For Asthma, Maintenance "I had been wheezing for a while, went to the ER, was treated for an upper respiratory infection. About a month later, wheezing started again. My doctor sent me to an asthma specialist who put me on Albuterol, but later I had to be taken off. I've been through so much in the last year. One of my doctors put me on Flovent about two weeks ago. I couldn't sleep for wheezing and coughing. After a couple of days on Flovent, I noticed I wasn't coughing or wheezing anymore. I feel a lot better. I think it's because of the carpet in my apartment, so did my doctor."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I have been having a rough few months with my asthma, needing my rescue inhaler 6+ times a day. I gave in to taking a steroid asthma medication. The 2nd day after I started this, my lungs started burning, and I started coughing hard like I have bronchitis. The 3rd day, it was worse. I stopped taking it, and after 2 days off, I am feeling better. One of the side effects is causing an upper respiratory infection, well, that happened rather quickly for me."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Have had asthma all my life. Asthma specialist had me on Qvar and felt great. Insurance stopped paying and was put on Flovent. Lungs went downhill in a week. Sore chest, wheezing, coughing on and off all day, and throat was sore, lung function test way down. A year later, insurance changed and I was put back on Qvar. Symptoms are gone and lung function is up and almost normal!! Thank God!"
