Asthma?

I was very sick a few years ago and it developed into asthma or least brought it out. My weight of course didnt help the asthma. But since losing what i have i havent been having any bouts of hard breathing or losing my breath *nope not even when i walk up stairs now yay*  Or the rattling, tightness in my chest. *other than when i have a cold*

So where i have lost the weight its under control. SOooo i stopped my two inhalers 3 weeks ago, the doctor informs me that i will always have to take my inhalers cause i will always be asthmatic. Ok well i am diabetic too and always will be but i stopped taking all my medications for that and is now diet controlled. So why should i have to still take the inhalers if i have no symptons?

Just wondering if anyone else is asthmatic and their doctor told them the same thing?

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.

I think that is great your breathing better.  I too share this same experience but I am
not asthmatic.  There is prolly a reason why you should still have the inhalers, but
what do I know...  I didnt grow up to be a doctor...bummer!  Back to your breathing better,
What a wonderful feeling that gives us Hope in this process!
