I was just reading an article about something I had heard of before that has now been approved as a method of treating asthma. It's a procedure called Bronchial Thermoplasty, where they use thermal energy to help reduce airway restriction.
This is the best news I, as an asthmatic, have heard in a long time. It could mean that I could run without worrying about the weather (in humidity, in heat, in the cold), and that I could stop relying on expensive steroids with sketchy side effects to control my asthma.
I know this blog post is long-overdue and totally self serving, but I'm JUST SO EXCITED! Asking my doctor about this ASAP: http://www.btforasthma.com/
