Speaking as someone who used to be dependent on medications like Albuterol, Advair, Pulmicort, and Symbicort ever since his prepubescent years-- my asthma only got better when I forced myself to stop using my medications. I would only allow myself to use my meds if my episodes were sufficiently severe, otherwise I would push through the discomfort until the airways reopened naturally. I did this for several weeks and gradually my need for the meds went completely away. When I was using the meds I used to have asthma episodes multiple times every day, and now I only have minor episodes once every few weeks which I'm able to recover from without meds. I am currently in the process of cutting out my topical steroids for my eczema as well. In my lived experience of these drugs, steroid dependency is absolutely a real phenomenon.
The information that comes with my asthma steroids says differently. It states that use of their medication can actually increase my chance of getting pneumonia.
@@bonkahermitakaintjudge9228 Yes I just discovered something Bonka, in the steroid I use Beclosomenate ( Brown inhaler ) All these inhalers and vaccines have deadly ingredients. I don’t listen to doctors or MD’s because they all lie. To be fair, most doctors don’t have a clue what is in the medicines they prescribe! It comes up on their computer screen and bingo were the 🥼 🐀🐀.. But MD’s do... So we have asthma, lol are given something to control it! But ah don’t worry it’ll only probably kill you slowly 😳😳 I’m going to find out the ingredients exactly inside my inhalers, and if I come across any metals, or any of death ☠️ they put into meds. I’ll sue they’re a$$...
I wish you would’ve mentioned something about people with asthma that may be taking the wrong amount. Too much or too frequent. Especially because they’re mostly self administering.
USA now taking Canada’s med supply. I was just told I can only get my monthly inhalers once every 3 months. I will have to abandon my twice a day prevention. ERs up here are refusing asthma patients as non emergent!
Inhaled steroids can cause Glaucoma I know because I have been diagnosed and one of the things that the eye specialist asked me is have I ever used steroids and Glaucoma is just one of the side effects of inhaled steroids
True. I was on Advair but the jerks priced it so high my insurance wouldn't cover it any more. Like $5 00 to $600 an inhaler. I got the only available steroid I could get for Athsma which was BREO Elipta. WIthing the time of starting it until like 6 months ago I started getting light flares at night while dealing with headlights and street lights. then it got to the point where I was having trouble reading... One of the things my I doc asked was about the Athsma Steroids, and then he proceded to tell me that they can cause cataracts which I have now in both eyes, My eyes were fine before Breo. they weren't perfect but within a year BREO jacked up my eyes and I had to get surgery on one of my eyes and the onther one will probably need it too. Makes me very angry. Especially when all you want is to breathe and then you get these pharmacutical crap drugs that just mess something else upi. ugh
Inhaled Steriods may not be deterimental for short term but I’ve taken them for 40 years since age 5 and I had yes stunted in height when my siblings were tall, weightgain gain, eye issues with fat deposits. I was having increased joint pain and diabetic symptoms but my markers were normal. I have since weaned myself off then and my asthma comes maybe once every few months in a manageable way sometimes when I’ve over exerted or abit stressed. I know my body enough to focus on my breathing and rest for abit but I’ve never felt better if my inhalers than I do now. I was ready to do this as my asthma has been managed for decades
If possible you should try to find out about what causes the Inflamation in the first place, ie food, environment, pollution maybe you can adjust your lifestyle by avoiding some foods or chemicals eg Sodium Nitrate etc.
Hi dr, I have a question that may seem a bit strange, but if you can just provide me with an answer I would really appreciate it. If someone takes prednisone lower than 0.50 mg like for example 0.30 mg a day, will this cause serious side effects in the long run?
So lately i am using seretide inhaler and only when i feel my chest getting tighter so i was wondering will it leads to weight gain? Because i use it daily can anyone guide me???
@@jcb4415 I've just gone carnivore and my acid reflux disappeared , my asthma improved a lot . I've done it before but lapsed and my acid reflux came back . This time I'm going to stick to it for longer. I came onto this video because I've heard there's a link to cataracts and anti inflammatory drugs although I haven't found any proof yet
I just began the use of my first dulera inhaler since I was 7 years old and only took oral medication and I am wondering if I should keep using my inhaler until finish or discontinue after feeling better. I’ve had lots of shortness of breath lately after never requiring any asthma medications since my childhood. I am now 44 years young. If anyone has information I’d gladly like to hear. Thanks!!!!!
What suggestions do you have for me, others when we're having difficulty breathing. I have done my homework. And for me, there's no alternative that helps. I'm 67 years old and still doing well with my steroids. But, hey, love to hear of anything better.
Thanks Dave...i just started a control inhaler and was extremely concerned about the long term implications of using drugs like these....this was extremely helpful....thank you
I see the comment down below about the steroids. It is true steroids only cause me more pain then good. I suffer from Costochondritis inflammation of the ribs. This condition causes pain when I'm on any type of steroid. Including steroid inhalers. As a result I'm off the Asthma meds. There has to be something I can take to treat my lungs. I'm resistant for any type of meds for Asthma as well. Asthma treatments don't help either I just remain in inflammation most of the time.
My brothers both had asthma. They had routine steroid shots and inhalers. They built muscle faster than me and became two times my size and the size of any member of our family throughout history. I grew up thinking there was something wrong with me. It was just yesterday when I connected the dots.
@@P.M.B. hello, I was on it hard for a solid year. Now I still try and go fruit and salad until 4 ocklock. Best thing I have ever done for myself. Took myself off of 30 years of steroid and rescue inhalers. Also cleared up eczema. Our bodies really get overloaded with heavy food and pharmaceuticals.
@@P.M.B. right now I eat grapes or oranges in the morning, a salad for lunch. I put tomatoes, heart of palm, avocado, peas, and sliced pickles on it. I may eat shrimp or fish for dinner now. When I was doing the diet more strict I ate as much fruit as possible, salad and veggies. I liked speghetti squash and sweet potatoes. I would cheat sometimes and eat corn chips and salsa. Maybe eat fish twice a month. It can be tough but eventually you will see benefits. Cheese and milk are terrible for lungs

