Quick Update

So reducing my steroid dose didn't go quite to plan. Need to stay on 30mg for longer instead of reducing to 25mg. As soon as I tried to reduce the dose I started to wheeze again 🙁 to top it all off I've woke up with the dreaded swollen face and stomach. Is there a way to reduce the symptoms while still on them or am I stuck until I'm off them thanks in advance. Xx
