I have not had any attacks until just this past summer at age 33. They have become worse since October of '03. Needless to say this put a damper on my cycling and was even difficult to even pick up my son at times as I would be out of breath. After suffering form months and having attacks that lasted for days I decided to see my doctor. She prescribed a inhaled corticosteroid called Flovent. I do 2 puffs in the morning and 2 at night and since starting on this medication have not had on e single attack or sign of bronchial constriction. And feel 100% better. I have also not noticed any side effects and am quite peased with what it is doing even though I am not crazy about being on medication of any kind. While I feel that I have found a 'miracle drug' I wonder what long term effects it might have particularly as an athlete. If anyone in OBRA land has had experience with asthma, Flovent or any other asthma medication I would love to hear your stories.
