Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 got a URI several weeks ago and was having trouble kicking it. then I started having pain in my chest when breathing, especially when laying down. Saw my dr - problem was pleurisy related to a non-asthmatic condition that I have had for several years. Went on a burst of pred and it cleared right up after a few days. Bad news is I don't need pred for asthma, but can't do without it. This is a big disappointment because I was hoping to get off it. I think I am going to see about changing my meds to incorporate the use of pred. Since I am stuck with it maybe I don't need some of the other stuff. At least pred is cheap. On the plus side - had snow this weekend and I taught my oldest (6 yr old) how to ski. No asthma symptoms at all. We had a blast. Oh well - better pred than dead.
