since I moved down here about 12 yrs ago I have never met another person suffering from this rare form of Asthma ,I have been told there are many of us, so where are they .??

Unfortunately not in your area but on the South East Coast...

Hello and welcome Julie lois,

Not sure what you mean by 're-severe' in the the title?

Don't know about forum users in Cornwall but there are several hundred thousand people in the UK with brittle asthma according to Asthma UK info mentioned below. You will find plenty of information and support here on the forum and the main site. There is some Asthma UK information on severe asthma including a factfile and report. There are people with all levels of asthma and different experiences, hence you will answers to most questions you may have.

For everyone on the forum, the best way to contact moderators if you have any concerns is to pm myself, Cathbear or Peaksteve rather than just clicking on 'report this link' at the bottom right of any post. We do have other commitments but look in on a regular basis. Terms and conditions agreed to when signing up are below the forum search box, look to the bottom left.

Well I am in Herefordshire! Know some in Somerset, Yorkshire, South East in fact all over the country we are scattered far and wide!

Hi I live in County Durham and unfortunately we are not as rare as I once thought!!!!! Hope all goes well for you at the other end of the country.

thank you for all the replies about having Severe Asthma, although the replies are around the UK and further I've had none from Cornwall.

I hope you are all ok
