Hi I am feeling like the only person in the world with this disease because I am struggling to find others to share information with - yet I read there are thousands of adults diagnosed with Occupational asthma each year.

I inhaled chemicals in my workplace and it left me with Occupational Asthma (RADS &IIA) and the traditional asthma medication (symbicort- alvesco etc) - do not work for me - in fact it makes my breathing worse. :-(

I would love to hear from any other people who have Occupational Asthma. If you happen to have also been exposed to chemicals it would be great to know what medication is helping you .. if any etc. Anyway .. it would be just nice to chat to others with this horrid condition.

I created a youtube video and website - out of desperation to find others with this condition so we can share information and offer support.

    Hi

    I believe I may have occupational asthma after inhaling cellulose sprays years ago, I now find that chemicals and the fields of rape  are causing me problems. But I also handle hay etc for our pony which is dusty.  I was also badly affected by the air pollution back in March? of this year.

    i have just placed a blog under COPD as I was misdiagnosed with COPD and await a different inhaler to help my asthma. I have found that the Relvar Ellipta blue inhaler given for COPD seemed to make me short of breath.

    Have to wait and see how this new inhaler goes.

    regards
