I have been an asthmatic since I can remember so from being a baby, and I’m now 36.
Problem is it’s very poorly controlled; has been for a while now, under the chest clinic, tried different inhalers, medication etc - no joy, my peak flow is usually 350ish and I’ve been on 6 prednisolone daily for six weeks constantly,
I’m going to see my consultant next week and would love any input/experience/things tried that I could suggest, it’s getting really tough at the moment.
Here’s what my current asthma med is...
*Ventolin Inhaler
*Ventolin / Ipatrprium nebules for nebuliser
*Fostair
*Braltus (Tiotroprium)
*Montelukast
*Loratidine
Thanks in advance

With all this and my severe brittle asthma is still not controlled hopefully going to try bronchial thermoplasy but after that am not sure what the next step will be i have been uncontrolled for the past 3 years with a life threatening attack every 6-8 weeks xurrwntly have a picc line in for access due to my veins being destroyed i am having a portacath inserted 30th this month for easy access i hate asthma and how it affects peooles lives good luck to you x
I hope they can make it a bit easier for you in some way. Asthma is awful and people don’t realise the struggle it causes for us, they just associate with a puff of an inhaler and off we go, I think so much more publicity needs to surround asthma and it’s effects of people’s daily lives
