Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 My name is Judith Herbers and I haven't been very active on this list. My asthma (non allergic hyperreactive airways) seems to be getting worse every year. I have a constant sinus infection for which I have steroidal meds, I also take oxis, atrovent and flixotide at high dosages. All in all 1600 mg inhalation steroids. Right now things are very poor due to a very slight respitory infection. I am short of breath more so than normal, and have no energy whatsoever. The pollen have caused me a lot of trouble this year, my airways seem to be getting more sensitive each year. I also have EIA which prevents me to really exercise properly. I do fitness once a week and walk my dogs daily. I have also recently discovered I have celiac disease and have had a slight case of excema for a few years. In short things seem to be slowly getting worse. Is this normal for asthma? Though the newest leukotrien meds like singulair make me drowsy, should I still consider these during really bad periods? I am very fortunate that all meds are covered by Dutch National Health insurance, even the supplemental nutrition I need.
