Dear Nil,
i am so glad you have had a diagnosis. i wennt months thinking i had a chest infection until someone suggested asthma ....which my doctor confirmed once i brought the subject up.

the bracelet thing is persional choice; i carry an inhalor and guess that anyone going through my pockets will find it as quick as a bracelet if not quicker.

on a lighter note , i still run (endurance) and sing ( job ) and speak ( job) without any trouble , so dont be worried too much about limitations , i even dive now and again.
good luck my friend.
