Since asthma is considered by the medical society in general to be a chronic ailment, there is no cure available for it. But just because you are not able to rid yourself of the condition doesn't mean you can't get rid of your attacks. This will simply mean that the condition is still there but it is at the level of near total control that attacks will almost be nonexistent; but just in case, keep a controller medication nearby always, you may never know when you might need it.

This will simply mean that the condition is still there but it is at the level of near total control that attacks will almost be nonexistent; but just in case, keep a controller medication nearby always, you may never know when you might need it. Getting rid of your attacks may require a more active role on your part than you might like to think. Your doctor is only responsible for your controller medication and treatments after all. Your actions will be the one that determines the affectivity of everything that is given you. Simple steps like avoiding smoky areas, cleaning the house, wearing a scarf during cold days can help you avoid attacks while you are in the process of strengthening your immune system through medication and exercise. The sooner you act; the sooner you will feel the effects. Carrying a note book with you is a good idea. You can list down all instances of your asthma attacks along with details that may have triggered it. How long was the attack? Under what conditions did you get the attack? What time did it happen? What did you eat that day? Were you outdoors? Try to make it as detailed as you can. You can show the notebook to your doctor the next time you go in for a checkup. This helps your doctor figure out how to possibly improve your asthma management plan. No single treatment or advice can work for asthma since there are many different factors that need to be considered for each asthmatic. But so far the only difference of those who have successfully managed their condition and those who have not is the level of cooperation and participation of each asthmatic when it comes to their treatment and the individual actions they have made to make the situation better. Asthma can be seen in two ways. It ca be a nuisance not worthy of attention, or a threat that needs to be taken seriously. Think about these things. Know where you stand when it comes to understanding your own condition. This is the first step you need to take before you can attain the relief that you have looked for in a long time. The more effort you put out, the less time it will take. About the Author: Johnson Star was a former asthmatic for 20 years.
