Close Asthma
Type: OtherHi, I've had severe persistent brittle type 2 asthma since birth( a whopping 53 years and still kicking)! Im steroid dependent and have been intubated multiple times . Because Ive had this disease for so long, my lungs have remodeled and now resemble those with moderately severe emphysema. My current FEV 1 is about 30-35% , but I look very healthy and can function near normal. I attribute my longevity to a daily program of fitness/endurance walking and strength training. Thanks!
