Hi irene5,
Getting off the steroid inhaler, do you replace it with something else? I do use steroid inhalers quite often.
You are absolutely right, the "why" questions get us nowhere most of the time. I grew up in China, all my siblings and my 100 year old mother are still living there, even though they come to the states often for a visit. You all heard about the bad air pollution in China in the past. I remember there was an article in the Economic magazine talking about how bad the air was. It was like smoking 400 cigarettes a day. Guess what? None of them have lung conditions. Here I am, living in the United States for 40 years, religiously exercising for over 30 years---hiking, swimming, yoga, taichi, pilate ... and eating right. I also do forest bathing. Where can I find the answer for that?
I am so glad and grateful for this community, people like you so generously sharing their experiences.
Thank you and take care!
