your resource for asthma and allergies!
Do you want to be free of your asthma and allergy symptoms? Do you hate asthma and allergy drug side effects?
could it-
-stunt your growth
(im a good 7-8" shorter than my sister, was at my age, and i was told i am not supposed to grow anymore- im 5′ 1")
-make your bones brittle
(when i run my ankle bones slam together, my knees hurt all the time, my back is always in alot of pain)
-cause you to have the shakes
(when i was little when i took my treatments, afterwards i would have the shakes or shivers, call it what you like- i know its said that if you have a sugar deficiency, but i can promise you i consume enough sugar- lol, but now i have the shakes but i have not taken treatments in yrs.)
i sound complainy i know but im worried please help thanks
i have taken steroids, for years in my childhood but i am in high school now, so idk if that would affect me now. i would love to talk to a doctor about it, but my mom refuses to take me to a doctor, like last week i asked her if i could get my teeth cleaned (bc i just got my braces off in may, and i havent had them cleaned in close to 2 yrs.) and she liked freaked out on my saying that i just love thinking of things to make her do
If you’ve taken steroids (either oral, like prednisone or inhaled, like Advair, Flovent or Beclomethasone), it can cause you to become Calcium deficient, which can lead to brittle bones later in life. However, this probably isn’t what’s causing your joint pain now.
Many people shake after an albuterol treatment, but the shaking goes away within an hour or so…your current shaking is definitely not from the treatment you had as a kid.
Your symptoms sound unrelated to your asthma treatment, but definitely worth talking about with your doctor.
Good luck.

No. I did the same from the time I was two to the time I was fourteen and it had no effect on my health besides the obvious helping me breath better. Albuterol will cause the jitters because it is a type of temporary steroid. Don’t worry about it. Your asthma treatment has nothing to do with your concerns. I woud reccomend taking other factors into consideration, primarily your diet. Make sure you get enough iron and calcium.

The only thing that I think is true is the shakes. But that is only temporary.
I get the shakes whenever I take my medicine, but it goes. I’m short, but so were both of my biological parents, and neither of them had asthma. And for the brittle bones, I’ve never heard of it, and have never experienced it.
But you should ask your doctor if you want a better-explained answer.
Hope I helped.
