Long Acting Beta Agonists /Inhaled Steroids - many of us use it daily.
I've an appt tomorrow with the Pulmo Dr. and I plan on asking about this what with all the controversy lately plus with me having lung surgery on top of it I'm quite concerned.
I'll post what he tells me tomorow when I get home.

I will Rose....
Also; apparently with this proceedure, they have to spead your ribs. They remove ribs from what I gather when/if necessary (probably becasue they get broken) ..Stands to reason if one'e bones become more brittle....
Sixteen years Bobbi? Sheesh

No idea what the bones are like but my skin is like paper.
