I'm severely asthmatic. When I get sick (be it a cold or any type of infection) it makes my asthma act up a lot and pretty much limits me for at least a week. For instance, I was having non-stop attacks for 4-5 days, went to the doctor and found out I had an ear infection and a cold that was making my asthma act up. Was put on antibiotics and it took a little over a week til I felt better. I had to cancel plans with a friend b/c I got sick.
If you're severely asthmatic, does this ever happen to you when you get sick? Do your friends ever get mad at you when u have to cancel? Do they ever understand that when u get sick, u also get other complications b/c of asthma?
