But damn, prednisone is my favorite drug.

Fortunately the inhaled sorts are not so bad.

Haven't been admitted to the hospital for a long, long time.

was the prescription for my cat some years ago. My asthma is "mild" enough that I've never had a hospital visit (that's reserved for the few times I've had kidney stones.)

The drugs for me, though, have always been Albuterol, and now Symbicort. The Symbicort has the advantage of spreading out my use of the Albuterol so I actually use less of both

And that reminds me; I need to take my dose for the day...

It's more under control now with the e-cig and the Dulera, but damn do I ever miss being able to smoke sometimes!
