Hi Karim, I have cold induced, which can also be induced by a sharp change in temperature by 35 degrees in less than 24 hours,and I don't think ive gotten more than a 200 on my flow. I also haven't had to use my nebulizer in just over a year and spent most of my morning winters in the ER. My mothers friend is one of the head nurses for the covid situation here in New Jersey, I explained how I felt weeks ago to her the other day, she confirmed that I may have in fact had it. I did not however...
It seems from the information that I've read about COVID-19, the virus is highly unpredictable; symptoms and outcomes vary widely, depending on the strength of each individual's immune system, comorbidities, and age. Physicians and researchers are still uncovering many details of how the virus affects different patient populations, and they learn new information every day. They report that some with underlying conditions survive the virus, while many others die, which is why health experts...
I have COVID-19 and asthma. I also have other health conditions and am over 65. I am not as ill as I expected (going on two weeks with it). I have to wonder of those of us on corticosteroids have some protection from the inflammation that is so deadly with COVID-19. I have to be on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency as well as well, so it's a bit different for me, but with the mortality rate for asthmatics with COVID-19 being below what would be expected, it gives me pause about this link.
@Wolfbane I am so sorry to hear you have COVID-19, but thank goodness you are not as ill as you could be. How are you feeling after 2 weeks, do you think you've turned the corner? Sending healing vibes your way! Lorene
Hello @karim . I think maybe your question got lost in the spring. There are many updates since then. Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions at the end of the blog above. Click them to open. Two especially for you: Are people with asthma at higher risk of catching the new coronavirus? (Updated 7/16/20) Are people with asthma at higher risk of more severe symptoms from COVID-19? (Updated 6/25/20) Hang in there! All the best.
@LoriC try talking to the stores managers before hand call . Perhaps they can open the store early for you or shop for you . Unfortunately it’s policy and essential employees are trying to protect their health . Also other patrons are trying to do the same . At my job we had passengers who knew they were waiting on a pending Covid test and still got on a plane anyway without a mask . Every situation is not going to be perfect or to your liking but many are in the same boat as you .
I have asthma, severe asthma, all my life. Recently, I was diagnosed with allergies; environmental and food allergies. Both are no fun to have because one might not be triggered but the other does and vise versa. I've read comments on here about wearing a mask and I've also read on this website about wearing a mask isn't bad for asthmatic people. Let me tell you, I don't need Science to tell me, I don't need the CDC, Dr. Fauci and the WHO to tell me that mask works because...IT DOES NOT...
Wearing a face covering remains an important tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Face coverings protect not only ourselves but others who can't wear a mask, such as kids under 2 who can't wear a mask and kids under 12 who are not eligible for the vaccine. Unfortunately, face coverings can feel restrictive which can be stressful. Finding a mask that fits comfortably and wearing it for short periods can help to see what works for an individual. Keeping nasal allergies and asthma under...
That's a great question - why do asthma flares peak in September? It's the height of ragweed season in many areas, mold counts are rise as leaves start to fall, flu season starts, and kids head back to school and pass around respiratory viruses like colds. Also school buildings that have been closed all summer may have a build up of other allergens and irritants. All of these can be asthma triggers. COVID precautions in schools (masks, distancing, increased airflow) may help reduce some of...
When the covid first hit last year, an old friend told me she nebulizes H2O2 whenever she's exposed to crowds. She is anti-mask & anti-vax. I researched it a bit and found Dr Mercola (a popular internet alt-med "doctor" who markets all kinds of alt-med products and disperses covid disinformation) was advocating this. He's probably selling nebulizers / "food grade" H2O2. An immediate RED flag. I will say my dentist has me gargle with diluted H2O2 before checking my teeth and gums, so it...
A quick search found a few documented cases where harm has been established from huffing H2O2. Here's one of them; https://www.atsjournals.org/ doi/abs/10.1164/ajrccm- conference.2015.191.1_ MeetingAbstracts.A1537 The naturopaths that push nebulizing H2O2 tend to recommend a diluted (.5%) solution, which seems relatively safe. But the potential for misuse exists. The toxicity of H2O2 at higher concentrations has been established; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/15298493/ I also have not...
We updated this blog post on Oct. 26, 2021, to include a video on air cleaners, information on COVID-19 and proper air ventilation, and the impact of air pollution on COVID-19 rates.
@Whippetartist - hope you can find a booster appointment soon! @Ironmom316 - we are sharing this latest research so people with asthma and allergies can make informed decisions about the COVID-19 vaccine and whether they can safely receive the vaccine.
Yes! I got the Pifzer COVID-19 vaccines in March 2021, I had no problem reaction, no side effects. Now, I'm searching my area to get the COVID-19 booster vaccine. More than my allergies, allergic asthma, I have Paget's Disease of Bone. When I go out in public, I must wear a mask & gloves to protect my health.
@Ironmom316 - Makes an interesting point. Having talked with the 4 doctors monitoring my bone disease, allergies, the doctors & myself decided getting the COVID-19 vaccines & flu in 2021 shot would help prevent me from getting seriously ill. I read all the truthful medical research documents, saw the results from medical research hospitals, thankful I got the vaccines.
Good news! My sister, my 91 yrs mom & myself, have made appts at our local Walgreen's pharmacy to get the COVID-19 booster shot. So important as the COVID-19 variants are circulating currently in FL with increased seasonal visitors.
