Hello MotownJohnny,

I have asthma also which is very bad. Mine is bad enough to need steroids (prednisolone) when it is out of control. Infections and stress make my asthma worse. It is worth going back to your doctor and there should be a dedicated asthma nurse to help sort out the correct medication for you. I am on a seretide disc inhaler for steroid long term symptom reduction and a ventoline inhaler (one which I just breathe in without having to coordinate my breathing to as a rescue medication.)

The point is, there are many different medications and inhalers that can suit you, it's just a matter of finding the right combination.
