Hello, My name is Alexandra and at present am being tested for asthma, the nurse practitioner that is monitoring me has told me that this could take up to three months to get a definitive diagnosis. another string to add to my bow of many ailments.

Hi! Yes, it took bout that long for me I seem to remember. First is was the X-rays and blood tests, and then the asthma nurse. Two or three appointments with her. But we got there in the end.

Hi Alliecat, Well, I'm new to this asthma lark but am a veteran as far a some other medical problems I have. I was given my nickname of Alicat when I went to boarding school from someone I still keep in touch with, I went from Alexandra to Alex to Ali then Alicat. If you mean then fun stuff like desperate for fresh air, risk opening the window just a little then parks & gardens start mowing the lawn (we have a communal garden & council mow it) then have to batten down the hatches to prevent or minimise the wheezing then I know what you mean.
