were they unable to control your asthma with oral steroids? Most of the time doctors prefer to keep people off oral steroids as they have bad side effects.Do you take inhalers also??

Do you take flovent and prednisone pills? what dosage is your prednisone pills? flovent is an inhaled steroid that will usually help fend off attacks. I have heard of taking prednisone after a cold to help stop the wheezing. I usually take prednisone for a week or two when I get a cold because its great at controling wheezing. You live in holland mi, can you go to the university of michigan to see a doc there to get a good ananysis of your asthma?
