All I can see is the Air Conditioner in the Security Post behind him.

If it is, then he is a great guy.

It's not about the superlative, "nebulised" - I know. It's about if it can be used to manage severe crisis. It's the same reason I told you it should be 'prescribed' and strictly taken during the crisis.
But seriously, I meant no offence to you in the exchange of words. It's raining now (asthmatic season) and I have no fears for the attack because I took the last shot over three months ago and my breathing is normalised. Likewise others that have used it to normalize theirs.
Asthma is not a sickness - it's a condition. The phlegm is the problem - it's very sticky and block your windpipe but if you can cough it out (often with the aid of the injections), you'll live a 'normal life'.
Take care, sir.

Dude, if you never new, know now, the route of administration of a medicine is as important as the medicine itself.

You posted a study on nebulised Salbutamol and adrenaline and the study even says there was not much difference between the two.
If you have ever taken Salbutamol through your veins you will know it is different from the inhaler.

Yes it's about the superlative too!

Need I say that on no algorithm for managing asthma is adrenaline indicated ( if you need adrenaline, then you need intensive care).
Nobody will discharge you home the same day.

Don't just pull out any thing you see online and try to make a point out of it.

Continue with your adrenaline shots, it's Nigeria after all.

If you prescribe your adrenaline to someone with background heart issues and he kpeme, I nor know nor dey o!

Take care too Sir!

I agree with you. Medicine is not mathematics. Treatment change with time. What is considered standard treatment today can become dangerous in few years time. There is no one size fits all. As long as you get the necessary relief and it's has been able to keep you alive and less pain for over five years, then you are alright.

It's the same thing with malaria. I am very prone to malaria and I struggled all the way from childhood to adulthood with malaria. In fact anytime I do blood test, there was always some degree of malaria in my blood. My drug of choice all through my childhood was chloroquine. But since about 10 years ago, I was informed that chloroquine has been banned. The doctor said it has all sorts of side effects, some of which are fatal. No so my wahala start o. I have tried every new drug in the market, it only help me for about 2 weeks to a month. After a month or so I am down again. I buy some of the drugs for up to N4, 000. Same thing with my children.
Last month I got so frustrated and went to my chemist friend, I told him want chloroquine injection , morning and night for 3 days. I told him I would pay him anything. He agreed. After that intensive regime for 3 days, I became very weak, but I recovered after 2 days. A week later I went to test again for malaria, and for the first time in years, they could not find one plasmodium parasite in my blood.

After this I tool all my children for injection (although on a less intensive regime), and today, they too are malaria free. What I do now, to keep the malaria at bay, is to take Fansidar every 2 weeks.

So different strokes for different folks.

Chloroquine was stopped because of resistance not for any side effects.

Get the facts right.

I am sure if I also do blood tests, there might be traces of the Malaria Parasites in my blood, but I don't feel ill¿

But it's not Chloroquine we are talking about here.

Anyway...

scriptaz18:
Seriously, shot? Thank you but that prescription has kept me alive today. If you are a health worker, ill suggest you update your knowledge on the use of adrenaline. Mind you - as little as the liquid content is, you take three shots within 10 minutes and it is advisable to be used in time of crisis (like I said in my first response before you took me around this grammatical exercise).
Bros, I no wetin I dey talk. Go and Google it. Thank you.



NB: You can read here (it's a reputable global medical website) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3691679/

Did you read 'nebulised' adrenaline?

Did you read that there was no marked difference between nebulised adrenaline and Salbutamol?


If you need adrenaline shots for your asthma, then you need intensive care.


You think Adrenaline is child's play?

Issorait

scriptaz18:
Like you said, "it's your life" - thank you. This is the more reason people need to understand the meaning of "abuse". It's a prescription given to me (like others) by a health professional in 'Ayinke House'. I've been on it for over five years and it has improved my 'asthmatic management'.
That a drug has an adverse effect has to do with the abuse of the intake - Tramadol is a very good drug (medicinally) but because of the abuse, people say all sorts of things about it.
You are not asthmatic (I don't pray you become one as I pray for healing for those of us who are) - the pain and the difficulties to breathe come from the heart. The adrenaline (shot after a shot) gives your heart the strength for you to cough out the phlegm that are blocking the passage of air.
See, inhaler are never effective then - you puff in but the phlegm bounces it out. Hence, the need for aminophline (intravenous) to help you cough them out. Or better still, the adrenaline for a faster reaction.
Like I said, you no know the pain pass people wey wear the shoes.

