- Maureen, while you’re with us, may I ask you a question–how has asthma affected you during your life where you need such a lot of medication?
- Maureen:
- I’ve had some pretty significant asthma. I mean, I’ve only been on these more preventative drugs, the Serevent and the Beclovent for probably the last, I’m going say like the last year maybe. And I was much more heavily dependent on the Albuterol before that, and then I started having some significant problems where the Albuterol just wasn’t working which is a really scary thing, you know, when you take a blast and it doesn’t do anything. So I got on these more preventative types of drugs. But to be honest with you, once I’m on meds, I do whatever the heck I want to do. It has no impact. I mean, I have to be aware of avoiding cats, which is my biggest allergen, but beyond that, I do what I want to, when I want to, where I want to. I just need to stay on the meds. So the drugs have really helped a lot.
