I have severe asthma and copd. I am suffering with alot of back pain, no sleep, and can't breathe even with the breathing treatments. I get tired of taking prednisone and breathing treatments and it seems like I get no comfort. Does any one know of any certain medicines that are helping them. I am 41 years old and am recently disabled. I can't even walk a few feet I am out of breathe. Another thing is I have maintained a pretty decent weight for the past 14 years, until I started taking alot of the asthma treatments. The weight seems to affect my breathing now. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for reading my complaints over and over.