The prescriber should be shot!

You know nothing about what you are saying, nothing at all.

...but it's all good.

Enjoy!

SenecaTheYonger:
Maybe you sell Salbutamol inhaler? Anyways, no one should use it that frequently.

Where did you get this from?

scriptaz18:
You don't seem to understand me - I'm not arguing or here to subtly insult you. I speak intelligently to you as a sufferer, which you are not, let alone a health professional.
My reference is on the 'crisis stage' - adrenaline's reaction to stop a raging attack is quicker than aminophline. Get this right - they don't inject it at once; it's a shot after a shot.
I speak about what I know as a sufferer and other sufferers' experiences as well. You'll do more to Google about the treatment of asthma with adrenaline than for you to droll over what you don't know or have a firsthand experience about. Thank you.

You don't knowwho I am or what I do for a living...


If you need an adrenaline shot for your asthma, you should be in Intensive care.
You are misusing it and you don't want to understand.

You also realise aminophylline isn't first line treatment, though it is abused in Nigeria?

The day someone's heart will stop with all this rubbish people do...

Anyway, it's your life, but please don't recommend what you know nothing about to people.

SenecaTheYonger:
Are u even asthmatic? Salbutamol is a death sentence. I used to use a special honey found in GH for over 8 years to keep my asthna at bay. Only for me to come back to 9jeria without it for a funeral. 3 months in, I get my first attack. No honey in this country works. So I buy Salbutamol.

Worked first time. Worked second time, now I start getting attack daily. Wtf!!!

Google Salbutamol, finds out it kills the lung slowly. I can literally feel my lungs blocking even after using it.

Got to the hospital, doc says to take perdisolone, 1 tablet, twice a day, 5 days total.

Haven't had an attack in 3 months.

Yh, fvck inhaler.

You don't even understand how the medicines work.

Do you know what the prednisolone does for you?
The five days you use it for, is it as a reliever or preventer?

Moreso the dose you are using is all wrong, thankfuly it's low.

Was that the only thing your doctor said or gave to you? ( Sounds quackish if that's the only thing)

Anyway, whatever works for you-- it's not my body it's going into.

I will rather inhale a steroid, than swallow it.

P.S-- Salbutamol is not a death sentence. People with COPD use it like they are drinking water.

SenecaTheYonger:
Why?

Do you know what steroids can do to you?

Whatever happened to using a simple salbutamol inhaler or 'Seretide' to control the asthma, if it is really disturbing you-- and by that I mean like 2 attacks a weak.

Steroids should only be used after you have a hospital visit for the asthma-- uncontrolled by the above methods.

Because you can get your hands on it, in a lawless society as ours doesn't mean it is harmless.

Sofry sofry o!

scriptaz18:
Sir/ma, are you asthmatic? If Yes, is it severe? I'm talking about 'adrenaline injection' - ask any health professional you know, it's very reliable when an asthmatic sufferer (not patient) is in crisis.
I only take in 'severe' time.
About the dosage - it's once (I don't know how I will 'just kill' myself with it.
Why I suggested three is for him to have it in store - that injection is very scarce. I'm not asking him to take the three at once - Haba!

You understand there is a protocol to treat Asthma?

When you inject yourself (anyhow) with a medicine that can stop your heart, you are only playing with fire.

You have an asthma attack and the next thing is an Adrenaline shot?!


Next time just inject yourself in the heart directly, so it will work faster.

wirinet:
Drinking snail water without boiling it? That's suicide. Snail is the second most deadly animal to humans after the ubiquitous mosquito.

Very bad advice.

Don't mind the Yaba left escapee!

scriptaz18:
I'll advise you learn how to inject him because of emergency attack - I'm asthmatic (severe) but my saving grace is that I compelled my spouse to learn how to inject me. She's not a nurse but she's good at injecting - only me.
Now, another shocker is that most health professionals don't know how to diagnose or diffuse asthma or its attack - they have their conventional way of using amynophline injection, which most often takes time to subdue an attack.
Always have 3 dose of adrenaline injections handy: it's the best and sure antidote for attacks.
Extra - ask him to take his franol tablets, even when he's not having an attack. God will heal him.

