I'm not sure what is going on here. Times have changed yet asthma is getting worse. Scary.
Yes....and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus are reaching near epidemic proportions......scary, indeed.
I developed asthma in my 40's. Cold air was the number one trigger for me but eventually I was short of breath nearly round the clock. I was treated by my primary care physician but I felt I was getting worse...sucking on that albuterol canister all day.
I went to an allergist who discovered that the only allergies I had were to cats,which I knew, and oak. He took me off all of the meds my Dr. had prescribed and gave me Pulmicort. I feel as though I am asthma fee. Not a single episode in over a year and I have never opened my albuterol prescription since it's last refill in July.
The allergist is stunned by my progrss. According to him my lung function is nearly 100%. Can you outgrow adult onset asthma?
