Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic
I think here the problem is steroid dependence than asthma
Sure, you will have to be on some steroids
But inhalational steroids is also effective..

You cannot stop oral steroid(betnesol) all of a sudden.
Your body is used to steroids from outside,hence when you stop betnesol enough amount of steroids won't be produced in the body.Hence we will have to stop it gradually..

Longterm steroid therapy can make you Cushingoid (excess of steroids)

Hence it is better to consult an Endocrinologist and he can help you....
I find this answer helpful
