Beyond the Inhaler

Severe asthma has a population the inhalers never rescued — the prednisone-cycling, ER-familiar few — and biologics found them: injections targeting the specific inflammation their airways run on.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe phenotyping — eosinophils counted, allergies mapped — and the injection that followed: attacks spacing from monthly to memory, oral steroids tapered off with their moon-face and bone toll, stairs and winters and cats renegotiated. Writers include the drug that fizzled and the switch that worked, injection-day rituals and self-administration graduations, costs and access, and the identity shift of a person no longer organised around their next attack.

Who it's for

For anyone with severe asthma being worked up for biologics, tapering steroids at last, or living the strange spaciousness of controlled disease.
