asthma, maintenance
"I have been an asthmatic for most of my life (I am now 38 yrs old) and have tried many medications.  Before I lost my insurance I was on singulair and claritin and still struggling.  Several times I woke up gasping for air.  So when I was able to get insurance again I requested to try something else since I was hesitant to say the least in taking singulair again.  My Dr. suggested I try Dulera and Flonase.  Since starting these medications I have not needed my albuterol inhaler once and its been about a month.  I went from using my inhaler sometimes several times a day to not at all.  My mom has osteoporosis (excuse the spelling) and that concerns me for my own health but my breathing is ultimately more important."
