to add on to that i have had asthma for my whole life and i want you to know i know where you are coming from



the main reason they ask you about your acid reflux is because of the prednisone it can cause some serious side-effects in your GI tract it did for me at, least and if you are having heartburn or acid reflux you might want to talk to your doc about a taper.



and if your IgE lvls ever go to the right lvl you seriously should consider the xolair shots it was only like 1% of the study group that developed anaphylaxis it is well worth the risk i am on it now and if you cant afford it genentech the co-creator of xolair has a program that can help you with the cost



hope this helps
