And yeah, i do not blame you for that! I would probably do the same thing as you if I had serious side effects too. We have been through enough lol. At least with the Montelukast, that will give you more asthma protection; and its NOT a steroid too, so you should definitely be fine
I am not sure if you use a nebulizer too, but that works way better than an inhaler- it takes a long time but its worth it!
If you do not mind me asking, what side effects did you have in the past???
I have not used nebulizer yet. Will definitely consider Montelukast .
yes ofcourse ! I was given steroids when ever I was in flare initially. my UC became steroid dependent so whenever I would taper and go below 5 mg my UC symptoms would come back. So was on them on and off for 10 years. That caused severe osteoporosis and avascular necrosis in my right hip , left knee , left wrist , left ankle and right knee. Now have bulging disc in neck and my right wrist is heading to the same fate 😐.
i had to do hip and knee replacements and have joint pain due to avn .i regret taking steroids looking back but didn't know any better
