I have adult onset asthma and when it started I didn't believe I had it. I wasn't sure what was happening to me even.

I am constantly going through periods of starting treatments when I have a crisis and then I'll slowly just stop when I'm doing better b/c I can't believe I have a problem ... only to end up yet again having a problem.

I suffer from chronic sinus infections as well as bronchitis and often pneumonia as well.

I had been doing well for the past 1year and a half and my pulminologist actually told me back then that if I didn't come and see her continually ..not only when I had a problem ..not to come back.

Well a month ago I had a serious asthma attack..one unlike any other because of an unusual situation and I'm now after non-stop prednisone, neb treatments every 4 hours, advair, singulair, zyrtec D and antibiotics because it lead to a sinus infection and bronchitis.

I ended up sucking it up and going back to the pulminologist ...she took me back and yelled at me.

It's a frustrating thing and it's hard to get used to I guess.
