If you have to use a rescue inhaler (or even have to ponder whether you should use one) every time you run your asthma isn't under control.

I have asthma although I've had no problems for several years. For a while I took Advair and it really wiped out all symptoms for me, but I hate taking medications like that especially when they contain cortico-steroids. I got in much better shape and stopped the meds and still have had no symptoms.

I think physical conditioning really can help ultimately, but you might need better preventive meds now.

One of those things you may want to speak to your doctor about. I also have had to use an inhaler, but my asthma was brought on by allergies, and isn't to the degree that you mention. Just to be on the safe side, speaking to your doc might offer you a few more options....:)

cheers,
Diane
