Agony
What does an asthma attack feel like?
It feels like Big Boy & Bruce Bruce are having a head-to-head dance contest on my chest. Pure agony. Not a great feeling at all. I think Bruce Bruce is doing the A-Town Stomp. God help my poor lungs.
[Edit- 4/6/2005 9:12pm] I went to the hospital last night with symptoms of an asthma attack. I couldn't breath and that's a terrible feeling. I arrived to the ER at 7pm and I didn't leave until 6am this morning. I think I got tested for everything imaginable. At about 5am, the doc comes into my room to tell me that my ct scan looks fine, but my chest x-ray was a bit of a concern. I had some swelling in my chest making it difficult to breath. Each time I breathed in, I felt a sharp pain go through my chest and my shoulders. I was diagnosed with a condition called Pleurisy. Pleurisy is the swelling of the tissue or something in between the lungs & the ribs. I'm on bed rest for the next 3 days. I feel like CRAP.

ah damn sis, i hope your feeling better! Wow, pleurisy huh? i remember reading a bit about it when i was a bio major, not cool stuff. do you know if there will be any significant scarring in your lung tissue (i forget the scientific name)? I will be praying for you though. 3 days rest is kind of interesting though...a little parallel to the Holy One :)

I know how you're feeling, as I've had several asthma attacks. I hope you feel better soon.
