Adult Onset Asthma

I am Nita. I had asthma as an infant and at one point was told I no longer had it. Later, as an adult, I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Asthma. Is this a true thing or have I had Asthma all along that went into remission for awhile?

Hi Nita! Thanks for sharing your experience and your photo! You have lovely hair :)

Asthma remission is how your doctor described it? How are you doing now?

I also had pretty bad asthma as an infant, but since my teen I just experience the odd wheeze (usually when I have a cold) - did you have that during remission?
