"Pulmicort." I haven't heard of it. Is it a pill form?

It is a dry powder inhaler that delivers budesonide, a high-potency corticosteroid that has shown to be a powerful inhibitor of airway inflammation. It is $$$. Must be used every day and not for acute attacks.

You do not have "adult-onset" asthma but an extrinsic asthma brought on by the cats allergens. I cannot get rid of my daughter's cat so i will suffer for a few more years (the cat always finds its way back to the house...>1 mile and counting).

If you can get rid of the cat your asthma should go away.

Don't have a cat, never did and am never around them. As far as the oak, it's the trees not the wooden furniture.

Yes, Pulmicort is very pricey but it's worth every penny.

Did you mean to post this to me?  I don't have asthma but I do have a cat. :)
