Living with Asthma and Chronic Illness: My Story

Hi! I'm Kirsty, I am 31 and I live in the East of England in a lovely little flat with my cats who I love very much. When I was about 8 I developed asthma which got worse and worse as I grew and along with the asthma I was getting lots of chest infections which damaged my lungs and caused more infections.
