| Yesterday, I had a diagnostic of Asthma. Sounds weird, but I am soooo happy!
Because finally, I know what I have!
Thanks to the wonderful Swiss Health System. I've been going from one doctor to an other in differents countries and here I got someone who did care!
I have a question for the Asthma people on this forum. Do you have a Medical ID bracelet? Yes, why? And no, why? I don't know if I should have one for this and also for the cephalosporin allergy I have. According to my pharmacist, they don't use it here!
Any advise, opinion, comments will be welcome!

One comment I cannot make is the standard "Go See A Doctor. NOW" one-liners

| doesnt sound like asthma to me. ive had it my whole life and not experienced that kind of situation Nil.
Having Asthma is just like being short sighted - you just have your pump with you like you would keep your glasses with you and everything is fine.
Unless you have it acutely then it won't impact your life very much. | |

I agree. Asthma is extremely common in India, just like being mildly overweight. The term covers a wide range of symptoms such as wheezing, pollen allergy etc. I have had many friends right from primary school who have Asthma and were excellent at sports, many elite sportspersons and film stars are asthmatic, and as far as I know it is only slightly more intrusive to quality of life than wearing corrective glasses.
So, Nil, you are right in feeling happy to at last know what was niggling you for so long
