I was "diagnosed" with asthma, and alergies to peanuts and down, but have yet to see ANY proof!

Allergy related...basically perfume, cleaners, mildew, new carpet..etc....basically 65% of the chemicals that make up modern living either make me sneeze, itch, or cough until I can't breathe.

Allergic. Bloody nuisance ! ! I'm allergic to formaldehyde, which is in new carpeting, new clothing, paint, and other wonderful things.

I used to have it, but now I'm more than fine if I take a minute or two to get my breathing regulated and under control. I still have a bit of a trace of exercised-induced asthma, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. Many people who have asthma as kids outgrow it.

I have allergy, asthma and environmental induced asthma. I'm told enviro means things like smoke, cold air and formaldehyde causes it. I don't have hardly any attacks anymore since I started taking L-Glutathione which strengthens the lungs.

I think mine's probably moderate. I used to use an inhaler, but since mine is allergy-induced (all that sinus crap going down my throat), my bigger problems tend to stem from my throat getting enflamed and swelling, and inhalers don't do squat for that. Ice cold water seems to work better than anything. That's the medicine I take, which is a hell of lot healthier than constantly sucking down steroids.

But that's just mine in particular. For other people, the cold water method would definitely not work.

I had asthma as a child but grew out of it. Of course there's always the chance it was psychologically-based in response to forced P.E. classes that stressed me out.
