My asthma seems different...

[Guest guest]

Mine is every day and chronic. For some reason, rescue inhalers do not

work for me. I have no choice but to use a nebulizer. My asthma is

not severe, I just can't breathe very deep and if I don't neb, it get

does get severe.

I have a daily ritual:

I Neb first thing in the morning with a mixture of xopenex, atrovent

and pulmicort. When it wears off 4 to 5 hours later, I neb again and

again adding up to about 4 to 5 times a day. I use Advair 500/50 in

the mornings and evenings. It is so strange that hardly ever I am

awakened at night with asthma.

I don't consider having an attack until my nebs stop working, then,

its a call to the doctors office.

I also have 1/4 of my left lung that did not develop properly when I

was a child. It shows up on an x ray like nothing is there.

Is anyone else like this?