Adrenaline like paracetamol, you will just kill yourself!

SenecaTheYonger:
Start her on prednisolone, sold under the Brand name Perilon. I used to use inhaler before, but man, that shit made my asthma worse. They said that the salbutamol releases a chemical in the lung that relives you, which is true, but it makes it your lung worse off. So, you practically become dependent on it. But I started using prednisolone, and I haven't used inhaler in months. Take two, morning and night for five days. See if there's any improvement. Please, tell her to also practice stomach breathing, because most asthma patients breath with their chest, very very bad. God bless.

You will just kee yourself.

SoNature:
For what?

Mtcheeeeewwww

We used to watch live then.

The soldiers would wear masks so that nobody could identify them.

Trust me, if this country isn't rid of criminals, you won't be alive typing on Nairaland today.

So this country is rid of criminals?

How about those that have stolen your future and that of your children?

starbuck:
I can remember when our Pitbull and Rottweiler nearly used me for breakfast because dad missed the usual time for their breakfast... I was jejely coming out from the front door thinking that it was the usual play play when the next thing I saw was blood oozing out from my left arm and the other one aiming my stomach ....

When mom saw what happened and Dad wasn't doing anything to keep them out, she used broom and nack them for head... Believe me, the next week, mom poisoned the dogs and told dad he should do his worse ... Dad has buy a new breed too ( German shepherd and rottweiler) Cross breeding them till date

That mark is still their though....

If I were your Dad, I will just jejely leave your mummy before she poisons me too and asks my parents to do their worst!

BroAchival:
Greetings to this great house,

As I type this message, my heart is heavy.

Up till today, I have never known my genotype till I went to do medical fitness test for my job/employment process.

I've being dating by girlfriend for about two years and seven months now, and I've always seen her as a perfect match to me, not because she's perfect, but because she's very loyal, reserved and calm, respectful, teachable, willing to learn, beautiful and very supportive to say a few.

Kai, the thought of losing her is killing and unexplainable. She had been a BLESSING to me all these while.
We've really worked on ourselves and helped each other to overcome our weaknesses.

With the challenges of my new and better job, will I really have that time to woo women and start the process of working on a woman to blend and suit me?

And this is a girl I'm planning to settle down with by the middle of next year, after I must have gotten used to my new job.

I have always believed that my genotype would be AA, but I was wrong!

Somebody told me that there's nothing God can not do, that he has seen people giving testimonies about change of genotypes. I didn't doubt him, it's just that i'm not the "churchious" type who easily believe all those stories.

Now, my questions are:

1.) Is it possible to have just two children without an SS child?

2.) How do I relate this sad news to her (after she has turned down several serious marriage proposals because of me)?

3.) Please, what do I do?

Please, help me and send this to front page for greater views and advice.

Matured and very serious advice needed.

Thanks.

I personally know a doctor who is Genotype AS alongside his wife. He found out after doing a confirmatory test while his wife was pregnant.

In this age, two AS people can marry.

Options--

1.IVF
2. Genetic testing while pregnant ( the doctor did this in his case)
3. Have normal conception and just hope ( a friend, a Doctor, has 2 AS parents, and all the 3 kids are fine). This is a game of chance though.

The first 3 options are your real 'sure banker' medical options!

If I get a women I am madly in-love with, AS/AS cannot stop me o!

This is the 21st century.

I doubt this women will smell good in their body crevices.

While I am not advocating for Picasso art on their faces, a woman should groom herself.

I have met a number of these very conservative Christians and some of them have a whiff of that B.O.
Deodorants to them, is also a sin.

Me, I can't touch a woman like that!
I am too young to die.

OROSUNBOLB:
Anthony! Anthony!! Anthony!!!! That shortie from Mexico must NOT beat you again o !

You realize that shorty if 6 feet 2 inches tall?
I hope you are taller!

PureFace1:
Go and watched it on U tube and stop asking questions


He knocked out Robert Whittaker twice

Or you meant to say a knock down?!


Your ignorance of combat sports is soooo glaring!

