Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Some of the basics covered in this group can help with other lung conditions...for example the ideas on air filters and when we talk about nebulizers and stuff : other lung condition people also worry and question each other about those things, but the difference is with more people with asthma and a larger pool, you can get answers to discussions a lot quicker because the asthma network is more likely to be more active and integrated one with another compared to say a CF or COPD group.
