Maybe going through war with this disease is why I agreed so quickly to the biologic! I trust my pulmonary team (Mayo and Atrium in Charlotte) and they both said the biologic is far safer than prednisone. So sorry your lungs are yucky. I never gave breathing a second thought until this year. Turns out a good deep breath is something to be grateful for.
Sending you support as you make your decision (and sending lots of support and empathy as you get off prednisone).

Good afternoon. Just wondering if you’ve had trouble with thrush and if so what did you use to treat it? I can’t tolerate nystatin. I see Diflucan is contraindicated with so many medications, including prednisone and albuterol, both of which I’m still using. I am down to 1 l.25 mg of prednisone daily. This is my first day of that coming down from 2.5 mg daily. I’ve been having to use my albuterol rescue inhaler lately. I am supposed to start generic Symbicort but don’t want to start it until I get the thrush cleared up. I also see Diflucan is contraindicated with Symbicort. Any feed back you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
