What brings you into the clinic today? | Question 07/22/20 5:43 PM EDT | |

Do you have any current health problem? | Question 07/22/20 5:44 PM EDT | |
I don’t have anything specific going on today. I mean, I still have asthma and diabetes, but both of those are under control. I’m taking good care of my health these days. | ||
What is your new job? | Question 07/22/20 5:44 PM EDT | |
I’m going to be an Accounting Clerk at Smith, Stevens, Stewart, Silver & Company. I’ll be helping a more experienced accountant with her clients, and then eventually I’ll get more responsibility, and build my own client list. I start in two weeks–I’m really excited! | ||
That is great. | Empathize 07/22/20 5:45 PM EDT | |
Thanks. | ||
When was your last physical exam? | Question 07/22/20 5:45 PM EDT | |
Let’s see . . . I had two doctor’s appointments earlier this year. About five months ago, I came in here for a check-up, and the nurse practitioner got me on metformin. Then a few weeks later I saw a gynecologist for a pap smear. | ||
What did your gynecologist say? | Question 07/22/20 5:45 PM EDT | |
She said everything looked good, except that I had PCOS, which the nurse here had said was possible. She started me on birth control, and it seems to be helping things. | ||
How often do you take birth control? | Question 07/22/20 5:48 PM EDT | |
I take it every morning, with breakfast. | ||
What is the name of the birth control pill you took? | Question 07/22/20 5:49 PM EDT | |

Thanks. | ||
How long have you had asthma? | Question 07/22/20 5:51 PM EDT | |
I’ve had asthma a long time. . . since I was really little. | ||
What age were you diagnosed with asthma? | Question 07/22/20 5:51 PM EDT | |
My doctor told me when I was pretty little… I think I was about two and a half? I used to have a lot of trouble with asthma attacks back then. | ||
I am sorry about the experience. | Empathize 07/22/20 5:52 PM EDT | |
Thanks. | ||
How do you manage your asthma? | Question 07/22/20 5:52 PM EDT | |
I try to avoid things that give me breathing problems, but when my asthma starts to act up, I just use my inhaler. | ||
What are your triggers for asthma? | Question 07/22/20 5:53 PM EDT | |
Being around cats is the worst, but dust and running up stairs can make my breathing bad, too. I haven’t had a full asthma attack in years, though. | ||
It is important to stay away from triggers. | Educate 07/22/20 5:54 PM EDT | |
Thanks for telling me. | ||
What happens when you are around dust? | Question 07/22/20 5:54 PM EDT | |
I used to have a reaction when I was in a dusty house for a long time. . . I would get allergies, like sneezing and stuff, and then my asthma would act up. But that hasn’t happened since I got my daily inhaler. | ||
What inhaler do you use? | Question 07/22/20 5:59 PM EDT | |
The daily inhaler is Flovent, and the rescue inhaler is Proventil. | ||
How often do you use Flovent? | Question 07/22/20 6:00 PM EDT | |
Twice a day. | ||
When did you most recently use the Flovent inhaler? | Question 07/22/20 6:01 PM EDT | |
I use my Flovent inhaler two times a day. | ||
When did you last use your inhaler? | Question 07/22/20 6:03 PM EDT | |
I used my Flovent inhaler this morning–I have to take it twice a day. My albuterol. . . I’ve maybe used it twice since I came in with those asthma problems. Once three months ago, and before that it had been months, too. | ||
How much Albuterol do you use? | Question 07 |
I have a few friends I’ve known since middle or high school, and we’re all pretty close. Plus I have my friends from church.
What is your relationship like with your family? | Question 07/22/20 7:39 PM EDT | |
Things are pretty good between all of us–we’re a tight knit family. I think we’re pretty special, the way we all get along. | ||
That is great. | Empathize 07/22/20 7:39 PM EDT | |
Thanks. | ||
Are you involved in church? | Question 07/22/20 7:39 PM EDT | |

Are you feeling stressed? | Question 07/22/20 7:40 PM EDT | |
I’m actually feeling really good lately. . . not stressed at all. | ||
How do you cope with stress? | Question 07/22/20 7:40 PM EDT | |
I’ve realized that I got kind of overwhelmed with everything back when I was having those sleep problems. Just coming in and talking to someone here about it helped a little because I felt like I was doing something. So I’ve been trying to address problems as they come when I can, and that helps. That, plus the stuff I’ve always done–going to church, especially–is all working well for me. | ||
That is good to hear. | Empathize 07/22/20 7:40 PM EDT | |
Thanks. | ||

No, I’m actually feeling really good these days. | ||
How do you feel about your life? | Question 07/22/20 7:41 PM EDT | |
Well, I’m starting my new job in two weeks, and I’m really excited about that. I’m going to be an Accounting Clerk at this really nice accounting firm. I’m hoping I’ll learn a lot in that position, and within a couple years, I’ll get promoted and be given new responsibilities. I just always want to be learning new things and getting better at my job. | ||
Are you feeling anxious? | Question 07/22/20 7:41 PM EDT | |
I guess I had anxiety back when I was having those sleep problems. . . I’ve been feeling much better lately, though. | ||
Do you have sleeping problems? | Question 07/22/20 7:42 PM EDT | |
I’m sleeping a lot better now, which is a relief. | ||
Good to hear. | Empathize 07/22/20 7:42 PM EDT | |
Thanks. | ||
How many hours are you sleeping a night? | Question 07/22/20 7:42 PM EDT | |
I’m usually asleep by 11:30, and I wake up at 8, so. . . about 8 or 9 hours a night. | ||
