Good news then glynis..so sorry....didn't realise you'd been in hospital with your asthma. Very unusual to have to do slow reduction with rescue steroids anyway.

Great they've put you on 6 monthly reviews.

That is so good to hear Glynis! You have worked hard and been patient to get here. xx

So glad the appointment went well and ur severe asthma is now stable without the need of a nebuliser ..

Goodness....didn't know you had severe asthma Glynis?

Yes dont need a nebuliser as my easyhaler 200 works great for me as a neb when need to multi dose 10 puffs 4 hourly.

think we need to define what severe asthma is here, as it seems to cover a multitude of levels.
