Severe Asthma

As you may recall Myisha spoke with us in season 7 about Crohns Disease. Myisha is a passionate dedicated advocate she's received proclamations from states for recognition of her advocacy and IBD awareness. Besides her challenges with Crohns, Myisha has a duaghter 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.
