The Derailing Thread

the Jake is a butterfly valve inside the exhaust pipe that closes and restricts the exhaust forcing the piston to fight against the pressure it wants to exhaust but can't. Drivers love it for down hill.

Still over my head.

I wanted to join the Air Force when I was 18, but I have chronic asthma so they wouldn't let me. I wanted to go to Japan. I have a good friend Stationed there.

Asthma depending on the severity isn't a career stopper .I have asthma

 

[Angel]

That one? I know that lighting always refers to with air defense artillery. The missile.the army school of heraldry would have to be asked.

Are you stationed in florida? Will you ever move? Where do you want to retire?

Unit insignias are approved by a school of heraldry. The same concept as a family crest that nobles used.in general .with unit patches ,if active ,red is cav,blue is infantry, yellow is armor.

Inhalers and the right type of steroid works.

Zrytec helps too.

Anti histamine. That prevents the reaction to an allergen bur not asthma itself.you still are producing those mucus plugs .I know I have that.nothing stops that.the meds reduce the tendency of the throat to close but don't do much for mucus.I may be wrong. Advair is all I have used

 

[jasonc]

I don't like being told when I will get out.I leave when I want.which I can at any time

 

[Angel]

i have symbicort

 

[jasonc]

i have symbicort

I have used that with advair when I was told the type of asthma I have.exercise induced

 

[Angel]

I have exercise induced, pet dander, mold, and pollen asthma issues.

 

[Angel]

I have to say:

Today is Matthew and I's anniversary of 8 years! He took me to lunch and bought me a dozen roses. :D :D :D

You have one type of asthma.the others things you mention are allergens any lung irritation will trigger asthma attacks.I have those frim colds,irritants in the air.

 

[Angel]

I was talking with my FIL and we agree that If it weren't for our medications we would probably be dead.

LOL, think for a moment, you are on the freeway or the interstate and as you and the Semi next to you start down the steep hill, suddenly the trucker lets off the fuel peddal and unknown to you he pulls a knob on his shifter console and the truck explodes hundreds of times a second sounding much like rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat so loud it might even hurt your ears. That is the Jake Brake keeping him from speeding up and wrecking the truck.

Either that or he is, like most young Truckers a letch and is slowing down to look at your legs and the old drivers are trying to get him to understand you are some father's baby girl, to leave you alone. (The sultry side of trucking.)
