"Asthma has no cure. Even when you feel fine, you still have the disease and it can flare up at any time. "However, with today's knowledge and treatments, most people who have asthma are able to manage the disease. They have few, if any, symptoms. They can live normal, active lives and sleep through the night without interruption from asthma."[1] "Asthma can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. Because asthma often changes over time, it's important that you work with your doctor to track your signs and symptoms and adjust treatment as needed."[2] " . . . . Staying active is an important way to stay healthy, so asthma shouldn't keep you on the sidelines. Your physician can develop a management plan to keep your symptoms under control before, during and after physicial activity. . . . . "There is no cure for asthma, but once it is properly diagnosed and a treatment plan is in place you will be able to manage your condition, and your quality of life will improve."[3] "There is no cure for asthma, but the good news is it can be managed and treated so you can live a normal, healthy life."[4] My best wishes to you in enjoying the same long-term relief from severe asthma symptoms and enjoyment of exercise that I wish for my relatives who have asthma. (I have allergies, but fortunately I have been spared asthma.)
