I'm guessing that when you say you're taking steroids, you mean orally? Because inhaled steroids are the treatment of choice for most people with asthma. It sounds to me like you need to consult with your doctor and get on a new updated treatment plan that will work better for you.
Please call your doctor as soon as possible to get this started, OK?
