    • About Me

      I am a Cough Variant Asthmatic, which is a rare form of asthma. It has some different effects like violent coughing, the pulse ox will show 100%, passing out during attacks, etc. I have had this since I was six. At one point, asthma ruled my life, but now I am independant and living life to its fullest. I love snowboarding and surfing along with bodyboarding. I am very active and my asthma will never take control of me again!

      From ak17 March 21

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging healing bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything and be healed in the name of Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Psalms 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Psalm 103:3-4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Matthew 8:14-17 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

      every day is a new day, focus on you're getting better, & push a little harder, it will get better. I know I am recouperating from a broken neck caused by auto accident. My shoulder is very painfull, cannot lift anything, my rotator cuff is broken. Cannot have surgery until my neck is healed. I keep trying & pushing a little more each day. It DOES GET BETTER. carsti

      Type: Cough Variant Asthma

      I have Cough Variant Asthma. It is a little different because I don't weaze at all, and I violently cough during attacks. I was diagnosed at age 6. It is very uncommon, and my parents have taken me all over the country to different doctors with not a huge improvement. I'm only 16 and at my wits end. I am looking for people with CVA to kind of let me know that what I am going through is normal...

      Treatments

      Advair Somewhat Helpful
      It is okay, but I have to keep adjusting the amounts which is bothersome. It is also easy to run out of when you take it twice a day. Overall, it is pretty good.
      Albuterol Somewhat Helpful
      Does not work immediately. Makes me very shaky and unstable.
      Singulair Somewhat Helpful
      Works to keep me symptom free during the night.
