I looked for a forum for auto-immune problems. I have been to several pulmonary doctors with my breathing problems. I have allergies. I have what appears to be severe asthma. The ONLY thing that rescues my breathing is Prednisone. I have tried approximately 15-20 other meds and I am currently on
Asmanex, Fexofenadine, Quinine Sulphate (cramps from Prednisone), Omnihist II
LA, Astelin Spray, Nasonex, Rhinocort Aqua, Xopenex, Albuterol Sulphates for the nebulizer, and a few others I can't remember. But you get the idea.
ONLY Prednisone rescues me. After many, hospital tests they explained it to me, in layman's terms I guess, that my auto-immune system is rejecting the air around me, so they put me on Prednisone for short periods of time..like a week or ten days. Prednisone is a bad medication to be on, but as the dr. said, the side effect of not breathing is _____??
By the way, after taking 40mg of Prednisone the first day and 20mg a day for a week, I feel like I could throw away the other meds.
Too bad Prednisone is so bad for us.
Has anyone else been told this? I would like to think I am not the only person with this malady.
