RA and post-infectious Asthma (hard word to type!)

Hi - I developed 'post-infectious asthma' last spring, and have been on Advair twice a day since. Actually, I only used it once a day after the first week - until about a month later, when my doctor had assured me that "If it helps, use it twice a day."

Fun in the sun?

So, I'm a newbie here...and just really need to vent. I love going to the beach...it's been my "zen" place since I moved to NC 11 years ago. However, I had a different experience this year.
