hello Islander....Actually on my own i don't have any experience regarding with that NOR i never been to UK yet...I just share some of my knowledge based of my own family experience.
Okay.... my grandmother do have an asthma but she is not born asthmatic , she just got it when one time she was having an accident a year ago and yet until now she was suffering that kind of . Shes at age 79 at this point although she was been into rescue for so many times that she was been in and out to hospital moreover.
To make the long story short, her daughter (mom sister) decided to get her out in phils and decided to migrate in USA for we all thought that colder place is much more better for her to cure the asthma...but on the other way around....it goes more complicated it won't help any. And yes she was been in states two times in a row, as what what my grandma said she doesn't feel like the cold and not comfortable to stay there for long due to her asthma problem.
Every now and then....she has a medication to cure that everytime her astma attack, she use a liquid kind of thing to put in a tube and inhale it using an electric nebulizer.... but if it goes more and if she feel she can't handle anymore thats the time she needs to send back n forth to hospital but at least it do help to minimize. She uses "nebule" and maintain it and always be right in her side at any time of the day/night as you will never know when the asthma attack, that cost 18 peso for one but she uses more than twice or more each day............
thank you and hope it gives u an idea...
