My Story...Breda Flood
My name is Breda Flood and I was diagnosed with asthma in 1983. Since then keeping on top of my symptoms and keeping well has been a constant struggle - but I'm happy to say that, with the help of the Asthma Society of Ireland, I am in control of my asthma.
My Story...Michael McDonagh
I was diagnosed with asthma when I was in my teens. asthma is a condition which has been in my family for generations. I cannot say that I lived the perfect lifestyle or always looked after myself. I lived the typical lifestyle of a young person at that stage. I also wasn’t the ideal patient who used his reliever/preventer as instructed.
