Air pollution and asthma

I’ve been reading about the air pollution in the nation’s smoggiest town, Arvin, California, this morning. How awful! It’s bad enough that we may be genetically predisposed to asthma, but to have healthy parents and polluted air…it’s just awful! We visit my mother-in-law in the San Fernando Valley every summer, and the sight [...]

“Mom, I can’t breathe”

My mother still remembers with teary eyes one of my “Mom, I can’t breathe” moments. It didn’t happen during athletics, or because of sports, but when I was in seventh grade, fighting a bout of mononucleosis. The mono had weakened my system enough that pneumonia had also set in, but we didn’t know that yet. [...]

Why I’ve been out of touch

I’ve been out of touch lately and sincerely apologize for my absence. We’ve had a rough time recently with the loss of both of my paternal grandparents in the last two months. They were like parents to me, especially since my dad passed away in ‘95. I’d seen them or spoken to them almost every single [...]

If you live with asthma, check your house for mold!

Normally, I would be writing this installment from my office, later in the evening. However, I’m at home, and it’s morning. The reason: I got home late last night after my five-hour drive from OKC, went to bed, woke up at 5 a.m. and found a puddle of water in my bedroom. It began in [...]

It’s spring; let the allergies and asthma begin!

Once again, life has taken over my brain and forgot to let me in on it! Did anyone else just realize that it’s April? I mean, I guess I should have noticed since my children and I have been constantly sneezing and wheezing. Ah, spring…I love spring; just not everything it brings with it. I [...]

The asthma twitch

Sometimes, trying to be “on the ball” doesn’t always pay off like we’d like. Last week, in observance of Good Friday, school was closed; so I made a doctor’s appointment (50 miles away) for the early morning. Emma has been coughing and snotty-nosed, so we decided that although we hadn’t needed to make [...]

Hydration and asthma

Hydration, hydration, hydration!!! It’s amazing to me how little we as singers, and especially as asthmatics, think about hydration. We seem to forget that our bodies are made up of (oh, what’s the percentage?) LOTS of water. I have a student, who is an asthmatic, and was suffering from the flu last week. In a lesson [...]

Can you tell when an asthma attack is about to strike?

Does anyone out there notice a difference in your mood when an asthma attack is impending? My mother always used to be able to tell when I was going to be sick or out of commission for a while, just by my temperament. It usually followed a slumber party (when I had to sleep on [...]

You can’t blame everything on your allergies

I’m ready to start up again. Thank you for your patience! We’ve had a rough couple of weeks, especially this last week with the death of my paternal grandmother. Unfortunately, my first back-in-circulation topic isn’t directly related to asthma but is definitely on my mind. I just returned from a craniofacial pain and treatment specialist in the [...]
