Hey guys,

Just a quick tip from a uni student. Don't forget that while you're looking for good info about respiratory diseases, consider this: 'Is this site prepared by academic or medical staff?'

I to am a 7th grade student that suffers from asthma. I usually have asthma attacks in the winter, but just in case i bring a inhaler with me at ALL TIMES. i was diagnosed with astma in the third or fourth grade once my parents split up. learning more and more about asthma is fun and at the same time interesting. learning new things is exciting. especially if you can relate to it. currently at this time i havent had a asthma attack for several months, but who knows it just might sneak up on me. ;]



Posted by:  Allyssa95(Guest)  Posted on: 05/24/2009
I love reading about different respiratory problems because i have to suffer with asthma myself. I am in 7th grade and i am doing a project on the body systems and we were able to chose between eight different systems and i chose respiratory system. I never new how many diseases there are out there until i started researching and now im attached on learning more about it and i hope that other people relize how dangerous asthma can really be. Many people tease me about it when i end up using my inhaler. so i just wanted to get that out there. I hope to read more and more about this.


Posted by:  Young_DBZ(Guest)  Posted on: 05/29/2009
Hey! looks like we have something in common about that asthma thing.Do you have severe asthma and more frequent attacks or just occasional.
