I have had asthma since I was 1 year old. I am now 71 years old.
I have been on medication since I was a child. firstly with a pseudoepherdrine/chloroform mixture, then in my late teens salbutamol. Both these were for acute attacks.
In my twenties I was put on Intal and remained on that until in my sixties I developed COPD. I was then put on Symbicort. This has been a revelation, it have kept me active.
I play golf twice weekly, I go to the gym three times a week for an hour at a time, I am working in my garden usually two or three times a week (even in Winter) and best of all I have enough puff to play games with my grandchildren.
There is no way that I would be capable of doing all that with Symbicort.
