How long have u had asthma?

Im a long time asthma suffere. Check out www.medscape.com/viewarticle/446396_7 for info about asthma remission. What is says, in a nutshell, is that symptoms may cease, even for a period of years. However, it never really goes away. You are always "at risk".

I was diagnosed with asthma at about the same time that we got our first cat when I was about four or five, I think, maybe younger. We used to have a dog, but never really had any problem with her. But, when we got the cat, I started getting too sick. I still have it, too, today. Allergy shots didn't help at all, either. But, today my asthma is pretty much in control and one wouldn't know that I ever had it unless they checked my lung capacity. I exercise all the time, too.

me 15yrs. with asthma and still to this day but it's not that bad any more i didn't get weezing since i started smoking and since then im doing fine.but tell you one thing. asthma sucks big time! when your small it's when the real asthma attacks happend.

Hi gloamglozer! I don't have asthma but my husband does. He has it when he was a kid but now that he is older, he never had any asthma attacks anymore. The last asthma attack he had was ten years ago. I am hoping he won't have any attacks anymore because it really pains me to see him suffering. And I hope you would recover from it soon. Just my thoughts dear friend! Take care and have a nice day!

I was diagnosed with asthma when I was ten. They said it was childhood asthma, that sometimes goes away. Well, we all know now that asthma does not go away. When I was 13 my doc said it wasn't asthma, instead I had chronic bronchitis. Now that I"m an adult, when I was about 22 or 23, my doc said I have both. I don't have a serious case of either, they only flare up with my allergies or extreme conditions. I guess I'm pretty lucky. My daughter has had breathing issues since she was 6 months old. She's been hospitalized several times. The second time she was hospitalized at 16 months, they said it was asthma. Now that she is 9, we finally have a doctor willing to treat her with a proactive approach instead of a reactive approach. She's on medication for her allergies, has a prescription for her inhaler and plenty of nebulizer medicine. Hopefully we can get it under control and not have to ever be hospitalized again.

i first started having symptoms last April and was finally diagnosed in Last August. I am 27 years old and never knew Asthma was something you could develop. i always thought you either had it as a kid or you didn't have it. I guess I know better now!

I have had asthma ever since I was 12 years old. And it gets worse every year.

I've had asthma since age 10 or 11 and it got worse through high school. I was able to manage it better in my twenties with medication and exercise. I have been needing medicine less and less, but it still makes for complications when I get, say, the flu.

Hi there. I think I had my Asthma about the age of 2. Catch ya later.
