[Esperanza]

For those who suffer from allergies and asthma, I'd like to have your personal feelings on that.

I'm suffering from allergies since 2-3 years now (like hayfever) and it's been worse since a month. Last wednesday I was at work and suddenly couldn't breathe anymore, I started shivering and I felt faint, everything was turning around me and all... I was taken to the hospital where they put me on a drip with antihistamine + cortisone plus I had an aerosol for about 5-10 min. Apparently I've made an "allergic shock" as they said and I need to make some tests to find out where the hell does it comes from.

I also got some Ventoline to help me breathe and my doctor said it was probably asthma but again, I need to do the tests to be sure. As I'm taking cortisone and antihistamine for a week (plus the big dose they gave me on the drip) I won't be able to do those tests until September/October and I'm wondering how do you guys cope with that...

I came over dizzy again this morning and I wasn't able to go to work, I feel exhausted all the time and I just can't breathe properly

Just wanted to know your opinion and maybe your own personal experience, I'm a bit worried by this whole new situation
