The World Health Organization estimates that about 235 million people worldwide suffer from asthma.  So you are definitely NOT alone if you are dealing with this yourself. Why have I decided to write about this? My mom has asthma, my sister has asthma, so does my brother in law and my nephew.  My nephew has been hospitalized multiple times for his asthma.
