crap lungs

I have crap lungs. I can usually control the asthma with ventolin, but this year I caught a cold and the germies said "Oh look! Crap lungs! Let's give this bastard a cough for 3 months!"

The doc gave me some new drugs. As well as the ventolin I now have a powder called Pulmicort (400 micrograms per shot), a cortico steriod I think, and a new one called Tilade.

Tilade feels odd as it goes down - sort of cold and fumie. At least it doesn't make my heart explode like Ventolin does.

which is nice.

I use Pulmicort too. Do you have the phallic-looking dispenser too?

Also, I found in Dubbo that during this time of year in particular, all the grass seeds &c in the air didn't help the asthma much, so maybe take an antihystemine like Claratyne too.

Gets me through the night.
