Alex, I went back thru my past prescriptions and found that I indeed had taken a round of Penni's methylprednisolone, although not in the medpac format that she described. It caused my vision to be a bit blurred because it elevated my blood sugar level up to diabetes level. Apparently steroids' side effects vary from person to person. I agree with your suggestion to be wary. I also use the mite-proof mattress and pillow coverings, but haven't noticed any improvement. So the cause of sleep asthma remains a mystery for me. I'm guessing that it's some sort of chemical change. On December 18, AP had an article about the discovery of a molecule that is involved in causing asthma. There seems to be hope that development of a blocker against the molecule could lead to treatment that would stop asthma at its source instead of treating just symptoms. Sounds hopeful.
