keep breathing in love

Hi I am Kathy Schanazi I am fifty five years old my disability is asthma and COPD so I almost died but was rescued twice by paramedics in the ICU. I take  xolair injections which cost $700 a month and inhalers. I was diagnosed as a teenager but now as I said before I am 55 and never felt discrimination but I know it is  just hard for me sometimes  I get tired and short of breath and I hide my asthma from people because it is a stigma for me and I do not want people to know I have anything wrong with me. I don't like to promote that I have an illness or anything negative of the sort .
