Big Ma,
You have every reason to be frustrated! Often,drs, have "ego fits" where they think they are more able to "cure" a patient that their collegues. We pay for their ignorance. Not always, but it does happen. I have had some battles in the last few years myself. Why is it that when they don't have an answer or don't want to deal with it; it's always in our heads? I would like for them to experience one full asthma attack- start to finish: hospial,labs,pred,side effects,etc. from inside my "head"! You are in my prayers and I'm sending you hugs. (and your drs, a big raspberry) Keep us informed.
