Renay Michele Lambert, 63, from Ontario, Canada, i

Renay Michele Lambert, 63, from Ontario, Canada, is a retired dental supply professional who has faced significant health challenges due to asthma and nasal polyps. These conditions often worsen each other, making management difficult. Respiratory issues run in her family, with several relatives suffering from asthma and COPD. Growing up in a household with second-hand smoke exposure, Renay developed a sensitivity to smoke that persists today. Though Renay showed early signs of asthma, including difficulty blowing out candles and lingering coughs, she didn’t seek medical attention until her early 40s. In 2003, after experiencing worsening symptoms, she was misdiagnosed multiple times before finally receiving an accurate diagnosis of asthma and nasal polyps. “I felt like a prisoner in my own body.” Frustrated by conflicting medical advice, Renay turned to Asthma Canada’s Asthma and Allergy HelpLine, which helped clarify her diagnosis. “Asthma Canada gave me clarity about what I was experiencing.” Renay took an active role in managing her health, attending educational webinars and seeking knowledgeable specialists. Biologic medications have been a “miracle drug” for her, helping to control her nasal polyps and asthma. However, she emphasizes the challenges of accessing advanced treatments due to insurance and funding issues. “The complexities of insurance and funding are always there, but Asthma Canada has been a huge help.” Today, Renay’s quality of life has improved, and she remains proactive about her health. “Asthma Canada has been fantastic,” she says, grateful for the resources and support that have made a difference in her journey.

President & CEO of Asthma Canada, Jeffrey Beach, was delighted to collaborate with Jessica Buckley, ICD.D, President & CEO of the @lunghealthfoundation, on an op-ed for @hamiltonspectator (and various other publications) as part of our ongoing Break Breathlessness campaign. Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) impact millions of Canadians, placing significant pressure on our health care system. These chronic respiratory diseases result in frequent hospital visits, diminished quality of life, and increased demand for resources. To make a meaningful difference, we must focus on:
✔️ Early diagnosis and effective management plans
✔️ Preventive measures, including environmental improvements
✔️ Patient education and awareness Read the full article: link in story. #Asthma #COPD #CanadianHealthcare #BreakBreathlessness #LungHealth
