Your email address will be shown on any messages you post to the group's mesage board. To avoid having any mail sent by Group members to you, just notate: Do NOT write to me personally, I will read at the Group site. I hope you are being tested for sarcoidosis, TB, Strep infection and Alpha-1 ATT Deficiency. All of these may be misdiagnosed as asthma. Several new members say they also have asthma. If we can find your trigger, the treatment will be tailored to it. In the absence of that, please try to get as much [bed]rest as you can, and keep the legs elevated.
