Hi for me apart from the usual, it is things with a strong smell that are not so good so i always try to avoid them. Also it is not necessarily the things around you but also what you are doing at the time . I also find that once i have removed the trigger i am fine again

I’m still trying to figure it out, it seems like every thing that has s scent or odor to it affects me, I use free and clear everything, even the smell of foods sometimes and coffee , glad I don’t drink it, I can only get in a couple of cars because of thee air freshest, it. Is. A pain, but I figure at least I’m here, some people have a lot more health problems,keep your head up, lungs open and a positive attitude if possible. Breathe Easy

To figure out your triggers, you're going to have to pay attention to how you react and then go back and think about what you were doing, where you were, what was the weather like, who was with you, what you were doing and try to identify things that might have caused some breathing reaction. It will take time, but you will begin to realize that every time "this" occurred, you had a reaction, so it's safe to assume that is a trigger. For many of us, identifying our triggers is a life-long experience and they do change over time.

As for what happens when a trigger is removed, that, too, is something you're going to have to figure out. Some things will stop when the trigger is removed, or you remove yourself from it, others may linger and some can even result in an exacerbation. You'll have to find out what happens to you by experimenting a bit. You really just have to live your life and learn from your experiences. Your other choice is to hole up in your home and never leave. That's no life.

If you're finding a lot of things that seem to trigger problems, you probably should see an allergist and get tested. Then you'll know what some of the triggers are and an allergist might help with meds or shots.

Some of my triggers are doing too much, bending over, my breathing treatments which I do 4 times a day. And coughing is a big one. And walking too far too fast. But I have never been able to slow down. So I make many stops to catch my breath. Even walking to the mailbox or the dumpster can be a challenge but I still & have to do it. I refuse to give up. Jesus has my back. Thank God for that!

Oh, I find that sad cause I was missing a real tree. It's a good thing my house is too small for one. I've had beautiful artificial one for 22 yrs. I bought a beautiful 4 ft. one that has frosted tips and pine cones here and there. It is lovely.
Feliz Navidad
