Can you 'outgrow' asthma?
Answer I am 37 years old. When I was about 17 I didn't have any trouble with my ashma anymore. I thought I had outgrown it.
When I had my first child, my ashma let it be known it was still there. So basically, I was told by my doctor that you can not outgrow it, just may not be so bad at times in your life. Hope that helps Answer Actually it is proven you can outgrow it.
I'm 31 and currently serving in the USMC. I was born with asthma and since I turned about 14 my asthma decreased a lot, and for about 11 years now I haven't had a single trace of it. I went to re-enlist and had to retake my medical evaluation and got in.As you know the rules on asthma were tighter then than nowadays.
And you would think even if you get into the service with asthma you won't be able to go out in the Field. Well I've been through 2 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and combat experience.So don't ever give up and even in most cases that you get it for life, its always treatable.
At 14, Alyssa Flanagan’s asthma symptoms all but disappeared. Since the age of 4, she had been hospitalized a few times each year -- once in the intensive care unit - when her colds turned into coughing, wheezy pneumonias. Asthma loomed large in her life.
“The simplest explanation is that I’ve outgrown it, or for some reason, there was an immune trigger that’s not present anymore,” says Flanagan, now a 30-year-old medical resident at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Flanagan says she’s aware her asthma could flare again. Even if symptoms go underground, they can resurface in adulthood.
Why Flanagan is, so far, among the lucky ones is something of a medical mystery. Without a long-term epidemiological study of young asthmatics in the U.S., it’s impossible to determine who might go into remission, says Gary Rachelefsky, a professor of allergy and immunology at UCLA. WebMD went to a few experts to shed light on the subject.
If a child no longer has asthma symptoms, can you assume the asthma is gone, too? Kids may become asymptomatic, but the “chronic stuff” in their lungs probably doesn’t go away, says Derek K. Johnson, a pediatric allergist in Fairfax, Va.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
