Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi Hannah, I am very sorry to hear of your difficulties with asthma. It's unfortunate that some people have to suffer from asthma as bad as you - it must be rough to go through. Just wondering, are you on oral steroids at all??? I know sometimes Dr's may add in oral steroids in addition to long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled steroids. Sometimes this can be of help, although I do not have personal expiernce with this method of treatmetn as my asthma is much milder than yours. Anyway, as I have no words of advice really, I can offer you support of you would ever like to talk. Please take care, warm wishes and {{{{{hugs}}}}} to you.
