Would love to hear how USAsthma members plan to address their asthma in 2017. What do you want to improve about your asthma care? What do you want to know from your doctor? Check out the poll on the main USAsthma page for ideas.

I have started immunotherapy ( allergy shots) to see if this helps my Asthma triggers. I also had my doctor prescribe medical grade air purifiers for home and office and my insurance covered it. Also purchased an additive for my laundry called " De Mite" that kills dust mites and purchased a steamer and steam the bedding and cloth materials once a week. Still taking my Flovent but haven't had to use my nebulizer yet, just my rescue inhaler a few times. Doctor thinks I should be able to get off the Flovent by December 2017.
