First Signs

Lynsey was just a baby when she was diagnosed with asthma. Obviously too young to remember, her mom helps her discuss what that process was like.

Watch the video above to learn more about getting an asthma diagnosis, or read the written summary below.

It's common for scents to cause coughing and wheezing, whether it be flowers, grass, spray deodorants, perfumes, or bleach. Lynsey reacted to these and spent a lot of time at the doctor's because of it.

At 14 months old, she was finally diagnosed with brittle asthma. She was prescribed prednisone and steroids, antibiotics and a home nebulizer.

7-Year Bursts

Lynsey's doctor told her asthma comes in seven-year bursts. Unfortunately, it never went away.

At 26 years old, she still has many of the same issues.

Problems With Diagnosis

Most hospitals won't diagnose asthma in a child under 12 months. Lynsey spent eight months of her life in and out of hospital, but they never told her family why. Her mom had to fight for her diagnosis.
