"I enjoy the fourth of July holiday quite a bit with the hot dogs, baseball and other fun things. One thing about the fourth of July is that it really challenges my asthma. Smoke is maybe my biggest trigger and the firework smoke that lingers in the air for a day or two really does bother me. I have been very diligent about taking my controller medications in the hope that if something triggers me that I can have maybe a mild reaction and not something that really sets off a strong asthma flare. "
It’s nice that you still find ways to enjoy the holiday, even knowing it can be a trigger. Firework smoke can be really tough, especially when it hangs in the air. It sounds like you’re being really proactive with your medications, which is great, hopefully that helps keep things on the milder side so you can still take part in the fun. Happy 4th of July! -Kimberli (Team Member)
