breathing easy
Today was my asthma test.
It was kind of neat. They pumped my lungs full of various concentrations of histamine, and then had me blow into a tube while a computer tracked my lung capacity. No pressurized box this time, but I got to watch my lungs perform on screen.
Final result of the test: I DON'T HAVE ASTHMA.
Let me just repeat that for those of you who may not have gathered the full import of what I am saying here.
I. DO NOT. HAVE ASTHMA. There is NOTHING permanently wrong with my lungs.
Anybody want some Advair 250's? That's a chunk of money I'll never have to throw away again. Ha.
The down side to all this is that now that I have to figure out why the hell I can't friggin' breathe. The most likely candidate is allergies. Which doesn't make me happy. I don't have a lot of faith in that particular branch of medical science.
But still. I don't have asthma. Love a duck.
For my next trick I'm going to regain normal eyesight and grow a prehensile tail.

Would a HEPA filter or the like be of any use?
