Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 See aren't ya glad you joined our family here! Terry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teddy Bear's Early Learning ProgramEstablished August of 1992 From: asthma [mailto:asthma ] On Behalf Of TmwilliamsSent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 8:08 PMTo: asthma Subject: Re:Welcome Thank you for the wonderful welcome! I see my asthma doctor tomorrow and can mention symbicort to him. Karan, what happens if you take something like 5mg singulair with phenylanine in it? , my asthma is induced by anything & everything, chemicals, fragrances, outdoors, food, animals, stress, etc. So, maybe I can substitute singulair for nasalcrom? Becasue my asthma was controlled & my allergies were pretty much controlled with Nasalcrom & claritin before my doctor prescribed singulair? I hope my doctor doesn't think I'm being difficult, but the less medicine I can take the better. Especially when he prescribes, a drug with aspartame in it without considering whether I want to take it or not.... Thanks Terry for suggesting Xyzal. I'll mention it to my doctor especially if he insists that I continue with the 5mg singulair. Thanks Madeline for suggesting clarinex and asthmanex, too. Now I have a list to take to my doctor to offer alternatives. Thanks to everyone for all of your helpful responses. I had no idea there were althernates to advair out there & you've helped me to see there are other choices.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 tracy, i can't metabolize phenylalnine .i have a rare disorder called phenylketonuria. when i eat protien( all foods with protien contain this amino acid-phenylanine) the Phe builds up in my body and causes brain damage( how much damage depends on how much phenylanine is bulit up) i have to be on a restricted diet of mainly fruits and veggies- no meat, dairy, pasta , bread, the list goes on and on. my doctors are aware of my pku and prescribe my meds accordingly. i also take 1 med(15 pills a day in addition to all my other meds) for the pku. for me having asthma and allergies just complicates things a little more.
