Alternatives to inhaled steroids

I have adult onset asthma and forgot to pack my maintenance inhaler (Trelegy) for a long trip over Christmas. After a week without it I was fine and I haven’t taken it in two months (still doing well). So I’d also say maybe. My pulmo has suggested stopping the Trelegy on occasion just to see what my baseline symptoms are. My annual appointment is soon and will see what he says.

I also chose to stop taking Trelegy in 12/2024; had no symptoms for 3 years. Have continued with a pulmonologist. No adverse effects so far. In case symptoms developed he prescribed levalbuterol tartrate 45. I have always disliked winter weather despite living in Arizona desert. Love heat. Have replaced my primary provider of 4 years, with good results. Trelegy side effects include cataract surgery needed. Have ongoing care with cardiologist. Will wait and see.
