Blog Post CommentI am very, very frustrated and distraught with GlaxoSmithKline right now. If this is a problem, no matter how remote or minute, shouldn't the customer be able to return the product for a new product immediately? If not, why even bring it to our attention? I have contacted my pharmacy, my husband's pharmacy, my doctor and my husband's doctor and they know very little if anything about this recall. This is not something to guess about. IT IS MY LIFE..AND OTHERS... GSK needs to do a better...

Blog Post Comment❤️Thank you so much for advocating for asthma/allergy sufferers regarding animals on planes. People with pets do not seem to realize that it is a matter of life or death for an allergy sufferer, like me, to be exposed to pet dander. Please let me know how I may help with this effort. Also, I had to cancel my plans to two family weddings this past year, sadly, because the hotels offering accommodations for the wedding guests, as well as other hotels in the same towns, had "pet friendly"...

Blog Post Comment❤️Oh my gosh YES !!! Travelling with Asthma... Animals checked onto planes have "bumped" me off intercontinental flights a number of times (even if I had reserved my ticket weeks or months before the animal owner!), as I don't want to have an acute asthma attack half-way across the Atlantic. I could easily die. To add insult to injury, no compensation has ever been forthcoming from the airline for a hotel when the next flight was the next day..... If airlines require animal owners to submit...

Blog Post Comment❤️Unfortunately, the American Civil Liberties Union will not intervene in this matter with public transportation. The number you provided is a great course of action as is local state action.

File CommentI am a life-long asthma sufferer. I have nearly lost my life more times that I can recall from this condition. And yet, I have found ways to maintain my illness through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, which in turns allows me to exercise more, which in turn, improves my condition. I still have seasonal and infection (sinus) triggers that have a big impact and I get very ill occasionally. But when I am healthy, I take full advantage. On this day, June 26th, 2012, I completed an Ironman...

File CommentThank you! Here is a video of the finish. It's a few minutes long but it's pretty exciting. I missed the cutoff by 23 seconds, but it didn't matter. Watch all the way to the end and see what happens! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndY9xptZI9w

Blog Post Comment❤️Hi Jeana, cold weather has a lot to do with Javans Asthma. Matter of fact, the change of weather period. When it rains and then gets cold, or when it’s hot and then rain, or when it gets cold alone. Javan body also heats up fast so if we cover him up in layers, we teach him to take it off in school if he gets hot and to not wait too late until he sweats because then the wind may hit him and he will get sick. Have your husband go with you to the doctor and ask the doctor questions while he’s ...

Blog Post CommentNo it's not well controlled and adjusting my asthma treatment plan will not do a **** thing to improve it, my lung function is only at 25% I'm also on Flovent and Spiriva and singulair all for my asthma and it's still not controlled I use my ventolin many times during the day, and go through 1 rescue inhaler every 15 days, and no matter what my asthma doctor puts me on it has not improved, my asthma was under control when they made the Maxair autoinhaler but since they stopped making it I...

Blog Post CommentWelcome, @Tawny ! Someone else's smoke no matter how remote is our problem to deal with. You're in good company with the AAFA community. Could you post this question as a new topic in either the Asthma Support or Allergy Support forums? Then we can have an extended discussion back and forth. We'll tag some of the people who contributed to Dealing with smoke allergies and asthma when neighbours smoke and find some practical ideas for you. Again, welcome! We're glad you found us.

Blog Post Comment💯@LoriC @Lois Hi! I have moderate to severe asthma controlled on medication and also work at a high volume business where I am working almost constantly. I have found two types of masks work for me (cotton cloth and nylon with an additional cotton cloth layer). Being high risk and considered essential I would prefer you and others wear a mask because it puts me, other people who are high risk, or their families are high risk at ease. Considering you are high risk I would not want you to come...

Blog Post CommentWow, That is not nice. That is something serious and should not be seen in a joking matter. I agree a ad talking about the seriousness of that seen should have been included after the movie.
