I have had a bad case of asthma since Christmas.  I don't know why I
didn't recognize it as asthma, just thought I had a cough.  Went to
doctor.  She prescribed a short burst of prednisone and getting a
nebulizer.  I did and it didn't help much in two weeks.  Finally, she
prescribed more albuteral sulfate for my nebulizer and a long
prescription of prednisone, a six-week taper this time.  I think I am
finally getting a hold on it.  I still cough but not as much.

I am having  a hard time coming up with things to eat.  I think I will
make a large batch of pancake batter so all I have to do is fry up
some pancakes when I HAVE to eat with the prednisone.

I also use saline solution and two "puffers."

Wish me luck.
