The asthma prevention inhaler, IMO, is a vortex that'll suck the patient into greater medical dependency. There must be better solutions. Arsenic never came to mind though. :)
I was on the inhaler for a few years, but was getting worse. Plus, my blood pressure was going up and I was just feeling ill. There were other factors, but I started to see how one medication was leading to another, and I was only about 40.
One day I finally had enough and put all the meds away, keeping only the albuterol. I actually noticed no change right away, but after a few months I basically stopped wheezing. Could the maintenance inhaler actually have been promoting my asthma? I often wonder, and have a cynical enough perspective of big pharma to wonder what goes on behind closed doors in regard to this.
Thanks for the insight.
