prendnisolone every month this year

[asthma999]

i have been getting worse & worse ever since covid jabs i think i have been on prendnisolone every month this year & feel as if my drs just keep fobbing me off i now feel as if they clear it up only for it to return in a week or two. i have been referred to a supposed specialist in hospital this was just short of a year ago they took x rays then in summer i did breathing tests & i am still waiting on results presently on seretide 500 morning & night 1 shot and ventolin for when needed. does anyone know of anything i could try i have tried nearly everythimg including montelucast - made me worse

Spiriva suits me as an add on.

Alvesco also is good for me as an add on to my fostair.

Have a chat with the asthma UK helpline.

I agree with Homely2 - give the asthma nurses a call on 0300 2225800 or WhatsApp [phone] Monday-Friday 0915-5pm

They can advise on practical ways to approach your doctors too to say you're struggling still.

Worth being aware that what works for someone else may not work for you - it's tricky for anyone here to advise specific treatments. Do you always see the same GPs in the practice - could you try seeing a different one?
