Evening all ...... After a recent visit to my consultant my  spirometory results had a fev1 of 70% despite being on a daily maintenance of 20mg pred I assume these results would be far worse if taken without oral steroids ? 

I've had a diagnoses of bronchiectasis and what my consultant is calling refractory asthma. The respitory team there are in discussion as to wether to start omazumalab as I'm border allergic asthmatic !! 

Should find out this coming August ....... After repeated infections and generally feeling unwell for a good two years I'm hoping this treatment will work for me !??
