Don’t forget it ?

Asthma is the prevalent chronic disease in the US but with forms ranking from mild to severe. Many people think that exercises, yoga or some natural treatments may cure asthma. It may fit for people with mild asthma but don’t forget that 14 wheezy people die every day in our country. Read the news about Martin Baker who died last week at 21.
And thanks to our beloved federal government with its health projects, the situation will keeps deteriorating for poor people. I may think I am lucky to be working even if I am not seating on the front seat of the wealthy people but after 5 days of a bad cough I have to get back to work to pay for the medicine. And believe me, when you are suffering from severe asthma it means that I may expect some crisis in a few days.

Hi Tom, Thanks for leaving a comment on my site, and for linking to it. I read the article about Martin Baker. That's so sad. It's odd for me having been diagnosed with asthma as an adult. I never really struggled with it as a kid, though I guess my "winter cough" was probably cough-variant asthma. Anyway, I know by and large mine is usually mild, but it sure does get to me when it's acting up. I hope you feel better soon!
