These asthma associations are mostly groups who come together with the same interest- asthma. Many of them primarily want to provide more ways of caring for people with asthma.

Some of them have websites that serve as a great resource for asthmatic patients as well as doctors and practitioners in the area of asthma and other allergic diseases.

They provide completely free information on asthma, allergic diseases and go a step further to provide all the information on their treatment.

Anyone with asthma or interested in asthma can join these asthma associations. When joined as a member, you will enjoy special benefits available to only members.

One of such asthma associations is the:

- Pennsylvania Allergy & Asthma Association (PAAA)

According to PAAA, its mission shall be:

1 to serve as an advocate for patients with allergic, asthmatic, and immunological disorders in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;

2 to promote and encourage the study and to educate practitioners of allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology;

3 to disseminate pertinent knowledge among professionals and lay public;

4 to promote and encourage research in allergy and related disciplines; and

5 to cooperate with other organizations and agencies in any area relating to the practice or study of allergy, asthma, and immunologic disease.

Other asthma associations include:

- Association of Asthma Educators.
- Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America
- European Federation of Asthma and Allergy Association
- Allergy/Asthma Information Association
- American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI)

*************************************

Rhinitis -- Rhinitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining inside the nose, often due to an allergy to pollen, dust or other airborne substances. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is also known as hay fever, a disorder that causes sneezing, itching, a runny nose and nasal congestion.

Oximetry Meter -- Also known as an oximeter or pulse oximeter, it monitors and reports the oxygen saturation of the blood. A lightweight finger clamp is usually placed on an adult's finger, while the big toe is generally monitored in small children. Saturation levels (O2 sats) should be in the high 90's.

Pneumonia -- Since an asthma parent is familiar with seeing many of those symptoms on a daily basis, pneumonia can sneak in unnoticed. (It's happened to Ed more than once.) It is important to consult your physican when your child is suffering from a respiratory virus.