PureFace1:
Yes he knocked out Robert in the first and second round

Knocked out?

Do you know what you are saying?

darkelf:
I won't advice that.

It may slow him down.

That's why there are weight classes in fighting sports like boxing, kick boxing and MMA.

If you try to force yourself above your normal weight, it may spell doom for you as a fighter.

Mikey Garcia vs Errol Spence comes to mind.

Mikey Garcia was normally a light weight who tried forcing his way to welter weight and got punished for it by Errol Spence who was a natural welterweight.

You can google it or watch on YouTube

Dude, don't try to school me.

People climb up and down weight classes, with no problems... Pacquiao ( several weight classes), Canelo, Roy Jones Jr ( from middle weight to heavyweight), James Toney (same), Evander Holyfied...

Adesanya is 6,4ish... Jones is 6,5ish, so what's the problem?

Nobody should bring that excuse.

ThierryJay:
Whittaker also had a wrestling background, his grappling skills were supposedly better than Izzy's. He was supposedly a tougher beast. But Izzy has put all these postulations to the dustbin.

One thing I know is that Izzy appears to be motivated more to overcome his supposed shortcomings as evidenced in his matches against Gastellum and Rob. The guy's winning mentality is second to none. If he really sees Jon Jon as a challenge, I bet you in a few years, he'll Bleep JJ up.

And your reference to Izzy's match against Anderson is not entirely correct. It was obvious Izzy was showing Anderson, his mentor, a lot of respect. He was actually toying with Silva most of the match.

Jones is another kind of animal.

The shorter Gastellum and Rob tagged Adesanya good a number of times-- which I thought he would have avoided with his reach and kickboxing experience.

He dropped Robert after a reckless exchange with his eyes closed-- his eyes were actually closed!
That exchange could have gone either way.

The only person with impressive striking skills he has faced is Anderson and it was difficult.

Jones has very incredible striking and can grapple wonderfully.

To be honest Adesanya's grappling is not fantastic.

I repeat Jones is another kind of animal, buh...let's see them fight, let's see what happens.

PureFace1:
That was what you all said until he knocked out Robert twice

Knocked out Robert twice?

darkelf:
Oga, they are not even in the same weight category.

Jones is a light heavy weight while adesanya is middle weight.

It can't happen

What if he eats more food, won't he be light heavyweight?

Ok o!

Push him like Atiku!

ola33t:
Even lots more . Jons is scary.

I hope we are wrong, but the same way they pushed Atiku, they are pushing Adesanya.

Gustafson that gave him issues the first time, he beat like a baby the second--Jones is a Killer!

Hotzone:
I love wrestling to this! Ronda from ufc enter wwe, Becky Lynch floored her. Same as Lesnar and Israel will not be the last

You realise WWE is acting right?

Yeah, I was shocked and disappointed when I found out too!
Just like when you learn Santa Claus is a hoax.
I felt I wasted my childhood.

You should watch when CM Punk tried MMA, he was beaten like a child!

Emceesaka:
Na so una talk say Whittaker is also a beast. Isreal Adesanya will still beat him Las las

If you have seen Jones fight, you know he is not someone you just jump at-- he is a beast.
Very calculated and rounded ( striking and grappling)

I am not sure of Adesanya's grappling skills-- they are a bit suspect!
His striking skills are superb yes, but His grappling is not so convincing

Jones however has a wrestling (real wrestling) background. I think he has only been taken to the ground once in his career ( Cormier Vs Jones 2).
That's a very big achievement.

I would like to see it sha, but remember if Silva (at his age) could push him that far, how much more Jon 'Bones' Jones!

ola33t:
Hater? When Israel is my special favorite boy. I'm only being realistic.
Yea, they are in different divisions. I just don't want a situation where Jons will give my boy a life injury, but no harm in trying, he should only be careful, Jons is full of sudden dangerous attacks.

Those elbows to the face...!

PureFace1:
Even if Jones Is a beast, . Adesanya is also another beast

The fight would be like a football match, it will be difficult to predict the outcome


But I can belt on Adesanya to pick him apart

Ha, please don't bet o, your money go lost!

lloyds:
That guy should go and find something better to do. . That sport is too bloody brutal and dirty.

Come and give him a job naw, Dangote!
