. Over here dying and think to myself, if only there was a simple inhalent that I could take that'll ease my symptoms and make it easier to breathe 😞.

One thing about asthma that I never see anyone talk about is how tired it makes you.
During a flare up you're not getting all the oxygen you should, pair that with full body coughs and chest tightness and it's exhausting. Your lungs and breathing muscles get tired and you can feel it. It's like when your legs are tired after a walk and all you want us to sit down and rest but it's your lungs and you can't really just not use your lungs.
Half the time during a flare I end up coughing so hard I get sick and not only is it painful but it drains you of all energy.
Yet, asthma is still treated as this "nerdy person" condition when it's an extremely serious chronic illness with no cure and extremely high medication cost if you want to manage it.

Inhalers! Personally, my inhaler is painted like Donatello from ROTTMNT >:] my best friend painted it for me and I love it
I think it's funny that I said I was stuck in art block and then immediately started started drawing again, I'm probably free of the curse lol

the holidays are always really fucking weird, i dont like many of them but specifically December is just- ew
Anyway ill just thro my mini pitty party real quick:
These song explains how I feel about christmas time *perfectly*
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas by mother mother (christmas playlist)
From heres basically a trauma dump about being in the hospital, but i typically talk about this in a tone more like "oh yea! i nearly died lmao"
When i was like, just turning 6 I had 💫pneumonia💫 & needed to go to the 💫hospital💫. So I spent like, 12/11-31/15 in the hospital. along the way i had these treats happen (not really in order, 💜=story from family member, ❤=i actually remember this)
💜being diagnosed by my sisters 16 yo boyfriend by looking at my gums, whereas medical staff took 4 days
❤Some mcdonalds, cool auntys banana bread, jello & making popin cookin sets w/ my older sister
💜a 5 day medically induced coma
lung surgery therefor cool fuckin scars on my back (WHICH I CANT FUCKING SHOW ANYONE CAUSE I WAS CURSED W/ TITS AND 2/3 ARE UNDER MY BRA)
💜waking up from said coma periodically only to say "im scared" w/ my mom trying to comfort me but i had ear shit going on
💜Finnaly actually woke up, yelled "IM DEAD", which is reportadly the scariest shit my dad has ever heard, my mom asks if i hurt, i say yes, she like "ur not dead honey" again i was 6 & in & out of a coma 😂 (idk why but I've always found that story funny)
💜my parents being thretened w/ truancy by my dumbass school
❤Christmas, I had *2* mini christmas trees in my hospital room 💅 1 was cool but my cool uncle & aunty got me a pink 1 which I still have to this day as a lamp
💜only trusting 1 of my doctors cause he looked like my grandfather who'd been deceased for 2years at that point
❤💜going on walks around the kids floor in a wheelchair & stealing a little gingerbread beanie baby ornament but they didnt care so they just let me keep it & i still have it somehwere.
💜my mom met a lady who had a son who was a few months old & they didnt expect to live past a couple weeks but he *did* (more on that later)
💜had food in the cafeteria and i proceeded to rub the pizza i got *into my hair*. My response? "Its just cheese" my family and I quote that to this day lmao.
💜being reverted to a toddler for a good minute (someone asked my age i said i was 3, i was not) & needing to relearn walking, talking, the little bit of reading i knew & getting into a shower w/out being scared of being pulled down the drain
❤said dude who asked my age worked at the hospital cafeteria & we visited him after most of my appointments. miss u uncle (that was what he went by), wish u well. Dont know where he since covid cause the part of the building cafeteria was in was torn down.
❤and after all that later and i got releaced on new years eve :>
results:
From there forward i had a 20-30minute nebulizer to do every 4 hours (which my parents had to wake up at like 2am for a half hour for), 2 twice daily inhailers, 2 nasil sprays, "the tire" (tastes like shit and makes me feel anxious) (that isnt even all of it my mom counted 8 meds at one point) and i slowly dropped them year by year till they had me down to just rescue inhailer as needed & if my lungs r really shit for a min i go on the tire. (Tire=prednisolone but what 6 year old is remembering that name lol)
specialist appointments every week, then 2 weeks, then every month, 3 months, 6 months, now im at checkup every year and check in as needed
"Look whos inside again" by bo burnham is my life in a nutshell
To this day the smell of a consentrated area of hand sanatizer just has me stop in my tracks lol.
seeing a picture of tiny me on my parents facebook feed yearly of me unconscious in a hospital bed w/ tubes in mah face
couple of close friend i met post hospital (keep in mind i was like 7) didn't believe me so i ran around the playground cursing them the fuck out (never did get in trouble for that 😂) ((I still talk to 1 of them shes cool))
Idk where to put this but about that kid I was talking about before, I found out last year around this time he had just died- of 💫pneumonia💫. yea that fucked me up for a good minute, he was around 6 too which didn't help, I never even met the kid and I still had a weird form of survivors guilt.
Anyway have a merry fucking christmas i really dont get this holiday lol, treat yourself kindly, feel free to be the grinch you are and explain in detail why u hate the holidays u arent alone lol

