A little bit of information at first: I have a low-grade form of astma, it's linked to my allergies, and ussually takes off when I'm allergic. I medicate every day ussually.
Last night, I had a buddy over, and we went to his brothers house. The reason for this was that he owed his brother some money, and he needed to be repayed quickly.
We did so, however, his brother had gotten a little cat. A quite young one, not nudered either. And they had quite a mess of an appartment, infact filthy.
Ussually this wont be a problem, as I will have my medicine, and will take it quickly, however, this time I didn't have it. In fact, I hadn't have it for like 2 months almost, since I've been out of it. And I haven't gotten around to going to the bank and getting money to be able to go to my pharmacist to buy more medicine.
Hence I was more susceptible to the cat-allergy, and quckly got worse. Another contributing factor was probably that I had moved to the city from the practically wilderness, and I have had some problems with my eyes for instance, from the new environment.
In the village where I used to live I had a friend that had a cat, an older cat, wich was neuttered, and a house that was clean. I had had some milder probs there, but I always had my meds, and nothing severe really came of that. I also seemed to had evolded a bit more tolerance to that kitty over the 2+ years that I got into contact with it.
Eventually I had to say that: "Dude, I'm not feeling very well from the cat, I gotta go." We quickly did so. I continued to get worse trough the course of the night, and eventually after quite a hussle from me mom & friend I agreed to go to the hospital. In hind-site I think it was really the only thing doable, since I might have gotten very bad during the night, asleep.
It was a bit embarrasing tho. I've never had to be rushed to the hospital for my allergy. But there you go, don't dally with your meds people, it will f*ck you up.
I was gonna post a topic last night called "I can't breathe" but the oxygen depravation maid me tired n slow as a slug crossed with a turtle. When I got to the hospital I got to breathe in one of those things wich you see on tv, that gives you medical fumes, I got better quite quickly, and it felt quite good get some good deal oxygen again.
I also discovered the lovelyness of Ventrillum or some similar name to that med, it obviously made it easier for the oxygen to be taken up by the lungs. It also made me shaky as hell, and tasted sweet. As another side-effect I got quite a bit tired (mind you I was already tired from oxy-dep & the fact that it was 2,30 in the morning) and I got a bit titsy sweeet feeling.
As I'm writing this I'm quite shaky still, even tho it has improved my typing speed somewhat.
I had a nice little allergy shock

A snail is a slug crossed with an oyster.
A slug crossed with a turtle is more like a fish.
