Well gang, I now have larengitis and brohchitis. It is effecting my

asthma too. My family doc gave me some amoxicillin and Zyrtec-D. I

REFUSE repeat REFUSE to take ANY pred. NO, NADA, ZIP AND ZILCH!!!!!

In my neb, I am mixing pulmicort with the Xopenex and generic

Atrovent 4 times a day. This is the closest to ANY steroid I am going

go get!!!!!

I was told when when I diagnosed as Type II Diabetic last September

that steroids and pred cause HIGH blood sugar levels and diabetes

with extended use.
