VIDEO - HERSTORY: Jeanette Share What Provokes Her Asthma

June 12, 2009 - 4:59pm 74 reads 0 comments

Jeanette describes the allergens and events that provoke her asthmatic condition.

Jeanette:
My asthma, I would guarantee to say it’s because of a stress level. I let my body get worn down because it comes in key times of year like right around Christmas and the holidays where I work myself so my body’s, you know, immune system is down. And then at that time, coincidentally, there’s a lot of snowbirds here so that our pollution level’s at a different rate. And the only other time I can think of that I would have had higher is if, like last week when they were shredding the grass and sculping it back, then my breathing gets bad, but I didn’t go into a full attack, and I didn’t need to call the doctor.
