Being a child and suffering from asthma can be very traumatic. When I was five years old, I developed an allergy to dust and pollen. My allergy, wasn’t causing asthma, but it was causing allergic rhinitis, brilliantly combined with allergic bronchitis, which is also called chronic bronchitis. “Chronic bronchitis in childhood may have considerable overlap with asthma with respect to etiology, psychopathology, and treatment”. So, I know what it is like, when you experience wheezing, and shortness of breath very well. What for me was traumatic, wasn’t the disease on its own.
