My boss takes Mucinex every day, which is essentally super-strong guaifenesin. Since the Primatene tablets make me shaky from the ephedrea, he gave me one of his tablets. It worked like a dream. I'm considering getting a bottle of Mucinex myself, so I don't have to keep relying on Primatene and Albuterol every time the asthma kicks in, especially with winter coming.
I know that two years ago, around this time, I developed severe, acute bronchitis and Adam took me to the hospital. Taking a hit of Albuterol, holding my breath to let the medicine into my lungs, sent me into a tonic-clonic seizure (for which I was actually semi-conscious; a terrifying experience which is more common than you'd think), and caused all my muscles to lock up from CP. And at that point it was off to the hospital. Being put on an extra strength nebulizer and an IV drip and watching your fingernails turn blue isn't fun. I don't want to repeat that. Then again, I was still actively anorexic then, with my body weak from starved abuse, and it obviously did not help.
Now, I am stronger. And I have discovered the wonderful Reishi mushroom extract. And royal jelly, propolis and bee pollen. I'll be fine.
I've had Live's Peace Is Now running through my head for days. I really need to get the Mental Jewelry album on CD again. I loved every single song on that album, which is rare for me. Hell, I should probably buy all their albums again. Last time I had Mental Jewelry, Secret Samahdi, The Distance To Here, and Throwing Copper, they were all cassette tapes and I was in high school.
