Hi Miriam,

Here are some examples I have used when speaking of my condioitn (asthma):

I have this condition that is called asthma
I have this thing that doctors call asthma
Sometimes I mispell the word when writing: asthme (does not have the same power anymore!)

I speech I usually use a hesitant tone of.. err... asth -ma (raising the intonation as if it was a question, not wanting to make it too definite!)

I guess you could use same kind of tehcniques when spaking of your condition.

I wish you the best healing experience!
