Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 My Doctor pretty much said what Greg did, that my body is going to have to adjust to the pred withdrawel. Also she said that I had 2 choices at this point, to increase the pred to 20mg pre day again, or to try taking Lasix for 5 days as she thinks the withdrawel is causing me to retain water, and that may be causing the symptoms. Then if that doesn't work we may have to up the dose of pred for awhile until the Xolair has more time to work. I'm going to try the Lasix, I really want off the pred as soon as I can, but I want to be able to breathe too. I guess I'll just see what happens. My Doctor didn't seem real concerned at this point about the Albuterol problem and it doesn't worsen my breathing alot, just some and just some times. I read yesterday that if you breathe too deeply when nebbing you can cause bronchiospasms, I wonder if that is what I'm doing. I also had read about sometimes Albuterol could make asthma worse, but my Dr didn't seem to think this was the case. Happy Holidays everyone!!
