My son had to rush his former wife to the emergency room more than once. She had asthma and was never without her inhaler. Remember Old School? His former wife too had it and he spent time rushing her to the emergency room. I experienced what seemed to be asthma some years ago. It lasted about 3 months. I had to sleep in a lounge chair. I went to the doctor and he prescribed an inhaler which I bought. I never did figure out to use it fast enough. I am not a person who can do anything that requires coordination or timing. But then it disappeared as quickly and unexpectedly as it had appeared. What the heck it was I don't know. It can't have been regular asthma because I don't think once you have it that it ever just "goes away". I was always terrified when it hit. I would not want to wish that on anyone. Having someone with asthma on a battlefield fighting a war? He/she might just as well step on landmine. I'm so sorry your daughter has to live with that. At what age did it show up and do you have any idea what the trigger was? I've read a bazillion things can trigger it! Changes in the weather. Stress. Whatever. Think there will ever be a CURE? Thank you for your reply R. Has Maureen ever had it? Does it run in your family? Thank you for your reply and well heartfelt condolences to your daughter. I'm gonna ask a question about it.

To quote James Comey..."lordy lordy". Wow. That's a heavy load m'dear. Many condolences to you and Maureen and the entire family. Now would it be possible to remove that specific "defective" bit of dna so future descendants would never again have to worry about it R? Or is it just something you have to live with? What makes some diseases have a genetic predisposition? I shall ask. I don't think our family was genetically predisposed for anything although both my dad's sister and mother died of breast cancer and I got uterine cancer in 2008. But no one else to my knowledge. Thank you for your reply R! :)
No one it saying asthma is not a bad condition to deal with having. They are simply saying it is stramge that an experienced politican has never mentioned it in his speeches or his autobiography. Politicans use and look for any possible way to connect and claim "I am just likw you...I have the same problems you have...." So being a young teen athlete and struggling with asthma is juat the type of thing they always include in their stories.
This man used kids playing with his leg hair in the pool to try to relate to people...don't tell me he would ignore asthma.
