As a regular person who works a 9 to 5, I have no time to see the doctor. I always postpone my appointments knowing full well I will never make it. “I am too busy to go for a check-up.” I used to murmur these words to myself constantly until I had a reason to be at the doctors. Ever had a feeling that you are drowning underwater and your lungs are screaming for fresh air? That’s how it feels for me when I can’t breathe, but the difference is, I’m not underwater.
Urgh! It’s winter again!!
I can’t speak for others, but I dread the coming winter as it leaves me feeling like a rag doll. The cold winds always knock the air right out of my lungs. I can only work short hours due to the fact that I become so tired after about 5 to 6 hours of being on my feet. We only realise how much we take our health for granted when we actually start feeling sick.
I always enjoyed perfect health and had an active lifestyle until around 2014 when I started feeling sick. At 50, I didn’t think any sickness could ever make me not able to be my energetic self since I had never really been seriously ill before. Until one fateful morning, while preparing to open up my store downtown, I began having an unusual amount of difficulty breathing. I thought it was probably nothing more than a cold since it was common in my household during the winter months.
…see where my nonchalance led me.
After a while though, the cold symptoms left like I had thought it would. What I did not imagine was the inflammation that appeared in my lungs afterward. And it continually got worse. At the time, I had already gone to see the doctor, and I was told it would get better as the lungs have a way of cleaning themselves. I was never a smoker, and I didn’t know where this inflammation would have possibly come from. Still, I was optimistic that things would get better soon. However, it didn’t!
It took some time for the doctors to arrive at a diagnosis because I never had any major health issues in the past.
The doctor had to run several tests before he eventually concluded that it was asthma. He said, “Mrs. Collins, after numerous tests, I found out that the reason why you are having difficulty breathing is because you have asthma. You will need to undergo numerous different therapies and treatment. I will prescribe some drugs and an inhaler for you to help with the condition and we will see if your symptoms improve over the next few months.”
After the diagnosis, the doctor prescribed me with maintenance and relief medication to help improve my lung capacity As funny as it may sound, I just nodded my head while he was talking as I didn’t fully understand my condition, nor did I take the prescribed medication from the doctor. So my symptoms kept landing me in the hospital. At the time, my doctor didn’t explain the type of asthma I had, but it was identified later as eosinophilic, a chronic form of asthma – though the only allergic trigger I had was dust mites
For several years, I struggled controlling my symptoms, researching, and trying to understand the type of asthma I had. During this time, I had to go through a prolonged pneumonia period where the doctors carried out a lung biopsy to identify the causes. My husband, Joseph, has been a very caring man, the best I could ever ask for. During the recovery, he was always helping with managing the store. He came home one day while I was lying helplessly on the bed asking for prices of some products at the store. I think he sold some products for the wrong prices, we both laughed right there. I murmured to myself again that I was paying the cost of not taking care of myself when I should have.
After the lung biopsy, one of my lungs collapsed, it was one heck of a process! Asthma was starting to limit my activities gradually, causing me to abandon the store. One of the doctors would always say, “Keeping your asthma under control means we can do our normal activities with no hassle.” With time, I started to get frustrated at my inability to do certain things I would usually do, and I told my husband.
‘I am done, we have been doing this for a while now, and nothing seems to be working. I have to figure out what’s actually going on inside me. I don’t and have never smoked, so I don’t understand why I am being punished with this condition.”
After saying this, you would think I had it all figured out, and this would be a turning point for me. Unfortunately, I continued to suffer for some more years. Joseph, wanting to help, pleaded with me again to see the doctor and this time I went to a pulmonologist, he made it clear that my condition was a chronic one that must be treated.
I used to enjoy jogging every day, then proceed to go to work, but due to my condition, I could not jog anymore more. Though I still try to jog once in a while whenever I can gather the strength, I thought maybe if I had stopped jogging a long time ago, who knows if I would be dealing with this condition.
While trying to get answers to my condition and come up with a plan, some friends reached out to my husband during the period I was hospitalized. Some of them related to what I was going through either through someone they know or personal experience. You would be surprised to know that asthma is more rampant than people realize especially among adults.
In 2016, however, I started taking this biological medication, somewhat like an injection I take monthly; unfortunately, that also didn’t really help me to control my symptoms. I still carry with me an inhaler once in a while as a ‘just in case’ measure, but then again, it expired before I even used it, and this is because I have found a new inhaler that works best for me. Ever since I have been using this new method, my breathing has been better, and I can now go about my daily activities again.
For many years I have been struggling with asthma symptoms and educating myself about it, and how to manage it. I feel I’m in a great place now. Asthma has no known cure for now, but I believe you can get to a point of managing it as I did. To the point where you can live a peaceful life, even with the asthma diagnosis. You can learn ways to take care of these symptoms and also find out what triggers them. Although, I am not perfect when it comes to taking my new medication, and it usually bites me in the ass each time I don’t.
Last winter, I was at a family friend’s child christening. Joseph was helping with the barbeque while I was helping him with the sauce. He had already begun the fire for the barbeque, and as soon as the smoke hit my face, I felt this pain in my chest. It was as if a brick wall had fallen on my chest, and I was having a hard time lifting it. Joseph rushed me down to the ER where I had a treatment and medication. It took almost ten days to get back to my usual self again.
While being bedridden, in the midst of a business conversation, a friend of Joseph’s introduced us to the Himalayan salt therapy. Initially, I was skeptical about using it because I have tried other options and there was no difference. I always thought that something like the Himalayan salt therapy was a hoax and could never help in any way. I always tell Joseph that it was another gimmick to make lungs patients waste their money and as such, make someone else rich in the process.
…the therapy was another gimmick to milk people of their hard end money.
Not deterred my husband ordered the Himalayan salt therapy, and we received it in the mail in less than two weeks, and I started using it immediately. In less than five days, I was feeling much better, I realized aside from the therapy, I was not taking my prescribed medication either did I use my ‘just in case’ inhaler. The salt therapy does wonders, it breaks up the phlegm in my airways and with one cough, it broke loose and was out in no time allowing my airways to open.
The benefits I am getting from this product health-wise cannot be overemphasised.
Firstly, it is cheaper than visiting the local salt cave weekly, and it also has an easy to use portable and durable ceramic inhaler where you pour the salt in and inhale. For asthmatic patients like myself, the inhaler with all-natural pure Himalayan pink salt crystals has been a great help and a proven lifesaver. I take the salt inhaler more regularly than I did with other medicines that my pulmonary doctor prescribed in the past and after using the inhaler, I always feel better, and I could see the difference vs using my ‘just in case’ inhaler.
I can breathe easy now not an asthmatic patient, I feel like a new woman already. I need to admit that I have been overwhelmed, It works incredibly well and quick! There have been a few evenings where I have woken up to a stuffy nose, and immediately I grab my Himalayan salt inhaler and breathe through the inhaler for several minutes. My breathing has improved and usually inside 20 minutes after using the inhaler, I feel 100% better. This thing is mind-boggling thus worth using if you experience asthma as I do.
Let me also add that aside from the first inhalers I bought, I have also requested five more Himalayan salt lamps for my family and friends who are suffering from the same ailment that I am. One of the family friends we shared this product with messaged me after three days saying;
“Oh, my word! It was as if I was breathing in fresh air. The therapy opened up my lungs, and I started feeling like I could breathe normally again.”
Joseph and I are a massive fan of Himalayan salt therapy, and I would strongly recommend this to anyone with respiratory issues.
