I've been struggling with my asthma for a while now and I have specialist and I been to doctors about a cough I've had for about 2 weeks my chest was fine apparently but I keep getting problems my meds keep getting changed they will help for a couple of days but then I'd go downhill again I've just had enough now

I just want to be able to wake up in the morning and be able to breathe because atm I'm waking up every morning breathless and coughing

I've had enough of uncontrolled asthma

Has anyone ever felt like this if so how do you cope??

Thx in advance x

Thx you I'm just going through a rough patch ATM

I can't remember the last time I was able to wake up and be able to breathe

It was back in January I think I was able to but i just got a point where I've had enough so I needed to tell someone I guess and I knew that this would be the best place because someone will understand

Thx you I hope so to I'm now on 40mg of prednisolone so hopefully it improves my breathing

I have had to use prednisone for treating after having an asthma attack. I take 40 mg for 7 days as per my asthma plan. It

really does work. The idea of this medication is a high dose steroids which dampers down the inflammation and let's your body recover.

Yeh I know I have had it so many times before

No wonder you are so feed up. My comments were to help you but I can see that you have done this so many times so what I said didn't really help at all.

I hope and pray that this time your asthma calms down after this course of steroids. Then with the help of your doctors and asthma nurse find medication that control your asthma with no or little smytoms.
