to all the parents that have children with asthma my heart goes out to you ,its not a nice thing to have ,i my self have had it all my life and have had to learn to live with it,i put it down to my parents they smoked rather badly and i think it did not help ,i am 58 years old so when i was a child there was not the medication that there is now in fact i had to do with out
because no one realized that i had it,it did not stop me playing football or any other sport i was out of puff often though but the important fact was i still did it it did not put me of, and it was only when i was 30 years of age that it was diagnosed properly and i went on to proper medication there where times when i was young when i felt that i was going to die but again i did not give up the will of a young child is very strong so i say to all parents of asthma kids watch them close but don't wrap them up in Cotton wool, and thinking of it it also runs in family's my oldest child has it but she is not a child she has had it since she was 25 years of age and it was quite a shock for her.
