Thanks for the info., and that's a lot of info. which I wanted to know.

Weight gain is a biggie for me. I also have glaucoma (diagnosed around the same time as asthma) I had ulcer last year, and the doc said it was from NSAID.

I had to take prednisone (oral and/or cream) every so often because of allergies, and lately, for asthma.

Although I've stopped taking prednisone, I'm still taking inhaled steroids. I know it's side effects are a lot less than oral steroids, but there are still side effects, and I think they are making my glaucoma worse.

I wish there's an alternative, but I don't know any.
