I'm rooting for your half-marathon and for a steroid-free year. :) And thanks for the excellent idea. There <i>are</i> a lot of misconceptions about asthma and exercise--I may have to pick your brain for that one. AG, Welcome back from your trip. Sounds like a great one. Thanks for your ideas, too--I like that question one especially. My main concern with hosting myself is just that I'd have a little more flexibility with the actual page and how it works. I love Wordpress, don't get me wrong, but I do like the idea of the blog being completely *mine.* Brittney, Congrats on the graduation–I didn’t realize it was so soon!

Initially, I think I tried to exercise my way out of asthma. I'd love more information on treatment/pre treatment options. It would be cool to list some general guidelines as well. I had no idea altitude would be an issue until I found myself sucking wind at almost 8000 feet on Mt. Rainier. That would have been a great FYI. I'd also like to see some introductory information. As you and I have shared, the first two years following a diagnoses is just a crap shoot in terms of finding out what the changes are and how they will effect you, your family.... the dogs! It would be great to have a brief outline of potential issues and even what questions you should be asking your doctor. I'm not sure what your goals are around the hosting issue or why you might move from Wordpress. What would you hope to accomplish? I’d like to see pages on exercise and asthma as well.

Too many people think they don't go together, or they think using albuterol 15 min before is the only way to prevent an attack and when that doesn't work they give up. My goal this year is to run the half marathon in May, graduate from college (the very next weekend!), and of course figure out what I'm doing next fall. Otherwise, my only other goal is to taper off the pred for good. I've had that goal for two years now, so maybe three is my lucky year? :) I’d love to see a page on exercise and asthma.
