Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi Everyone, I am Mickey and had asthma as a child until puberty. It came out of remission about 10 years ago. It seems to be getting worse even though I am avoiding possible allergens. My medications are Singulair, Advair, Combivent (rescue inhaler), just started Spiriva 3 days ago, Allegra and Nasonex. Had pneumonia in April. The weather here in SE Michigan has been rainstorm after rainstorm which exacerbates my episodes of asthma. Has anyone been on Spiriva for a month or so? Just wondering what results others are getting on this new medication. Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hey Mickey, I live in Wisconsin and we've been hit with thunderstorm after thunderstorm and just a lot of rain and it's been aggravating me as well. Mostly my allergies, but when my allergies get really bad then that aggravates my asthma. Hang in there. Dry weather has to be on it's way.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Thanks for the welcome, Angie. Nice to *meet* you! It is hard to live with all the allergens, specifically mold, caused by all this moisture. In fact, it is raining once again right now.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 You're welcome Mickey. Nice to meet you as well. You are so right about the hard to live with all the allergens. I'm allergic to many things. It's unreal and I'm so sick of it. LOL! Angie > Thanks for the welcome, Angie.
