I am new to the DX of asthma and things are going very poorly. I take advair 500 - 2 puffs a day/ Nasonex - 2 sprays a nostril/ abuterol as needed.

Does anyone have asthma? Can you tell me if it hurts to breathe? I have been on these meds consistently since Jan - this is the first year in about 10 years that I have't had serious sinus infections but I have been and am very sick - coughing like I used to before meds, and this really hard time breathing.

I have looked asthma up but I' m not positive I have it...

so does anyone at all have any suggestions.

does it severly limit your life?

Thank you very much.
