The term "reactive airway disease"
Hey medical professionals of asthma.net what is your view of the term "reactive airway disease" technically speaking that's what I was diagnosed with, but my primary care physician categorized it as mild intermittent asthma. I know the term is somewhat controversial like the term "Asperger's" for neurodivergent autistic folks (which is another thing that I am, only I don't use the term "Asperger's"😉
Hi Wild Tech, and thanks for this question. Many of us who work with patients have experience with 'reactive airway disease'.
To start, I am sure you will gain some insight from these two articles (by our own John Bottrell), on this very topic:
First, this one, on asthma subgroups: https://asthma.net/living/reactive-airways-dysfunction-syndrome.
And next, this one, on reactive airway disease: https://asthma.net/living/reactive-airway-disease.
I do hope this provides you with the information you are looking for.
All the best,
Leon (site moderator asthma.net)
We like him, too. He certainly does some heavy lifting on here!
