CL of the Month: March 2005 cl_cynhaller

Cynthia Name: Cynthia, cl-cynhaller

Communities: Allergies & Asthma on Health & Well-Being and Expatriate on Pregnancy & Parenting

What brought you to Health & Well-Being?
I had just been diagnosed with asthma and had tons of questions running through my mind, such as: How do you get asthma, why is it bothering me now, what should I be careful about? And all of the information that I found online was about asthma as a childhood disease. I felt like an odd case. And when I found the Asthma message board at iVillage, I asked if it was possible to develop asthma in adulthood, and the answers I got were amazing. I felt normal again. And I finally found the place to get all of the information I needed. I also found out I could bring support to others, and this was something amazing, too.

How has your experience as a community leader affected your life?
In many, many ways, all of my boardies are like my family. I worry a lot if I don't see them online for a while. You never know what can happen with allergies
