Asthma?!?!?! ME?!?!?!?!?!
"Fruitful" gathering because I might be getting a diagnosis for my crazy cough soon! That cough that never goes away...
My aunt was around when I was at Grandpa's. She's aware that I'm having this mad cough for months and months and months cos Grandpa's always nagging at me about it, telling me to drink more bird's nest, more cod liver oil, go see a sinseh (cos angmo medicine don't work...yah yah...then how come you're taking those medications prescribed by my aunt?) etc etc etc. I heard it so many times, that I can memorise and repeat everything he says. Thanks for the concern though.
Just as he was nagging AGAIN, Aunt popped her head out of the room and said, "Do you have asthma?" "Nope!", I replied. She told me most probably I have it, and I might want to go down to TTSH's respiratory lab for a check..do a spirometry check. She's gonna book an appointment for me next week.
She calls it some cough variant of asthma, not the typical wheezing kind you see. And my attacks are non-stop coughing fits which will never get well..and even if it does, it comes back again and again. Treatment? Use Ventolin Inhaler...argh...
Ok, actually it's just an inhaler isn't it? But still, it's a drug! And I think I have been taking ENOUGH drugs over the past dunno how long. Now that I finally don't have to take ANYTHING ANYMORE, I'm given this so so fantastic surprise (oh boy, don;t I luuurrrrvvvvveeee surprises...) that maybe I'll have to start using Ventolin. Spray it when I'm having those fits..meaning I have to bring that inhaler whereever I go...what a pain..
Will see what the results will show when I get my spirometry test done. I hope I'm not asthmatic...
