Hello everyone,
I know this is very off-topic but I know I can always come to you guys for great advice and information. My boyfriend, Will is suffering with Asthma. And it's becoming very bad in the past few of weeks. The thing is Will doesn't have health or prescription insurance. He was in the army last year and was honorably/medically discharged because of his asthma and his life long dream was crushed. Thankfully he didn't stay in the army because who knows where he would have ended up and I'm a strong believer in everything happens for a reason. I'm at a loss, I really don't know what to do. Last night was extremely bad and he was up 7-10 times having trouble breathing. It's very hard seeing him like this, Because I know as just as most of you how frustrating it is not to be able to breathe. I'm very worried about him. I'm trying to get him an appt. with my PCP this week. But it's going to be very hard because were really hard up for money.
I'm finding it very hard to be on the other end of an illness, (Always the patient, Never the caretaker.) I know this is affecting him so much and it's just so hard. I know if we go to the ER or another type of emergency medical facility they will charge us an arm and a leg. So, I'll call my family doctor today and see what he can do for us. I apologize for rambling a bit, I guess this post is a kind of venting post but any words of wisdom that you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has any good sites that I can go to learn more, I've been to the general WebMd sites but they don't offer much info. Thanks in advance for any information. And once again thanks for listening to me vent. Take care all and God Bless.
