Goals of an Asthma Treatment Programme
Asthma should not
make you alter your normal behaviour. With the right medication you can
take control of your asthma and prevent it from restricting what you do.
- Be free from symptoms
day and night
- Restore normal
or best possible peak flow and maintain it
- Reduce the risk
of sever attacks
- Minimise absence
from school or work.
Knowledge is Power
This is true of almost all medical conditions or illnesses...the more you know,
the better you seem to feel. Information is power! It's certainly true
of asthma. By learning everything you can, you're giving yourself an important
advantage in the ongoing asthma challenge. Let's start with the basics.
