"Laughter Not the Best Medicine for Asthmatic Kids"

Mar 27, 2002 15:44

I just read a news article about an Australian study in which almost 2/3rds of childrens asthma attacks were found to be brought on by laughter or excitement. Why is this so damn sad and funny at the same time?

In case the friggin LJ name doesnt give it away, I myself have been asthmatic for some time. After this article, everything about my life makes so much more sense. I am not melloncholly, not morbid, stoic, no no.. not macabre, depressing, ironic, sarcastic.. I'm just trying to breathe.

Cough.
