Asthma is like an Iceberg. An Iceberg has over 90% of its mass below the surface. Meaning that you don’t see 90% of the iceberg. This is a good metaphor for Asthma as its effects are not always outward facing. You don’t necessarily know all the symptoms that someone might be facing because some of them happen internally in the body or in private. Usually, these other invisible symptoms are only shown to those with the disease or the loved ones they talk to about it
We have a Facebook Group called Asthma Support And Inspiration, where we discuss all these Hidden Symptoms. It’s a great support system for those who suffer from asthma, have a loved one with it, or caregiving for someone with Asthma. We have over 100 members and would love to have you join us in the conversation.
