-At the age of 30, I contracted severe Asthma and came close to dying from an asthma attack in 1995 when a near fatal asthma attack put me into full respiratory and cardiac arrest!!
-I was diagnosed with "adult onset asthma". For more than 15 years, my regimen included 3 different inhalers, steroid injections every 6 weeks and at the end I was taking 20 mg of prednisone twice a day just to breathe. I was using my rescue inhaler 10 times a day. Through the years I tried all the inhaled steroids, Uni-phil, Advair... the whole line up. My doctor had me on almost $600 worth of meds every month. Even so my asthma got worse every year.
-If you could rate Asthma from 1-10, I had it the worst and would categorize myself as a 10. My asthma didn’t start until I turned 30. After having at least a half dozen doctors tell me that I would have this condition the rest of my life, I resigned myself to trying to keep it under control. Numerous trips to the hospital emergency room where doctors tried to keep my airways from totally shutting down wore me out. I tried most of the things the doctors suggested but the condition never improved and the asthma was constantly out of control. During this period, I remember seeing a video documentary on public television about several people hiking the Appalachian Trail. I was a little sad thinking I would never be able to try anything like that again in my life.
-I was diagnosed with asthma around the age of 5 or 6. My early memories of asthma revolve around not being able to run as much as my friends, and worst of all not being able to horse-back ride without having an attack. There was also the constant threat of my pets being taken away because most of the doctors highly recommended that. At the time of my diagnosis, I was put on various oral medications that left me feeling either sleepy or jittery. Later on, an inhaler was added to my medical regime, but all of these medicines still left me extremely jittery. They did not seem to help much -- there were many times that we had to go to the emergency room for epinephrine injections during a severe attack. The worst period was when I was 11 to 13 years old. During one severe attack, I was actually afraid I might die.
Dr. Judd’s Comments:
Most of us take breathing for granted...in and out smoothly about 1500 times per day. But for someone suffering from asthma symptoms, life is totally different. I am shocked how many people have similar stories as the ones above. Asthma doesn’t just slow them down; it alters the course of their life! All of this suffering is unnecessary.
