A few months ago, I kept tipping over for no apparent reason. Went to the
doctor, and her first question was whether or not these incidents followed
use of my inhaler. Nope. Turns out I had fluid in my ears. From the way
she talked, there was a swimming pool on each side of my head. The point
of that little story is that my doctor's aware of that side-effect.

I'll check these things out with her. My current nebulizer is about the
size of a car battery, and I have good medical coverage. But right now,
I'm paying $15 a pop for 14 prescriptions every month. I'll be glad when I
reach the cap on the co-pays for this year.

>What about Advair or Singulair? Tried either or both?


Advair has been a god-send for me. I've got to wait to refill it until
next Tuesday (see above). Thanks for the tip about Xopenex!

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!

I use bricanyl as a reliever. It always gives me the shakes but no
where like albuterol!

Singulair has been a godsend for me! It takes a little while to build
up in your system but once it does the difference is substantial. My
only complaint is that Singulair is not covered with my drug plan and
that's after my dr sent in a special form. I pay $100 a month for
Singulair but it is well worth it. It keeps me from weekly visits to
emerg, drastically reduces my neb use, and has dramatically improved my
quality of life. It is one great drug!

Hey! You sound like me! I wish my Rx meds would apply to the co-pay,
though.

Aren't they great? With our fire, the Red Cross was there at 2:30 a.m., got
us into the Sleep Inn for five nights and handed us bags with all necessary
toiletries and an authorization slip for necessities. I had lost all my
clothes so that was a godsend. I'll never want to hear anyone fault the Red
Cross again.

That is a new one on me. I will check that out when I see the

It has made a difference to me, that's for sure. This is all
relatively new to me in the last year. How I went through 54 years
with no breathing problems & then got asthma symptoms is weird, I
guess, and it sure has been exciting (like the rush to the ER when I
can't breathe. Boy, I never thought people in the ER could run so
fast. Short of a heart attack, I don't think anything gets you waited
on faster than a barely squeaked out "I can't breathe."

Gotta keep those airways open, or we can't enjoy rfc & playing around
in the kitchen!

LOL! We were very reassured at the Motel Hell when I overestimated the
time it would take to microwave a Pop-Tart. There was smoke billowing out
of the microwave (first and only time that this has ever happened), and it
didn't set off the smoke alarm, which is mounted directly above the oven.
The fun just never ends! Heehee!

If you have a commercial company come to eradicate the smoke odors and
they choose to use an ozone unit, make sure that no living thing remains
in the house while it's being treated. The high ozone levels can kill.

If they still had ice crystals in them, they can be refrozen with no

The drug name for bricanyl is terbutaline, a short-acting beta2-agonist.
I also use symbicort which is anti-inflammatory corticosteroid
budesonide (Pulmicort®) and the rapid- and long-lasting bronchodilator
formoterol (Oxis®) in a single inhaler.

There is nothing like adult onset asthma I was diagnosed almost 8
years ago. Two of those years were pure hell as my then doctor treated
ineffectively and failed to see I was reacting to the propellant in the
inhalers. I finally saw a specialist who changed everything to dry
inhalers. I went through a few different meds before getting stabilized
on the turbuhalers. Finally, Singulair was added

Yup. I was disappointed that one of the women went through and that

2 hours yesterday afternoon, and 3 hours tonight. I think I'm scared to
sleep. Rationally, I know that our home is much safer now, but I'm not
sure the emotional part of me has come to grips with that just yet. Crash
is doing the opposite. He's been awake for about as long as I've been
asleep this week.

I think know who you are thinking of, but why not name names?
Actually, I can never remember half the names of the contestants, but I
know which ones I like. I'm annoyed that the guy who sang "Georgia on
my mind" got kicked off, Grr.

Well, you could start by sleeping when Crash is awake, just so you feel
safer having one person awake while you sleep.
