I had been suffering from asthma earlier this year, didn't know I had it and every doctor I saw told me I was a hypochondriac or anxious. They did, however, give me a breathing treatment as protocol. It was probably the ONLY thing that saved my life for the 3 months until I got an official diagnosis. <br /><br />I guess even a bad policy can sometimes save a life! :-)CajunGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217333208391330256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-19440966738511869822010-02-16T05:07:59.725-05:002010-02-16T05:07:59.725-05:00Thanks Rick, I didn't mean to be snarky, looki...Thanks Rick, I didn't mean to be snarky, looking back, I was!

As an asthmatic myself, I can't help but to find humor in this. Yes, I probably write about it ad nauseum, but until doctors stop abusing this great medicine, I don't think I can stop myself.Rick Freahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132949384071592216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-70414946448101330972010-02-14T06:21:45.319-05:002010-02-14T06:21:45.319-05:00It's kind of annoying that every 4th post of y...It's kind of annoying that every 4th post of yours is harping on people for using albuterol or taking treatments. Sometimes it's funny, but it's all the time, and here you mention cystic fibrosis. I have CF and yes, we do albuterol nebs along with many others a day, it's not a crime and we aren't stupid, it's got its purposes, maybe YOU should read up more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
