Interesting thing happened - Asthma Message Board

I had to spend four days in the hospital with my girlfriend because she had a baby... (beautiful perfect baby girl)

Now that all the excitement is more under control I can talk about the fact that in the hospital, I didn't use an inhaler or have any symptoms even once.

So I think something at home is causing my symptoms.

First of all, I bet that was a wonderful experience being there for baby's birth. Secondly, I think you're probably right about the allergies. Hospitals tend to have very dry air - hence no dust mites or molds, so that might be a possibility. But, I wonder with your work, if the whole thing isn't being triggered by something you are exposed to, like paint. I know that's not what you want to hear, but I think its worth investigating. good luck.

Might want to consider moving? I bet it'd be far more expensive to renovate, anyway.

Yeah probably is something at home, especially considering it's freshly painted!
