Hi all --

I saw a post from Allergy & Asthma Network that this week is Type 2 Inflammation Awareness Week. I would love to hear some insights if any of you have dealt with this? Multiple conditions caused by one underlying issue - the type 2 inflammation?

I read that there are therapies that can work to target that root cause such as biologic meds. Is this true? There is a ton of helpful info from Allergy & Asthma Network: https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/news/type-2-inflammation-awareness-week/

Did you know that many chronic conditions are more connected than you think? Asthma, eczema, nasal polyps (CRSwNP), EoE, AERD, allergic rhinitis, and chronic hives may all share an underlying driver: Type 2 inflammation.

That’s why this Type 2 Inflammation Awareness Week (May 18–22), Allergy & Asthma Network is shining a spotlight on the importance of understanding the “why” behind symptoms, connecting the dots between conditions, and empowering patients with trusted resources and education.

Infants can’t tell us when something is wrong, which makes recognizing anaphylaxis even more critical.
🚨Signs of infant anaphylaxis may include:
👶 Hives, rash, or swelling (especially lips/face)
😮‍💨 Coughing, wheezing, or trouble breathing
🤢 Vomiting or diarrhea
😢 Sudden fussiness, fatigue, or behavior changes
🔵 Pale, blue, or gray skin color

Symptoms can happen quickly and may affect more than one part of the body. If you suspect anaphylaxis, act fast…. epinephrine first, epinephrine fast.

Don't leave your healthcare provider's office wondering "should I have asked about that?" 🤔

Here are questions worth bringing to your next asthma checkup:

💊 About your medications:

→ Am I using my inhaler correctly?

→ What are the long-term side effects?

→ What do I do if I can't afford my medicine?

🏃 About your daily life:

→ How do I know if my asthma is well-controlled?

→ Can I exercise safely? What exercises are safe for me?

→ How do I make my home or workplace asthma-friendly?

You deserve clear answers. Write your questions down before you go and remember that appointment time moves fast! ⏱️
