Hello Donna,
I have a 9 year old boy suffering from moderate asthma since he was 2 years old. He has dust mite allergy and also sleep apnea in addition. He has been unfortunately on preventer puffer (Flixotide corticosteroid) since he was 3 years old. It has had adverse affects on him being wired and tired, putting on weight at belly region and also the typical “moon face” started to show the last 2 years. His diet has not changed and he moves a lot as a 9 year old boy playing tennis, swimming, sailing etc. His weight is going up each year and he is struggling with it. Sadly our paedetrician doctor cannot advice any alternative to take my son off from the preventer, rather suggesting a diatician but that does not stop the typical corticosteroid symptoms of weight gain and moon face and fatigue and moodiness. I just need an alternative solution once and for all. I want him off from Flixotide!
