talkhealth forums

Hi there. I'm new to talkasthma and my daughter has recently started getting asthma. It scares me when I see her having an attack. Does anyone else feel like this. Does it get easier? Would love to hear your thoughts....

I'd like to say a warm welcome to all those people who are new to our forums. I hope that some of you will be able to find answers to your questions, gain valuable support from other members and generally use our community support to get you through those bad days.

Warm regards

I must agree with you! My daughter has Sickle Cell Disease and we live in the hospital! Three days ago she was diagnosed with Asthma as well. To say the lest, two weeks ago, she had to have braces put on. The symptons are similar, i must be able to distinguish the differences between the two. Enough already!

Hello lewissherhonda - sounds like you and your daughter are really going through it - I hope, with regard to the asthma, and generally you'll find people here to talk to and support you. What help have you had for your daughter since she was diagnosed with asthma?

Hi - I'm new here (although I've been a member of talkallergy for a few months) - my son's just been diagnosed with asthma - it's all a bit new to me so any help anyone can give me would really be appreciated. Thank you.

I know it is very hard to watch when the attack comes. Keep a inhaler always near to her, and avoid the places or things which is dusty or allergic to her. Be calm, everything will be fine.

Thank you, i get more confident all the time but as you say it is about being organised with inhalers and aware of where potential triggers may be.
