Last night I had the worst asthma attack I've ever had.

I should have gone home a lot earlier than I did, but I was fighting giving into it, wanting to stay out and play. When I finally did go home I couldn't find my inhaler right away and I started to panic, searching the house, running back and forth until the world got very dark and very small and I woke up on the floor.

Today I hurt all over. The inside of my chest feels like there is a brick in it, my throat is raw, the muscles around my rib cage are aching, I'm covered in bruises, I have a bump on my knee and a matching one on my bean.

The irony of all this is that a major topic of conversation at the pub was the bylaw that goes into effect in Toronto on Tuesday, making all bars and clubs smoke-free.

I said I couldn't wait. Make that times 10.

sorry to hear you had such a rough time :( hot ginger tea will help soothe your muscles from the inside and i would suggest taking a painkiller too to help those muscles relax. also if you have a gym ball, lying on it and letting your arms stretch out (like a starfish) will open all those muscles up and let you breathe a bit easier too. even though i've not had an asthma issue in over a year, i always make sure i have mine with me. i think what you went through is probably my worst nightmare!
