Welcome everyone to the Asthma's Angels group!! The first asthma group available on DS! I hope that this group grows into a very welcoming and inviting place for all those with asthma to find comfort and advice~

I cough violently when I feel the constriction.
Scares me so bad. I also suffer Anxiety Disorder and VERY SEVERE allergies, so those make it worse too.
Thank you for this Group and the Invitation
Hugs

This is great! I feel like DS is one giant group of support. I know, sometimes it is nice to have a "home" within a "home". Thanks for starting this!

I will be out of town for a couple weeks but I just wanted to say Hi and thanks for starting the group

Thanks for the invitation. I'm also a violent coughing asthmatic along with sleep apnea in which the machine triggers sinus infections which
triggers the asthma. Wow! lots of fun huh!

I am happy to see this group as well. I am a member and speaker for the lung association as my 9year old was born with Asthma, trachiamalacia, GI reflux, and on..., now she is scared with lung disease due to 30 hospitalizations on IV's in her first 2 1/2 years. She was 4 lbs born and put into the NICU and was taken by ambulance a few times to the PICU(pediatric ICU). She now has bronchomalacia and an enlarged pulmonary artery. Bronchomalacia is when in her case on of her smaller airways is closing everytime she breathes, and we keep an eye on her artery to make sure it doesn't put to much pressure on her lungs. She coughed and wheezed for years straight until we could get her on the right meds. Hopefully the broncho will go away as they would have to make some surgery decisions if it doesn't, but I will and always have taken one step at a time. I am also in the medical field so it helps, because I understand what to do better. If anyone needs support I am here. I am actually bipolar and in those support groups, but I came across this one and had to stop

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
