Self medicate dulu....
Mild cough and feeling more and more difficult to breathe. Feeling like asthma attack is just waiting to happen.
Puff my inhaler few times throughout the day. Doctor used to advise either 8 hours per day or 6 or 4 depending on severity. Similar to no. of times to take neb if I'm in the hospital.
Berbuka dgn air halia.
Sapu minyak di dada - diluted ginger essential oil.
Salbutamol tablet 4mg
Prednisone 2 tablets
Masih belum lega... tambah lagi 4 Prednisone tablets.
Alhamdulillah feeling much better.
Few hours later...
Baru lps mkn utk kali ke3 malam ni 😅
Prednisone side effect - lapar. Long term will lead to weight gain. Ada alasan kalau saya tak kurus2 😁 that's why amik ubat ni bila sgt2 perlu jer.
On a more serious note, the side effect of Prednisone
- lower immune system sbb dia kurangkan kesan bengkak / inflammation dgn suppress immune system function. Over active immune system akan cepat react dengan bendasing dalam badan jadi bengkak akan berlaku. In my case, respiratory system yg affected.
- Other than that is reduced bone density. Prone to osteoporosis. So hopefully dgn minum susu will help me fight this effect.
- increased blood sugar level. Once masa admitted, nurse bising2 ingat I diabetic till a doctor told her because of my meds. Phewww....
* banyak lagi scary side effect. Tapi kena weigh pros and cons. To breathe normally or NOT! Certainly the later, not an option at all.
Tadi masa sahur... terbaca post JAKIM pasal batal puasa guna inhaler. Geram betul. Memang ada khilaf kan. Senaraikan pandangan yang sokong pendapat dia jer. Dengan alasan ada peratusan air yg masuk rongga. Hmm... kumur2 mulut tu lagi byk peratusan air masuk rongga. Duk reply kat post tu sampai x perasan masa. Dpt lah last seteguk air just before azan. I'll stick with the other opinion. TQ.