TMI but that feeling when you finally cough up the shit in your lungs and you can take a deep breath without the rattling of mucus. It's a wonderful thing.

We're Cursed
Whelp, it has happened. Both @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon and I have come down with whatever Dave brought home. I ran a fever all night and this sh*t went right to my lungs. My asthma is now messed up and my breathing is really tight. The congestion is unreal.
@helly-watermelonsmellinfellon is running a fever as well. We both were going ape trying to sanitize everything. We tried. We failed.
We were able to get some meds but there are three adults using the meds which means they will not last long. I'm out of nebulizer meds and my doctor is an ass. So when I say we're screwed, I mean it.

Just Breathe
A lot of people thought that the lake of wheezing, that tiny whistling sound coming from a person’s inflamed lungs during an asthma attack, was a good thing. That the medications were working, or the attack was ending. That everything would therefore be okay.
Peter knows better.
He had his first Asthma attack, a full-blown asthma attack, at age six. Wheezing and coughing, and gasping for air that never reached his burning, oxygen-deprived lungs. It had felt like he was dying, and maybe he was dying.
At sixteen, you’d think you’d get used to it. But you’ll never get used to feeling young lungs close in on itself. You’ll never get used to dying…
Prompt: Asthma attack @badthingshappenbingo

I’m not gonna lie, I’m the type of person to sound like I’m literally dying over the most minor and mundane stuff.
*starts wheezing and coughing like a 70yr old smoker and sounding like a kazoo after laughing too hard*
“*wheeze* I’m *WHEEZE* fine *WHEEZE* I need my meds I’ll be *WHEEZE* fine.” (Actually I am not fine I just don’t like worrying people. But if I didn’t have my meds near me I’d be freaking the fuck out actually.)
*gets a bit too cold because I didn’t anticipate the weather changing so quickly.*
“oh. My hands are super cold and my arms and legs and I’m super itchy now. *looks diseased and about to die of chicken pox or something worse* guys I’m f-f-fine I just need to warm up and I-I-it will go away.”
*goes outside when there’s a high pollen count, or smoke or air pollutants of some kind*
“achanooie, I’m fine guys I’m just having allergies. *eyes literally go red and puffy and is dribbling snot out my nose.* I’m fine :)”
*randomly touches something or brushes against something.*
“Oh shit. What was it this time? *a small or big amount of hives starting to form* I must have touched something on the table I’m allergic to I gotta go wash my arm I’ll be back. *disappears to the back rooms and comes back* well idk what it was but I’m not touching anything else.”
life with chronic illness is fun.. yay

I love my nebulizer because it saves my life or whatever but, and I cannot stress this enough, I feel like the biggest fucking dweeb every time I use it 😂
In the words of Lord of the Flies, "Sucks to your assmar!"
