(((((((( Simcha ))))))))

I struggle with asthma also. I have a blue inhaler (reliever) and a brown inhaler (preventer.) Simcha, you didn't say what inhalers you have but the brown inhaler will help stop the build up of mucus in the first place. It's a very low dose of steroid that goes straight in the lungs.

Unfortunately I have to have a weeks dose of predisone (steroids) when I get a cold as it goes straight to my chest, get a chest infection and that rubs the asthma up the wrong way. I have to sleep sitting up when this happens. It's pretty awful not being able to breathe.

Asthma is life-threatening, please go back to your Doc.
