What to do if i have had asthma my whole life (i am 46) and i took very poor care of myself using rescue inhalers 6-8 times?

6-8 times a day?: If this is what you mean you are not being controlled. Rescue inhalers are exactly that- for a rescue. I would first get tested by your physician to determine any damage from long term lack of control. Then follow his/her recommendations regarding treatment. The proper control can reduce lung damage. Good Luck
