Yes, I know that ...Ashley, thanks for dropping by!! Yes, I know that lonely feeling all too well. I'm so glad you found my blog :)<br /><br />I try to explain to people that allergies and asthma are a "drama queen" (similar to having a teenager......) <br /><br />Our bodies over- react to normal things that don't bother other people. And there's nothing we can do about it....that's just the nature of the disease. Of course we take allergy and asthma medicine and try to avoid triggers. <br /><br />But, sometimes it's hard. I have had to get up and walk out of movies, dance recitals, etc because my chest tightened up, I started coughing, and was struggling to breath because of someone's perfume. <br /><br />If others haven't ever experienced it, they will never understand. That's why I do this blog, to commiserate and share with others who KNOW what I am going through.<br /><br />Know that you are not alone!<br /><br />I hate asthma, I hate allergies, and I feel bad that all 3 of my kids inherited it from me. <br /><br />But....our family mantra is "Things Can Always Be Worse!"<br /><br />Hope you are well in Wyoming! <br /><br />My Life as an Asthma Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702075700890289018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856422208388515286.post-20207927385129169862014-05-11T22:59:59.094-07:002014-05-11T22:59:59.094-07:00I just stumbled upon this blog.

I am that constant kill joy as well and it feels horrible especially because people simply "don't get it." I know half the time people think I am just dramatic, especially now as an adult they think I "should have outgrown it." Thank you for this wonderful blog, so here in my quiet Wyoming home I don't have to feel quite so alone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544634405775699103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856422208388515286.post-64507468500696625402014-05-05T14:14:35.399-07:002014-05-05T14:14:35.399-07:00Zim, enjoy the mountains!
