Real Life Example Name: Anita Age: 37 years "I had been ill for over a year with repeated chest infections. My doctor prescribed different antibiotics and none seemed to make much difference. I was totally worn out. I was so relieved when the doctor diagnosed asthma. He explained that bad asthma can sometimes seem like a chest infection as the symptoms can be very similar. I had seen a program about asthma once and knew you could treat it very successfully. I set about getting all the information I needed on asthma and the treatments. I now take a daily preventer and my asthma is very well controlled. I feel so well and can get on with my life!" Comments The world around us can have a huge influence on how we think and feel about asthma. Fortunately for Anita she had seen a television program on asthma with a positive approach! Her attitude was also positive to the diagnosis. She set about to make sure she had all she needed to deal with the problem. The time and effort she put in paid off: her health improved dramatically so that she could get on with her life, unrestricted by her asthma.
