Red Alert ozone days....

Yikes that does not sound good.
I will keep my fingers crossed and hope you get some good riding conditions soon.

Hi Donna:

I'm sorry to hear about your asthma -- I hear you loud & clear!

I'm not an experienced cyclist, just a beginner -- but, I've had asthma for 27 years.
What medications do you take?
I'm on Advair 250/50 twice/daily and if needed (when I'm symptomatic), I use my rescue inhalor - Ventolin, up to 12 puffs/day. <<that's only when things are wicked bad--sometimes with 5 days of prednisone!!

Right now, I'm doing well with my advair (provided I don't miss any days), and before hiking, walking, biking, I take two puffs of ventolin.
I always take the ventolin with me b/c I sometimes need more during whatever activity it is I'm doing.

I was recently put on Singulair 2 months ago, which I find extremely helpful with my asthma & allergies (both indoor & outdoor)!!

Like you, I get out there when the weather is best for me!!

Take good care!

Denise

Hi Denise,

I use Singulair and Maxair inhaler as needed. My asthma doctor tried me on Advair but it actually made things worse for me.

I only seem to have problems when it's hot like this. And around ragweed and perfumes. I have to be careful walking through department stores.

Hopefully we will get a cool down soon and some rain. We are desperate for rain!!

Hi, actually I really like cycling, but as am asthmatic, I was having breathing problems with the lack of oxygen..lack of blood circulation, and since then, I took on VENTOLIN ( you can find about it COMPLETELY on the following link):

And guess wot: it's utterly helpful. As a drug, it worked miracles for me, and I had no necessity to quit cycling. Thanks, Ventolin. And good luck you all!
