Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hello to everyone. I have been reading the posts off and on for weeks now. I have had my blood done once and will have it done again this week. My IGE levels were too low. Go figure. Had taken about 2000 mg of prednisome(over 30 days) about 8 months before the blood work. Perhaps that caused some issues. I am taking symbicort 160, spiriva and currently xyponex for asthma flare up. I live near Phoenix and their is a LOT of dirt in the air here. My ability to go outside has just faded away. I wear a mask to go to the grocery store. I just wondered if anyone else has problems with air quality. I'm sure there is pollution, ozone and other things in the air also! I now lead a " bubble person " lifestyle - gardening, golf, camping, bike riding all gone. My doctor thinks this will help me, but would love to hear from someone with these same issues that has been helped. Hope is a wonderful thing!! Thanks, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Marilyn > Only air quality I am having is the humidity. It's strange that cgarette smoke didn't bother me last week but humidity does.
