Hi. I agree there are a lot of courageous people on here, and I think you’re one of them.

You’re not a wimp. It’s normal to be scared. It sounds like you’re forging ahead in spite of it all and are evidently a strong person given all that you’ve been through. Not to mention, you’re seeking help and I think that is very brave.

Since I’m new to all this too, I think others might have more helpful responses, but I’ll add my 2 cents.

My local pulmonologist has me on albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg. I think an allergy test could be helpful. I have had mixed results with these tests. I took my first one probably more than 10 years ago and came up with all sorts of allergies. It was a scratch test. The one I took last year when I started out on this journey showed absolutely no allergies. I did both scratch and blood. Take that for what it’s worth. There may be other tests out there that are more informative/reliable.

Good luck as you go forward, and I hope you continue to see improvements and keep exacerbations at bay.
