Turns out I have Asthma

So the other day I was training Jiu Jitsu as I do now, and it came to me with a bit of a shock. I suffer from asthma. No idea why it should come to me as a shock as it is something I have had since I was a seven. Yet, I have never really given much thought about it in my adult life.

OOO PURPLE!

Asthma was a big reason why I never really tried any sport. I would run for a minute and then fall over wheezing and coughing like I am about to die. Now that I am an adult trying to do my best in a very physically demanding sport, I am not even giving the episodes that much though. They still happen, Asthma is incurable after all.

So why am I not giving this illness the attention and care it needs? I should be reading up on it, researching which pumps are the best. Know when not to go too hard and so on. The latter not being a problem since being lazy means I never really go too hard.

Anyway, will have a look at getting an asthma pump. Some articles I have read says they can help when used 20 minutes before going to practice. Maybe it even improves my jits. Who knows. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
