I totally agree. I also have cough variant asthma, which confused
doctors for so long. I don't wheeze, except when I am on death's door,
but I have a wheezy cough. And when my asthma is acting up (like
now) I cough a lot.
Anyone know how to get cigarette odor out of furniture and the carpet?
I just moved into a new apartment, and the place has a faint reek of
cigarettes. It is activating my asthma. My company is changing out
the sofa and chair tomorrow, but I am not sure if it is in the carpet
as well.....
