Asthma + Parkinson's?

I would like to know how many of you had asthma and used inhalers before you became ill with Parkinson's. Anyone??????

I never needed an inhaler as a child. But I have needed one every time I get a cold (once a year) for several years now since I got PD. I was 59 at the time, and now I'm 74. I have a Deep Brain Stimulator which has helped me a lot.
