Hi whiteboy, sorry to hear that.. not good news. I know about the puffer thingies, have several of different colours!
My experience is that asthma is containable i.e. with a little care, shouldn't / needn't have any major effect on your lifestyle - assuming you're not a free climber or into other radical sports!
Of course, you're right: no more smoking, for sure, though I think you'd already made that decision.. Wish I had years ago when I was first diagnosed!
Anyway, bets of luck, hope the infection clears up soon.
Oh yes and.. worth a) asking for more than 1 puffer at a time (I go abroad often so they make sure I am fully equipped ;)) and b) getting a pre payment card which saves money in the long term.
Hi Whiteboy My daughter got asthma (never smoked in her life) And shes fine if she takes her pumps. Well done on your 16day soon tobe 17 Love linda xxxxxxxxxx
