I have taken singulair along with flovent so I don't know if it works for me on its own or not.Its makes no difference to me if I stop taking singulair and continue only with flovent.It would be great if Singulair alone would help me control asthma.

I noticed a difference with 7 days of starting flovent.

For me, it takes about an hour before it goes away .I feel extremely jittery during that period.

What kind of exercises that you do help you with asthma?Are there any specific breathing exercises that have helped you? please share.thank you.

Yes, Elevated Liver enzymes can sometimes lead to that kind of itching.Get your blood checked to rule it out.Hope you feel better.
