I've had the worst year ever with my asthma. Finally started on Symbicort twice a day which has helped but have had at least 6 bad attacks this winter. Had one at work last week that scared my coworkers because apparently my face turned purple. It has seriously impaired my riding because on top of it I found out in December that I am pretty anemic too. Really bad combo but certainly explains why I'm having so much trouble riding hills and into the wind. The bad thing is that I can't take iron supplements because they really messed up my GI system, I'm not that fond of red meat and after eating about 8 bags of spinach a week for the last 2 months my Hgb dropped another half a gram! With the weather warming up and cycling season here I'm apprehensive about riding because I don't want to have an attack and I get so pi$$ed at myself for my poor performance.
