Does this include all methods of steroid delivery; inhaler, pill and injection? There is a variety of inhaler medication that may help you (not all with steroids). I had debilitating SOB that come on strong back in Nov/Dec. it has gradually improved.

I take Nucala for eosinophilic asthma...it works for me. My blood test showed fluctuating eosinophils and as they would rise...asthma worsened...finally all steroids stopped working ... Nucala works. (so far) I have been on a year and a half.

I found that montekulast made me very ill. Had to stop taking it and still struggling with how it has affected me. When I get down and negative and worried about it all I also go to a site where I pray for others and post so that people pray for me, it costs nothing and does not take up much time. accuratepsychicreadingsonli.... Sometimes we need uplifting emotionally and mentally as well as help physically. It now seems that I have vasculitis and am struggling with that too, waiting to speak to a specialist and of course it is all held up with this lockdown situation. When I was struggling to breath and was referred to a chest person it took them eight months to follow up the letter. Hopefully this won't take so long.
