Question: When should I send medications to school for my child with asthma?
Answer: Most kids can better manage their asthma symptoms if they carry and know how to use their asthma inhalers and other medications at school. At the same time, schools must follow state laws and policies about whether students can carry and use inhalers and other treatments, like epinephrine auto-injectors. If your child's school doesn't usually let kids carry medicine, talk with school officials to figure out what skills he would need to show in order to make that possible. Then work with his doctor to make learning those skills a part of your child's asthma action plan. The doctor can also tell the school whether she recommends letting your child carry and give himself his medicine.

They should know how severe his condition is, his triggers, which medications he needs and how to give them, and what to do in case of an asthma attack.

You will need to keep track of the date when you send the inhaler and replace the medicines at school regularly.
Question: How does an asthma action plan help my child in school?
Answer: You may want to schedule a conference with teachers and other school officials to go over the plan and any other details they should know, including correct inhaler use, location of the inhaler, and signs of trouble breathing Also, look around your child's classroom and other areas he might go at the school to see if there are any known allergy or asthma triggers. If you are aware of any, like dust mites or dust, you should work with the teacher to see if the school can reduce them.

The asthma action plan should clearly say what to do if your child is having asthma symptoms that his inhaler can't stop.

Question: What is moodiness like in periods?

When those hormones rise and fall, so does your mood. During PMS and your period, expect to feel everything from crabbiness and anger to feeling more anxious or down than normal. You can't avoid the mood swings that come with your period, but it does help to get good sleep, stay active, and steer clear of caffeine and unhealthy foods to keep the lows from feeling too low.

Question: How do blood loss and blood clots happen in periods?
Answer: Though it can vary from month to month, periods usually start off with a light flow, get heavier, then taper off. On average, women lose about 2 to 4 tablespoons of blood during each period. In terms of pads or tampons, that means changing them out every 2 hours or more. If you need to change out less than every 2 hours -- or have quarter-size or larger clots -- let your doctor know. Small clots of blood are common. Your body releases anticoagulants to keep the blood from clotting as it moves through your vagina. But on days when you're bleeding or cramping heavily, it may not be released in time.

Answer: The process happens about 450 times over your lifetime. From the inside, periods don't feel as awesome.

You can still do everything that you would during the rest of the month, if you know how to manage the baggage your monthly visitor may bring. It also depends on ovulation, or when your ovaries release an egg about halfway through your cycle.
Question: How does cramping happen in periods?
Answer: Cramps can start before your period and last throughout the bleeding process. If they feel mild, like someone's giving your ovaries a solid squeeze, it's normal. Try an over-the-counter medication for pain relief. If they take your breath away or have you doubled over in pain, check in with your doctor. You can't avoid the mood swings that come with your period, but it does help to get good sleep, stay active, and steer clear of caffeine and unhealthy foods to keep the lows from feeling too low. The average is 28 days, and anything between 21 and 35 is normal.
