Do you also gaslight yourselves?

Maybe this is more geared for us adult onset folks, but does anyone else gaslight yourself that maybe you’re just being dramatic, or maybe you really don’t have asthma?

I can struggle, wheeze, and hit my rescue inhaler, nervous that maybe this will be the time it doesn’t help and things become dire. The next day I’ll be back to thinking maybe I was just overreacting. 🥲

Salivary gland issues

I’m having issues with the salivary gland on my right, and I was wondering if you can visualize any stones or issues with it in this x-ray. Sorry, it’s the only one I took a photo of.

Also, any idea what’s going on with that very asymmetrical jaw? I do have bilateral TMJ. When I asked the dentist I basically got “Jaw stuff hard, go see specialist” as my answer. Thanks!

I have a new diagnosis of Adult Onset Asthma, and my doctor has started me on Singulair 10mg alongside my albuterol inhaler. But I’m so sleepy on it that it’s hard to function. This isn’t a body tired, it’s a “I need a nap” feeling.

This is day 8 on it, and I’ve already had to switch it from night to morning dosing due to nightmares. Did the sleepiness get better for anyone else, or do I just need a different medication?
