I often feel a little self-conscious/embarrassed to let others know that I suffer from asthma and missed work because of it. Do people really understand that when you’re asthma gets out of control, it’s not your fault? That when you experience a severe attack, it is not only terrifying but sometimes uncontrollable and physically debilitating? I have a friend who thought that if I just ignore it, it would go away/not be as bad, like when you suffer through a cold. It seems as if some people either think it’s just a psychological problem or they think you can just take your inhaler and then get better and that’s all there is to it.

Are people that educated about asthma as they should be? Does anyone else feel a little self-conscious when you admit that you’re an asthmatic?

I actually hate drawing attention to myself…

Is there something worse than a depression? How would the government and the people respond?

We're remodeling a farmhouse and will move into it when it's done. There is an existing wood furnace, but it's not hooked up. A fuel oil furnace is hooked up.

We'd save $$ by using the wood furnace with free wood from our property, but our children have asthma and allergies. Can burning wood bother their symptoms?
