Asthma and Enstilar Aerosol for Psoriasis! :(

I had a first asthma attack last Saturday (6 days ago), and slowly starting to breathe a little better, but not terrific yet.

The shock last Saturday had made the psoriasis I have suddenly flare up, so I used some Enstilar foam on my legs/hips before going to bed.

Big mistake: the foam is in an aerosol can, and a mist rises when spraying it on ...only got one leg done and breathing got quite bad. A few doses of Ventolin and a quick application on the other leg, and I closed the door to this room and went to bed. Even getting upstairs was hard work. 15 minutes propped up in bed, and I dozed off.

I'll wear a painters mask next time I use it ...best advice the pharmacist could offer!
