Medical rant!

Ok,

I am a little more than upset....

I was informed last month that my Albuteral inhaler would no longer be as it has always been, aerosol propelled.

Two months ago the brand that was always prescribed for me was now using a pump sprayer. It just did not work. When you are having a difficulty breathing, you really need the aerosol to help send the medication into your lungs.

My pharmicist found another brand, from England that was still aerosol propelled.

Well, last month I was informed that the government had forbidden this medication to be sold in the aerosol dispensor.

I have the new type now and it just doesn't work as well, or barely at all.

All of this because of a "hole in the ozone'??????

Give me a break.

I walk into my local supermarket and find hundreds of cans of hair spray and shaving cream, but an asthmatic cannot get his meds because of the ozone?????

Now I am forced to augment my albuteral with steroids and the dreaded prednisone.

It is just wonderful how THAT stuff puts the weight on you!

Blows your face up etc.

Any one know where I can score my dope in aerosol dispensors????

Ok, end of rant.

Yours, truly and heavier,
