Hi, @scy, and welcome to Connect. I noticed you said you just cannot take prednisone though you know it would stop your nagging cough. Before I was on a biologic, when I would travel, especially, I would often go into an asthmatic flare with a lot of coughing, which is my main asthma symptom. The only thing that would calm things down is taking a 5-day course of prednisone.

Why is it that you cannot take prednisone? Have you had trouble with this medication or tapering after finishing a course of it?
