As you may recall Myisha spoke with us in season 7 about Crohn's Disease and season 10 about Asthma. We are running this week's episode as a re-run of her asthma interview. Myisha is a passionate dedicated advocate she’s received proclamations from states for recognition of her advocacy and IBD awareness. Besides her challenges with Crohn's, Myisha has a daughter with severe asthma and is here today to discuss her daughters' journey.
Patients with severe asthma use the highest dose of inhaled corticosteroids plus a second controller and/or oral corticosteroids. However, despite using high dose medicines, reducing risks, and following their treatment plan, many times their asthma remains uncontrolled. Severe asthma is categorized into three types: allergic asthma, eosinophilic asthma and non-eosinophilic asthma.
