MUST READ: Stop Coughing This Winter!

Anika still had doubts. She thought asthma only happened to children, and had always lived around cats without any allergic reaction. But the reality of her condition soon hit home, in a very personal way.

“I didn’t believe the doctor. Then one day I was sitting in my living room and I kept hearing this high-pitched whistle – one of those background noises that can drive you batty! I went around the house checking the stove, the heater and even turned off the TV. I finally realized it was me. It was my chest whistling! That was the beginning of my journey with asthma, which attacks the very thing that makes my living – my voice, my air.”
