Oh my gosh, I missed Carol's reply. I thought I was strange for
hoarding inhalers. I use the dry turbohalers and I do have bricanyl in
every room! I can't take any drugs that make me drousey like Benadryl
because I have brittle asthma. My neb is always ready to go for that
reason. I really feel for Carol as I know what she is going through.
Hang tough Carol and I hope you have no complications!
