I've had it since I was about 14. That was when we got the TB jab at school, although I cannot prove that that was what triggered it. In the beginning I just had Ventolin, but it gradually got worse over the next 10 years and for the past 12 years or so I have taken a steroid inhaler every day and Ventolin as and when I need it. I have had a number of really bad do's in the past when the doctor had to prescribe steroid tablets. Touch wood - my asthma has been much better since we moved away from the UK. Triggers for me are muggy weather, pollen (especially oil seed rape) and if I get a cold/flu. I avoid anything containing aspirin, cut down on dairy products in the summer months and also find that anything containing Nutrasweet/aspartame makes me wheezy. |

Looking at this thread it would appear that stress/pollen/weather be it hot or very cold are the most common factors - these three are certainly my triggers. Ann |

Lemon - wanting to know if anyone else is still having problems with pollen and heat - even though official count is finished - my reactions still seem to be same - confined to house and the air cooler. Ann |

I do not sneeze but am coughing and wheezing except when in lounge with air cooler - needless to say sweet fanny adams has been done for about last 2 weeks! So the high pollen must still be about - was beginning to wonder in case something else was wrong with me. Off to N. Devon in about 10 days time - breathe in plenty of sea air - cannot come quick enough. |
