What Caused Me To Become Ill

I know some of you would like to know what caused me to become very sick. I can tell you that it was something simple, ASTHMA. Yes, I ended up in the hospital for a week because of asthma exacerbation, later we found out I also had PNEUMONIA. Now I've been sick before but not to that extent and I took my asthma very lightly by not getting regular check-ups.
I was told if I'd been sick with H1N1 I could have possibly died. Those aren't words you want to hear. For those who have asthma we all know that when we catch a cold we have trouble breathing but I didn't really understand that if I got a serious viral infection the effects it would have.

I'm posting this because Asthma Relief is important. Some think that its a joke but it can be life threatening just like anything else. I just want my readers to know that taking care of yourself is important because we all have family and friends that love us and want the best for us. If you have or know someone with asthma check out this link on asthma relief.
