Ok so I devoloped severe asthma bout 2 years ago. In that time i lost my job,girlfriend,and place to live. im 29 now but i used to work (masonary) played basketball very active. Now if i dont take the oral steroids at least every other day i cant make it to the bathroom without taking a albuterol treatment! I did the allergy tests said i was allergic to pet dander, trees mold and other things. I dont have any other symtoms other than cant breath right without steroids. Nothin my allergy Dr has done has helped me besides the steady dose of steroids. I have read some of the affects of oral steroid use over yrs of taking it and gettin kind of worried.Now the doc wants me to get thermoplasty (Ithink its called) done where i guess they burn open ur airwave. Just would like to hear im not only 1 dealing with this mystery come out of nowhere life changing breathing problem. Or if anybody can help and should i try to get the surgery?View Thread
