Colds and asthma do NOT mix well

[Betonov]

oooooh, another asthma sufferer, welcome to the club.
I had it since I was 5
And I agree, having a cold can be a b***, I can go trough an inhaler in a week when I have a cold or angina (or how do you call that disease when you have an extremly sore throat and fever)

One more question, how do you handle weather changes, If I wake up every half an hour during the night I know what kind a weather will be the next day

well, honestly i handle weather changes pretty well. But radical environment changes ?

i remember going from my school (in a town right next to azusa, California) to Catalina island in 7th grade.

We slept in these bunk-beds, but the first night i was struggling to breath, i was wheezing and i couldnt sleep.

same happened in my 6th grade trip to arrowhead, wheeeeeezing and struggling. Catalina was very dusty and pretty hot, and arrowhead was freezing cold winter. and both were very different from my towns conditions, so i has trouble adapting the first 2 nights


and "treatment" was using a nebulizer. its a nickname that stuck. Like when i was little and ate top ramen noodles me and my sister called them "curly noodles" and it stuck and i still call them that today.

im not sure what counts for a full blown attack. ive has times where i had pretty bad breathing problems but nothing like an "attack".

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that so many of us had asthma.

bunkbeds are a death trap for asthma sufferers, the dust levels are skyhigh

I used to have asthma as a kid - not nice, luckly it cleared up by the time I was 13.
And yet now I smoke

You'd think we'd also see a lot more cases around that time
