My SOB was getting worse and I was getting worried. My doc gave me an Albuterol inhaler that did nothing. Then he gave me 20g of oral prednisone. It was like a miracle. I could breath deep and fully and was able to totally forget about breathing. The rx is only for 5 days to see if it works. My last day is tomorrow. I did find a Chinese Medicine herbal mixture that has some good science behind it. They say it works as well as prednisone for breathing with no bad side effects. It's call ASHMI. There are a lot of professional talking about it so I am going to ask my Doc about trying it. I can buy it online already in the formula. Has anyone ever tried this?
