May is National Asthma and Allergies awareness month.
Rochester has been voted the 5th worst place in the country for allergies and the 2nd worst for asthma! Indoor and outdoor allergens are the top trigger of asthma, and significant cause of daily underlying inflammation even on days you are feeling good!
Piling on long term medications while ignoring the cause is not good asthma care! Anyone with asthma symptoms and especially anyone relying on a long term daily steroid inhaler should be tested, and identify what can be done to reduce exposures and turn off the body’s overreactions!! The goal is enjoying life with symptoms controlled with as little medication in the body as possible!
