if you have it you have it----- unless it is what they call childhood asthma, and some kids are lucky enough to grow out of it; this does not sound like the case for you. I have had asthma for 17 years now--- it sucks. what I take is q-var(an inhaled steriod) and singulare(the once daily pill that helps block glutatriemenes or some other shit) those two to gather have realy helped me. Also ask your doc for some albuteral.That is the one that will save your life if you have a sudden attack. Sorry to hear of the diognosis.YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE
