Living Well With Asthma

Most asthma books focus on the physical impact of this disease and only briefly discuss the effects it can have on your lifestyle and sense of well-being. Living Well with Asthma addresses this issue in detail. Through anecdotes from asthma sufferers, the authors dispel myths and correct faulty assumptions using a simple four-question formula. To further topple self-defensive barriers to accepting and dealing with the disease, one chapter identifies the basic defense mechanisms people use and provides guidelines on how to overcome them. Subsequent chapters concentrate on practical advice for specific issues, such as handling asthma's effects on sex life, creating a more supportive family environment, and matching yourself to the best physician.
