Ken

Maybe a CP link... Were you a preemie? If your lungs were underdeveloped =
there may have been some scarring which could be showing up again as a =
problem now as you age. Also, preemies are more susceptible to RSV ( a =
serious respiratory virus which hits kids under age 5 but especially =
preemies). RSV can lead to asthma down the road. Like everything else if =
you have a weak spot somewhere it will tend to get worse as you age... :-)

Just a thought.
