When I first found out I felt very lost because I was given no information, I was just told to take these medications and make a follow up appointment. I had been to urgent care numerous times and was still feeling terrible when they finally figured out I had bronchitis that took weeks of steroids and antibiotics to finally get over.I really felt like nobody was listening to me and that was frustrating. I am still new to this and trying to learn as much as I can. I don't have an emergency plan and that worries me. I wish the doctors would be more informative. One day at a time and knowing triggers and limitations is what I'm working on now. ☺

Thank you Lisa_H for sharing your Living with Asthma story!You are certainly in the right place as we have an entire online community that understands asthma and what you are going through as well.

It took me a while to build a relationship with my health care team- I ask lots of questions!
