    • Close Asthma

      I have had asthma all my life, but was sympton free during my teenage and young adult life. After the birth of my son in 1982, my Asthma came back full force. I am now Steroid Dependent and have all the side affects of being on Steroids. I have been controlling my Asthma for years with medication, but recently had a severe attack and am having difficulty getting back to where I was.
