Forgive me if this is a bit discombobulated, I'm working on short sleep and a fuckton of albuterol.
Friday evening at around 9 I realized that my asthma was bothering me enough that I needed to get a breathing treatment. After some checking the internet a bit I discovered that the only urgent care places remotely near me (remote being the key word in that sentence) had been closed for most of an hour, at least. So, after some debate with myself, I got my aunt to give me a lift to the nearest ER.
At the ER I got a nebulizer, a bunch of prednizone and a prescription for more prednizone. I was still feeling tight, but a lot better.
Saturday, my asthma is still bothering me, but it's not as bad as it was Friday, and is responding to my inhaler.
Sunday, asthma still a pain, still responding. Decide to go ahead with my plans to spend the night with my BF in his dorm. Tightness in my chest, but not really bad. Take a couple puffs on my inhaler. 2am, I haven't been able to sleep much because of my breathing, it's not responding to the inhaler. Determine I need to go back to the ER. Try to get a ride, discover that it's going to be at least half an hour for either my aunt or a cab to get there, and get Safety and Security to call me an ambulance. Yay. EMT can't hear any wheezing, talking to me with a tone of voice that makes it absolutely clear he thinks I'm an idiot.
Get to the ER, get another nebulizer, this one actually clears my lungs. They give me a space for my inhaler, tell me to follow up with my Dr asap. Finally get out of there about 5am.
Get home get some sleep (much to my surprise). Got an appointment tomorrow at 10:45 with another Dr in the practice, mine's not back 'till thurs. My lungs are a little tight again, not nearly as bad as they were, but I'm pretty freaked out, my asthma has never done something like this before.
