Einar - if your medication wears off while doing deco, you can expect to
not be able to breath very well, if indeed you can stop caughing. If
that happens, go to back gas and get your meds. Oxygen or high ppo2
gasses in doses more than 18 minutes long will cause swelling of your
lung tissue, and that is virtually the same as asthma. So in your case,
you give asthma to your asthma with the oxygen.

Einar, in case you thought the stuff you wrote below makes any sense,
read what you wrote again.
