Rhonda Nelson, renowned patient advocate author and speaker. Her most important interest is AERD ,Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease , also known as Samter's Triad. This is a chronic medical condition that typically develops in adulthood, usually between the ages of 20 and 50. Here are some key points about AERD: 

 Most people with AERD have asthma that often does not respond well to conventional treatments.  Recurrent nasal polyps are common, leading to chronic sinus infections and a loss of sense of smell.  Sensitivity to NSAIDs, such as increased nasal congestion, frontal headache, sinus pain, sneezing, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness. 

About 75% of patients with AERD develop mild-to-moderate respiratory reactions when they drink alcohol. 

Rhonda, along with her husband Wayne Nelson, the lead singer of the Little River Band, has shared her journey of living with AERD to help others understand and manage this challenging condition
