I threw my inhalers away and I have not been back to my GP for a repeat prescription ever since

I spent well over 25 years of my life on asthmatic medication which served me well when it came to stopping me from having an asthma attack. So it was not suprising to find it difficult to let go of my inhalers. I continued to carry them in my bag for 7 years after becoming asthma free. Not having my inhalers with me made me feel stressed and anxious. Those conditions alone would have given me an asthma attack in the past. So I started by traveling down to the local shops without it and eventually taking a car journey without it. I did this enough times to travel further and further away from home without the inhaler.

I eventually decided to put myself in a very challenging position in order to be sure if my asthma would appear under extreme pressure. A good friend of mine had a birthday and I decided to buy her a long week-end away to Portugal. I booked us a holiday with spa and swimming pool. As the plane was taking off I turned to her and shared that I had not packed my inhalers. She has know me for years and understood how serious not having my inhaler was. However she also knew that I had been asthma free for years and that this was another one of my experiments on myself.

This was a very active week-end away. Walking, swimming and using the steam and sauna room. I returned from the holiday without experiencing any asthma symptoms. So I threw my inhalers away and I have not been back to my GP for a repeat prescription ever since.
