I started having asthma 30 years ago, as an adult. As I have been getting older, the stress of aging and the fact of my asthma getting worse along with the huge cost of meds, has freaked me out. When my old job went away in L.A. and I moved here, my wife and I got divorced, the stock market wiped me out and now I have no medical insurance and cannot afford to buy any. Businesses do not hire 62 yr. old salespeople or train them for new jobs, so I stress more. I don’t sleep well or at all and my asthma keeps getting worse.
