Hi, CasyJ73. Welcome aboard! I was recently diagnoses asthmatic in August so it is a learning experience for me. I'm sure you can help ME more than I can help YOU. Stay in touch...I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Ever cold, Snowball

Oh, Casey! My sister has been asthmatic since she was about 6 months old, but I only developed it about 14 years ago. I am sorry you've had to deal with it for so long. I'm sure you have much you can share with this group. I've not been here for very long with the asthma group, but I've been on MDJ for a while, and it's the greatest place! Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll love it here!!

*hugs* Be well, and happy holiday season!

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Hey Snowball! I imagine it's my number of posts. I like to talk A LOT--if you couldn't tell! LOL... But I'm also on a number of forums here, if you check out my profile. Wink Most forums, it has to do with your number of posts. But also, if you are a group leader on one forum, you may be a senior member on another? IDK exactly how it works here on MDJ, but that's my guess. I think it happened somewhere in the 400-range for me. I've only been here a few months, so it's not how long! LOL *hugs* Laughing

Just because your a group leader it doesn't make you a senior member.

I'm the group leader to forums.

It depends on the amount of post you have.
