Poll Do You Have Asthma?

[Ursa]

I do. Interesting thing is that yesterday I had the memory when my asthma started. It was in a situation that I got really hurt.

I have asthma. I was born with it.

OK so I did this poll a while back but I didn't explain my bit here.

I have asthma I was born with it, it settled down and I had no inhalers or anything through my youth, although I was severly allergic to cats-they would put me in hospital just being in a room where one had been, even a well ventilated and cleaned room .

I have a cat now and that exacerbated my asthma some, but it had already flaired back up after I had a bout of pneumonia that I was unable to look after myself properly through. I have had pneumonia twice since then also, so I understand about the lung scarring thing Evie.

I go through different periods of being able to regulate and look after myself-my lungs better, using preventers etc. I know again I have to work better on looking after myself in this area.

My mom has COPD and I may well develop it too if I haven't already, but I would like to better look after myself so I am able to stay around a bit longer. I am trying in some of this as best I can.

It is tough trying to keep finding the will and reason to look after yourself when you have such a low self worth, and the pTSD doesnthelp me on that one. But I have to try to do it, we all do, we have to take better care of ourselves in all or at least- as MANY areas as POSSIBLE.

have asthma and its at the point where if i had to deal with someone who smoked, co worker ect, I would have severe reaction to them and need half hour to recover away from them. By away i mean a whole other room. Cold bothers this, humidity in summer , basically cant really go anywhere in summer when its humid. winter have to scarf up and then i cant be out for long in the cold. can not have some cleaners even , im very reactive.
