I'm a Newbie to the this site...but sadly not to asthma!

[Pingu-forever]

Hi everyone out there, I'm a severe asthmatic under the FABULOUS care of the Royal Brompton Hosptial in London. Had asthma as long as I can remember - which is too long!!! Hate the fact that when I look in the mirror...alll I see is a "moon-faced" version of me. I have a love/loathe relationship with pred - I love the fact that it's keeping me alive....but I loathe the side effects! I tend to try to be self deprecating and jokey about my asthma - it's my coping mechanism - but it doesn't mean I don't take it seriously. Looking forward to chatting to like minded people. Sending hugs xxx
