Blog Post CommentThe public does have the ability to comment on the proposed changes (I did!), but only for a short time. Here is the info on how to share your voice (pasted from https://www.epa.gov/stationary...proposal-how-comment ) EPA will accept comment on the proposed Affordable Clean Energy rule for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. Comments should be identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0355 and may be submitted by one of the following methods. Online: Go to...

Blog Post Comment❤️Good reminders of some of the common early warning signs before an asthma episode. Some, like these specifically, Hoarse voice or dry mouth Difficulty speaking/talking in full sentences Raised shoulders/slouching are ones I need to pay more attention to since I know for a fact that they are early warning signs for me. Good article and reminder! Thanks AAFA!!

Blog Post Comment❤️That's a very good question Cynthia! So far I have only realized it after the fact. Will have to pay more attention and figure that out.

Blog Post CommentIts ridiculous that MD do have no protection for our childern. My daugther has asthma bad especially in September this year it was the 1st day. Plus yes our school systems is so not right. They failed my baby 2 two but over turned the last one. Then last year ask if she wants to go in her correct grade in October no this should of been offered before school started. Crazy no implenations or help.

Blog Post CommentGoodness...l have been so sooo remiss. I have so sooo many of these signs BEFORE my chest realllly starts to tighten up...and l wait and wait and wait before taking my reliever inhaler! Every....single ....time. I wasn't aware that l was supposed to take my medicine during the warning signs. I keep waiting and hoping they'll go away . No wonder things are getting out of control 😣

Blog Post CommentWelcome, @Shoshana . We're glad you're here and this blog post makes sense of your Asthma Action Plan .

Blog Post CommentI have gone to the ER with these symptoms and they put the PulseOx on me and I'm still in the 90s and they say I'm OK. This confuses and concerns me as I'm clearly exhibiting the signs explained above. Thankfully I have my asthma specialist's cell # and I'm able to have him explain to the ER doc that I need prednisone and breathing treatments. I too, usually wait a long time before seeking help, because it's frustrating when I do. Does anyone else experience this? Great article, thank you 😊

Blog Post CommentLove this! I'm one of those with EIB ... hard to exercise, but my asthma and health just aren't the same if I DON'T manage to exercise!

Database Record Comment@ScttLee - That's a great point. Strong odors and fragrances trigger my asthma . These scents can make it difficult for me to breathe, especially in public places. This happened to me a few weeks ago. There was a group wearing strong colognes. I agree with you about asking to be moved, politely. Sometimes I feel bad asking, but it's important to consider my health. Here are some more tips for traveling with asthma and allergies .

Database Record CommentBecause the air is so dry, when I fly over a couple of hours, I always have a small bottle of nasal saline spray and use it 2-3 times an hour. If I don't, I get bad sinus infections that then causes me breathing issues for several days. If a person has strong perfume or other scent that bothers you, don't hesitate to ask to be moved. But do it politely and be respectful of that person feeling.

Database Record CommentIf you are allergic to animals, I find I can usually negotiate a seat faaaarrrrr away from the pet and wear a Ffp3 mask for short flights (up to 2 hours). The aircrew needs to be aware of this and not permit the owners to take their pet out of its carry case during the flight to avoid hair/dander/saliva etc.floating around the cabin. For longer/trans-atlantic flights, I have checked with the airline ahead of time, from the day of reservation to the day before the trip, to find out if a pet...
