Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I am glad Evie is feeling better now. Pneumonia is of course dangerous for people with asthma. Does she have a pneumonia shot?
I wish Evie a further improvement, and you all a safe trip!
Take care,
Linda

Yes Linda, Evie receives a pneumonia vaccination every 5 years, however it only protects her against the life-threatening strains of the illness. Unfortunately she may still develop milder pneumonias which can lead to life threatening asthma attacks.

On a happy note however, she is far improved since the weekend, the antibiotics and prednisone are working rapidly as usual. Her cough is almost completely gone this morning, so likely the travelling tomorrow will be uneventful for her, at least from the standpoint of her lungs. Her attitude has far improved as well.

Thank you all for your wishes, please do have a safe and happy holiday, and I will speak with you more in the new year.

Yeah, unfortunatelly there are different causes for pneumonea :( However, I am glad the meds helped Evie. Hope she will enjoy the trip.
I have asthma, too, and cold wleays make things worse. Once during my trip to Russia I got a pretty severe cold. And the goal of the trip was to work in animal shelters there. Well, I could make it to the shelter, and even could work, although could not talk... But finally was treated by the shelter vet, who gave an epi shot and prescribed steroids. Guess I am the only American sucessfully treated by Russian shelter veterinarian!
