Heat Waves and Asthma

Thanks Sherry
The weather has effected my asthma to the point that I'm on steroids again
I only have an A/C In my bedroom my down stairs is so hot and humid and I'm struggling with constant wheezing and shortness of breath

I found that the fall equinox really bothered me this year. My doctor said that a lot of people have issues around the seasonal weather changes.

Weather changes can be hard for people who have allergies and asthma. Any type of weather change, including the changing seasons, such as you mentioned, Jeanne.

I sure hope you're feeling better!

I am feeling better overall.

This week I am traveling to Lagos, Nigeria which is very dusty. Electricity and consequently, A/C is intermittent at best. Should be interesting to see how well I do there for the next few weeks.
