I lived for 5 years in Michigan and my astma went out of control
in the winter times. Whenever I got a cold, even 2 weeks of medical leave were not enough and I had asthmatic bronchitists all winters despite a very heavy use of steriod inhailer (aerobid). However I had no problems in the summer there. I moved to Californiya 8 years ago and my astma is under full control with a small flovent dose. Now I am offered a very good job in Maryland. Would I have a chance to adjust there? May be someone had this experience? Thank you.

Does anyone know the Name/type of test that a Doc did to me a few yrs ago to test my breathing out capacity. I saw Birthday Candles on Cake on computer-screen & i had to blow out those candles. I can't remember but there was probably SOMETHING else used in that test - that may have been hooked up to the computer----perhaps something i had to blow--out - in.

Due to being in college, I need a flexible schedule to be able to work somewhere. A family friend offered me a job working for her cleaning company, but I found out on my first day that I would be around ALOT of cigarette smoke. I have severe asthma that is very easily triggered by cigarette smoke. How do I quit that job after only one day and still retain the friendship?
