    Forme,I havemoderately severe asthma whichistriggered byexcersize andpollen (allergies). Foremergencies,I useanalbuterol inhaler.

    One thing thathasworked AMAZINGLY formeistheprescription steroid Asthmanex. AsI mentioned,before I’ve experienced moderate tosevere symptoms,andafterI begantaking this(abouta month ago),I’ve hadhardly anytroubleatall. Usually,I’m sick allthetime,butI haven’t beensick once sinceI started. Also,I’ve noticed a significant increase inmylung function andcapacity.

    I don’t mean toadvocate forthem,butthisdrug hasseriously done miracles forme. I’d google itfirst tosee ifyouthinkitmightbea goodfit foryou,thenaskyourdoctor aboutit. Ifyourasthma isasbadasmine,it’s worth a shot though.

    I havea humidifier atmybedside year round anditmakesa hugedifferenceinmybreathing. Don’t sleep withthewindows open –thenyou’re breathing inthepollen filled air allnight. Youmayneed toadjust yourseasonal allergy medication forthetimes you’re mostsensitive (spring orspring andfall). Youmayhavetostarta nasal spray likerhinocort orflonase. Perhaps startAdvair during those sensitive months. You’re doing goodwiththeair filter.
