Katrina's Asthma Story
Katrina was diagnosed with asthma as an adult in 2018. “It was all brand new. I didn’t know how to manage it. I got bronchitis twice,” says Katrina.
After being sick for much of 2019, Katrina found our 1800 ASTHMA information line on Twitter.
“Calling 1800 ASTHMA gave me a chance to ask questions like; What is asthma? What is it doing to my lungs? Why do I keep getting bronchitis and pneumonia?
I’m now more aware what to do when I’m having an asthma flare-up. I know when I need to start taking medication, so it doesn’t get out of control. My Asthma Educator helped me learn what my triggers were. I set some fitness goals too. My puppy, Henry (pictured), was keen to help!
After speaking with an Asthma Educator, I’ve noticed a huge difference. My asthma control test also improved, and I haven’t had pneumonia since.
I think it’s important for people to donate to Asthma Australia to fund asthma research and to provide asthma education. These activities have helped me and will help others in the future. We need resources like 1800 ASTHMA,” says Katrina.
