This crud I have had has been kicking my butt. Unfortunately, I am limited on what I can take for it. I have some weird reactions to some medications and I can not take any decongestants or cough suppressants. Thankfully, I can take plain expectorants. {{{Musinex}}}
The wheezing was bad enough the other night that they put me on a course of Prednisone. It is helping. At this point I will feel pretty good for a few hours, then I will crater for awhile. The wheezing is much better though. I have had a couple of bouts in the last day or two, but nothing like it was the other night.
I first developed asthma when I was about 35. I had never had a problem with it before that. Generally, it is very minor. Most of the time, these days, I really don't have much problem with it. I don't normally take any medication for it and usually only use the Albuterol inhaler on occasion.
If I get an upper respiratory infection though, all bets are off; I may be on the inhaler every few hours for months. Bleah. I am hoping this course of Prednisone will kick it out though and let me get back to normal!
Hope you are feeling much better soon.Prednisolone are brilliant if you have a bad chest infection, my youngest son suffered so much when he was younger but a course of steroids soon had him well again.
