Advantages: none

Disadvantages: can't reach anything

I am a midget! I am only 4 foot 6. Everything about me is smaller than a tall person.

My lungs are small and I have asthma. Asthma can be caused my many things, such as food allergies, tobacco, cold air, animal dander and even exercise.

The doctors say that I have bronchical asthma. So does my dad and my brother.

Asthma is a respiratory problem. I take primatene pills, twice daily and it helps me breath.

I get a daily work out by just doing the ordinary things around my house.

This means I cannot see the top of the cabinets and stove. When I cook I can't see inside the pot.

I stand above the sink very well to wash dishes.

I have to use a tall step ladder to see anything on the top shelves on my closet or kitchen. I cannot see the inside my freezer. I use a big spoon too get the food.

I have a my rod in my back, so I can't look up.

If you want see what it like at my height , get on knees and you'll see, if I want see your height all I have to do is get on a step ladder.

To keep my asthma under control, I must eat heathy foods and get a good sleep each night.

A doctor once told me to take primatene tablets. I do and it works. Some days I don't have to take it, (in the winter), but in the spring, summer and I take it twice a day.

I don't know if they sells primatene in England. If they do and you have asthma I hope you will try them.

In the United States it's over the counter medicne.

Thank you for reading my review.
