Asthma Blog
Hi I’m Belinda
I’m your community manager at The Patients Voice. You can reach me at belinda.shale@healthcarelandscape.com.
The rate of diagnosis of asthma has grown massively in the last few years. Indeed it has been suggested that among American children diagnosis has increased 75% in the last decade. In the UK there are over five million people with asthma both children and adults.
The Patients Voice is running a special patient experience blog about asthma.
- At what age were you first diagnosed with asthma? What were your initial symptoms?
- Have you ever been hospitalized because of asthma? Can you describe the experience?
- What is your current treatment regime? How successful has it been in keeping you episode free?
- Have you ever been given an explanation as to the reason you suffer from asthma? If yes how satisfied are you with the explanation?
- If you had to give any advice to somebody who has just been diagnosed with asthma what would it be?
Thanks very much in advance for your help.
