Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / October 2004Severe Asthma With Allergies
I am trying to find out more information for my mother. Or at least someone she can speak with. My mom has severe asthma that gets worse with her allergies. She is on several differant types of medications. She can barely breath and hacks up mucous constantly. She has a terrible sore throat now and can barely speak! The situation is just unacceptable. I know a great deal about infectious diseases, but asthma is way out of my field. Any suggestions? Mom is in her 60's. Kara Tyson Lyme Disease Support Group of AL Director It sounds like she's in a bad way. Wouldn't she be best to talk to her current doctor, and if he/she isn't acceptable or isn't doing their job properly, could she not find another one?

She has sleep apnea but cannot use her machine due to the problem. She has spent the last 2 weeks just gasping for air. It has been mentioned to her about having a machine for "treatments". I am not sure what is meant by this. I would go to the Dr. with her but she lives out of the area. Kara Kara, it's possible they mean nebulizer treatments, where the medication is inhaled into the lungs. It's a faster, more efficient means of getting the medication into your system. >> It sounds like she's in a bad way.

This treatment is supposed to be a machine she keeps at home. An oxygen tank for all I know. *sigh* Kara |
