- What does Asthma- och Allergiförbundet (Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association) want?
- To get asthma means that life will change and that those around you will be affected to. Which is why it may be good to know - the asthma can be controlled. Through a sound living and by improving your health, the frequency and severity of the symptoms can be reduced. There are medicines. Research is advancing rapidly and we have excellent specialists in Sweden. Most asthma sufferers can, with proper treatment and a good knowledge about their illness lead a nearly completely normal life.
- One distinguishes between allergy, hypersensitivity and intolerance. All three conditions are about the body reacting to substances that humans usually agree with. Sometimes minimal doses or even the smell of a substance is enough to trigger a reaction. Allergy, hypersensitivity and intolerance can give the same symptoms but there are important differences deciding, among other things, treatment and medication.
