My hospital asthma team visits gone from 3 to 6 months now as they happy im in control of my asthma and take steroids when i know i need them and see my doctor if need antibs for chest infections. Im a really happy bunny 80) !!!

Good news then glynis..so sorry....didn't realise you'd been in hospital with your asthma. Very unusual to have to do slow reduction with rescue steroids anyway.

Great they've put you on 6 monthly reviews.

So glad the appointment went well and ur severe asthma is now stable without the need of a nebuliser ..

Goodness....didn't know you had severe asthma Glynis?

[Hidden]

Yes dont need a nebuliser as my easyhaler 200 works great for me as a neb when need to multi dose 10 puffs 4 hourly.

think we need to define what severe asthma is here, as it seems to cover a multitude of levels.
