Thanks Karen! I went to the docter, got the test done. I was 33 percent and if you are over 15 percent then you've got asthma. He gave me a perscription for Abuteral. (sp?) He didn't mention pets... which I was happy about. But my mom has go to quit smoking... I'm VERY happy about that!!!

I'm glad you're okay!
I used to have asthma... when I was really young. I don't remember it though!

But my mom has go to quit smoking... I'm VERY happy about that!!!

Wow, I wish the doctor would tell MY parents that...

Good thing it's not really bad. Yours sounds very mild. I had/still have (I'm not sure if I still have it) asthma caused by allergies.

One of my friends had EXTREEMLY bad asthma. And sadly died from a bad attack at the age of 8.

I like your doctor already! "Mom, you HAVE to quit smoking - my doctor SAID so!" Yup, it's spelled albuterol - the safety inhaler of every member of my family! Ain't drugs wonderful?

about 5yrs ago Rob started having issues breathing at my moms house. I told him I think he needs to go to the Dr. he refused. SO I told my mom on him
She made him get into the car & we drove to the next town as our town Hospital SUCKS! & he saw the Dr. in less then 15 mins He was told he has Asthma & its cause by his parents chain smoking & from his mother smoking with him in her whom.

Rob & myself moved 500km away from his parents last Sept. Rob has hardly ever used his puffer & I haven't had a cold all year round since YAY! BUT we went down for xmas & Rob was back on the puffer & my cold came back

We're fine again & we even feel more energetic. Rob's brother moved in with us in Oct/Nov-ish & the poor guy is still sick Hes MUCH better, but his breathing is still poor & he coughs all the time.

My daughter had asthma - inhalers certainly did the trick (and yes, I gave up smoking)

The docter didn't exactly tell her she had to... but she's a RN so she knows if she doesn't, I will have more attacks. My asthma is most likely caused from allergies because I am allergic to grass, hay, rabbits, dogs, cats, pollen, dust, etc, etc. lol

That's so sad about your friend, I'm sorry.
