My Dad's ...  Read the complete review

I was diagnosed with asthma as a toddler, but being truthful I cannot remember it having any adverse affects on my life.

For those afflicted, particularly children, it is a painful, ...  Read the complete review

When I was at secondary school and the sadistic games teacher (who looked like a man, incidentally) would make the class sprint round the field (while she sat and read a magazine)I would come back wheezing and gasping for breath.

I have had asthma all my life, but didn’t actually know about it until I was aged 9 and I was dragged to Devon. My asthma suddenly took control and demanded that I knew it was there.
