    I do, yes, but in every single gym class I’ve been in I would have to stop what I was doing completely and use my inhaler. The school tried having me use it before the exercise, but that did nothing.

      I played hockey and had to do the same (30 second shifts were all I could do, but thats all you need to do!)

      Trust me I know an emergency isn’t anywhere near enough for extended strenuous workouts. However, it does allow you to throw your hands up and continue to walk.

      None of this is meant to come down on you either, this was just how I was able to get myself to a point where I personally can run a mile now without wanting to die. More of an “If you ever wanted, im sure you could!”

        They do make inhalers that are longer-lasting and intended to prevent asthma attacks, but I haven’t tried them yet. If I ever get a house that will let me keep more than one bicycle so I can have a non-ebike (those omafiets look pretty sweet but I’d need adjustable gears for the slopes around here), I might consider it.
