Asthma

I have been diagnosed with asthma and mild emphasyma due to my years as a cabaret singer when they allowed smoking in pubs and clubs. I have never smoked. It scares me when I'm ill as i now often need steroids and get very breathless. I lost my 18 yr old daughter to an asthma attack in 2007 so I know how dangerous it can be.

Bless you! Nothing worse than losing a child. Take care to use your inhalers properly. If you have a peak flow meter make sure you use it so that you may get some warning of an oncoming attack or infection so that you can up your inhalers and get to the Doc for antibotics.
