Yes I take Symbicort 2 puffs twice a day normally,but we added one puff mid day. That can’t be a long term extra because of cardiac risk.

I also nebulize every 6 hours with deoneb right now.

Few times a year I get a flare but usually that heavy dose of steroids knock it out, this is just a bad one.

It’s so frustrating !
