Help - Asthma/bronchitis, Menstration & Chronic Colds
Posted: 01-11-07 22:12pm

This is all true. Please, someone help us.

My fiance (female, 23 years old) has chronic asthma & bronchitis. She lives in the van nuys, california area (bad air). She has sleep apnea but cannot use a bipap machine without getting very sick the following day. Therefore, she doesn't usually get proper amounts of oxygen into her blood. Her immune system has been comprimised by stress and diabetes. She has had some cancer that was removed (uterus and close to her heart, not in or on). About 1 1/2 years ago she had a benign tumor removed from inside the front of her skull. She was also severly abused by her father from the age of 3 to 17 and now has chronic nightmares everynight.

Last month when she got her period she became sick with a terrible cough, sore throat and ended up at the hospital where they gave her antibiotics. Yesterday she started her period and once again these symptoms are back and she feels miserable with a pounding headache (from all the couphing), running nose, watering eyes.

I am beginning to think these symptoms are lung related (bronchitis). Her asthma has not been properly treated by a specialist and she can't even see one for at least 6 weeks. Can anyone offer any advice or share thoughts?

Thank you in advance.
