My asthma has gotten worse over the past few years until this year where it seems to be getting better. Also, if your albuterol inhaler expires, it exponentially loses it's effectiveness.
I'm in the same situation. I have EI and cold induced. I never used to ride in the colder months. I started Symbicort recently, and it really seems to be helping. Hopefully when it warms up a bit I'll be able to get off the symbicort and just use albuterol symptomatically.
