Oral steroids, on the other hand, are freaking awful.<br /><br />And yanno, when I was in Denmark and had an accute broncho-spastic attack, they prescribed me my usual thing, even though it was called something different. They have books with all the various brand names listed for different countries. If your doctor got it wrong, it was probably laziness.

They won't give you anything they don't absolutely have to. :-) She did tell me that if my breathing didn't improve in a few days I should go back and get "an inhaler", though.<br /><br />I definitely want to avoid steroids every chance I get. :-) I did wonder if they would try and give them to me but again, they won't give me what they aren't forced to, so I got lucky there.<br />Thanks!

I definitely want to avoid steroids every chance I get. :-) I did wonder if they would try and give them to me but again, they won’t give me what they aren’t forced to, so I got lucky there.
Thanks!

I'm surprised your doc didn't offer a nebulizer treatment while you were at the office. Sometimes they help.<br /><br />But you're lucky no one's pushing prednisone on you. I suggest avoiding steroids if you can.<br /><br />Get better soon! You poor thing! I’m surprised your doc didn’t offer a nebulizer treatment while you were at the office. Sometimes they help.

But you’re lucky no one’s pushing prednisone on you. I suggest avoiding steroids if you can.

Get better soon!
