Peter McQuitty was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 2, but treatments at that time did not help him. In this #SevereAsthma video, she tells u how he was taken out of school, he saw many, many doctors, but their diagnosis and treatments did not make him get better. Recent research has led scientists to better define asthma, improve diagnosis and develop better therapies so patients have a better quality of life. We hope all asthma patients be able to control their asthma soon.
Severely, ASTHMA! is a 2018 a video series portraying six real severe asthma patients and their families throughout Europe, each bringing a unique insight on diagnosis, care, social and family life, being young with asthma, participating in research and living with air pollution.

I was also diagnosed at 2, I am 54 and been on the injections 2 years and they have changed my life. I am on the same medication as you as well. Thank you for your story.

I use it for Moderate Asthma that I was diagnosed with at 12yrs old. I was originally told that my asthma wasn’t very bad but still bad enough. And after a few months I told the doctor that the medication wasn’t really working and he put me on a stronger dose.
