Just got back from the pulmonologist - Asthma check..

[bleedingheart]

I always leave with more meds.

Went in to the office on a steady diet of Singulair and Advair.

Now...I am on Flovent and Spiriva in addition to the others on a daily basis and I have to go get another baseline chest x-ray and a pulmonary function test.

The doc heard a definite wheeze on a forced exhale which while not severe is probably why I have had so many downturns and not enough upturns...each time I have a sinus problem it just aggravates me further...

1. I'm on QVar, Atrovent and Albuterol

When the pollen isn't conspiring against me as it has been lately, I can blow 750 on my peak flow meter, which blows the pulmnologist's mind (I used to sing).

2. Do your meds make you sick?

I have been so nauseous lately since starting the Spiriva...

3. No. I'm Lucky

Especially considering I take about 15 Rxs daily.

4. That's A Drag!

I'm only on Singulair, and have the albuterol inhaler just in case. But, since i went on Singulair back in last September, i think i've only used the inhaler about 3 times. No side effects that i notice. Considering myself fortunate. Take care.
