Let's see -- teenager, lots of energy, smart, and dealing with non-traditional identity issues. Angry all the time -- you do realize that could just have been related to factors other than inhaled corticosteroids, I'm sure!
I routinely take inhaled steroids for asthma -- I had exercise induced asthma for years and years -- 10 minutes into a run, bike or swim, I'd have horrible hacking, coughing and wheezing. But I could just run through it and then be fine. Unfortunately, in the last dozen years, that's turned into full bore asthma.
The good news is, they've gotten much smarter about inhaled steroids -- they really don't produce a systemic effect in the same way they used to, and I'm fine with those. But the 50mg Prednisone pills are the pits.
