I'm asthmatic and been on prednisone for 5.5 years. Being healthy is a goal and a big challenge being on prednisone. I'm hoping to use all the resources and support I can! :)

I've got asthma too but it never seems to get in the way as long as I take my albuterol and another preventative (flowvent for now I think?) about 30 min or an hour before I workout.. if I ever forget then it pretty much holds me back on things like my warm up run... but as long as you take them before you go then you shouldn't have much to worry about.. everyone here should be pretty helpful for questions you might have but don't forget to fill out your profile too =)

I am actually more worried about the long term effects of prednisone on my system when trying to "get back into shape". In the 5 weeks I have been going, I can really feel it in my joints ands some muscles...
