I hope you are well!! Big hugs, Teri :)

wow...I never would have thought.  One phrase got me..."using it [inhaler] to increase alertness or get high."  Ummm...I hate to use my inhaler!  I makes me all jittery.  My pf was down this morning so I've already had to use four puffs...my hands are shaking like mad!  I just don't understand using it to get high. 

Hey,

If you hadn't asked me today, I couldn't have told you really how mine is prescribed...I always loose the boxes.  I got another refill today to keep at school so I can type what's on the label.  :)

2 puffs four times daily as needed.  Use 2 to 6 puffs every 3 to 4 hours as needed in addition if no relief.

I can tell you I've done that and a bit more today.  I am NOT having a good asthma day.  My pf has been down...Heat is one of my triggers and the kids got to participate in a 2 hour Panthers' Junior Training Camp (football - Carolina Panthers).  Was outside all that time...since it's been such a bad asthma day I got a script for prednisone and started that.  I'm just gonna take it easy tonight.

Lil, I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time with this darned asthma! That is a lot, but if you had a nebulizer, that's in there, too. :) I am glad you have that Prednisone for a back up!!

The Carolina Panther outing sounds like a lot of fun for the kids! (and maybe? for the teacher's, too?)

Hugs, Teri :)

Hope you feel better soon!!

Oh my a ruptured disc! ... Yes that can be VERY painful! Hope everything works out with that!

I am back in school.. my last 6 months. I am very scared as I have atleast one anaphylactic reaction that puts me into anaphylatic shock, once a semester. Would be nice to gradulate! haha!! (i had to take a 4 month break at the end of junior semester, due to 3 anaphylactic reactions in a 5 week period)

Everything is going well! :D

Have a great weekend!!

Hey,

Breathing?  Important?  Heck, I'm addicted to it!  I feel like I'll die if I ever stop.
