I was diagnosed with chronic asthma a few years ago, but so mild that it's
usually not noticeable and regular use of an inhaler wouldn't be
appropriate. However, it's the likely cause of repeated bouts of acute
bronchitis that follows any cold or hay fever attack. Sometimes, the early
use of a Ventolin inhaler is enough to stem the progression. Other times,
like right now, I have to go on a short course of Prednisone (everyone's
favorite drug).

I put a call in to the doc to see about strategies to prevent these
epidodes, which happen 1-2 times a year. In the meantime, I'm wondering if
anyone else has coped with- and resolved- this problem. I've had instant
relief with an Albuterol nebulizer treatment at the clinic, so I was
thinking about asking the doc about that for home use.

Thanks!
