OT - asthma/alleriges kicking my butt !

Hi TT....didn't know you had asthma.
I strongly suggest you get on a steroid inhaler and a long lasting brohchodilator medication....either separately or in combo. One I caution is to not use Breo initially...horrible med.

The other option is to try singulair if your allergies are the main trigger in your asthma reactions and the former suggestions aren't enough.

Hope this helps.

thanks so much Ladies


yes H, my asthma has been around 30+ years - but like many things, it has become more of an issue as time moves on - use to be just exercise induced - now it's mostly from allergies to everything - I was away from my house and all the things associated with it for about 2 months recently - guess what ? no more asthma symptoms after about 3 days of being away - so for the time being, I need to address the problem until I get at least some of the allergy sources eliminated -


sounds like I should give singulair a go -

do you both use the inhaled form ?

I took the pill form, worked really well and pretty quickly.

I don't use Singulair....didn't know it came in inhaler?

The reason I suggest you use steroid inhaler is because it will help reduce scarring in the lungs if you've had chest colds, continual inflammation and overuse of fast-acting bronchodilators.

symbicort for the win - well, time will tell, but winner in terms of initial cost = $0.00 ! my kind of new med for sure -

and I plan on shaving all the cats - wish me luck !