Is my cortisone sprayer for allergic asthma considered a steroid too?
Don’t they divert amino acids and turn them into glucose? As a body builder this is very concerning
What about the prevalence of upper respiratory tract infections re occurring due to inhaled corticosteroids… this happens often to me personally

Does Symbicort cause nutrient or vitamin depletion in the body?

That sucks Im sorry to hear. That's awesome you were able to wean yourself off the drugs

Wait so if there is no dependency then keep taking it? Seems circular. I'm trying to lower my dose.
Thank you for the explanation. If 2 times a day for the ICS, is it 12 hrs apart?
Yes that's what my doc said
So, do I still count as natty?
So lately i am using seretide inhaler and only when i feel my chest getting tighter so i was wondering will it leads to weight gain? Because i use it daily can anyone guide me???
I worry why reflux has to do with breathing problems
I suffer from chronic reflux and i have asthma is there any recommendations??

Memo: Children who use the sprayer might not grow as tall (1cm shorter)

Everyone is a so called an expert and I don't believe any of them.

I always lift weights after using it, just in case it helps
😂
Memo: they recommend to take the sprayer even when no symptoms are present...
Can Asthma Inhaler decrease sexual power..?

I think so from personal experince
Sorry inhaled steriods do cause anxiety and depression and effect adrenal function

Doctor, what about decrease in testosterone and less bones mass caused by Alvesco after 11 years of taking it? ( in age between 24 and 35 )
thanks
Beautifully explained
A good antiinflammatory medicine should work good in asthma... if cortico steroids are basically antiinflammatory medicines... !..
I developed severe anxiety from advair hfa
I have been diagnosed with glaucoma
Same
My brothers both had asthma. They had routine steroid shots and inhalers. They built muscle faster than me and became two times my size and the size of any member of our family throughout history.
