After 18 yrs of numerous drs and tons of different medications including the use of a daily nebulizer...my husband was diagnosed with eosinophilic puenimonia. It is a chronic condition that only responded to the prednisone or the new med xolair.

The drs seem to think that he now has this because he was not treated completely in those earlier years. Gotta love Kaiser ins.

He now only uses an advair inhaler and occasionaly some prednisone

Point is that you need to make sure that you doctor checks for EVERYTHING
