My asthma went out of control last night and I had to take an ambulance to the ER. I got a "cold" Tuesday or Wednesday (worse than that apparently) and was not having a good time yesterday. DH and I did not get home until Midnight and I didn't sleep all that well; the breathing treatments made my throat raw and sinus pressure made it feel like someone had stepped on my face. So, I could breathe but. . .

My poor DH had to go out early this morning to get the two prescriptions filled for prednisone and an antibiotic and my pharmacy doesn't open until 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays so I sent him to a Walgreens that I thought was 24 hour but it isn't; its pharmacy didn't open until 9:00 either so he went to ours and hung around until then.

But the doctor in the ER was saying they're having a whole lot of such things this season, that it is weird and lots of people are on antibiotics and they aren't working, etc. Anybody else seen this? My asthma is generally well controlled and "tame" and when I get a cold (which I don't have given the antibiotic; they did chest xrays), it doesn't interact or make the asthma worse or anything, this is a first for me.
