Hi krishwaecosse, good point. I’ve never had a quantification or classification of my asthma either. Only the blanket illness. Maybe a good question for our doctor on our next visit? Let us know what they say, we are also interested in knowing.

Thank you for sharing with us, krishwaecosse. Your situation at work is understandable. Thank you also for teaching, it can be a really intimidating position, especially with early adolescents. I can understand why you’re stealthy about it; I was too as a youth climbing coach.

Having asthma flares shouldn’t make you feel unhealthy though. We…

I certainly understand stealth inhaler taking. I work in education, and the last thing you want is a class of 7 year olds staring on as you’re trying to take your inhaler and catch a breath. Yes I might hold off longer than I should while at work, but the reality is that while I value my health, I also don’t want to be seen as the sick teacher who…

I had similar (but not as severe) experiences. I’m still trying to overcome that and become an engaged and aware patient because I know I frustrate my doctors. As a kid, I wasn’t well-educated about my asthma and my symptoms were very poorly controlled. Now, when I have a flare-up, I compare it to how I felt almost every day of my childhood and…
