Ventoline and Atrovent evohalers

Ok new trial 2 vento puffs  plus 2 atrovent puffs when I feel tight..see if that helps.😊 He is definitely against nebs, said it has been proven they have no added effects than inhalers and the aerochamber. 🙄 All that to avoid oral steroids in view of eye, bone, skin problems 😢

I hate plane pollen!! City streets are full of them. Hated birch too😂

Will keep to flowers!!! 🌷🌺🌸🌻and Art!!!

Oh dear - I'm sorry life is such a pig at the moment. I assume you are taking the atrovent to prevent attacks, so it's a bit odd to be told to just take it as & when.  Do anti-histamines help at all with the pollen? So much treatment is on a trial and error basis but it can't be helped.

Long term steroids come with too many side effects so no wonder he wants you to avoid them.

Best of luck!

Thanks Chrissie I had the Atrovent in nebs before.. No antihistamines I took for years it dries me out to much already I have this Sorgren problem. Pollen and stress.. Taking of Dad is a pain, he gets agressive when things don't go his way, he's 87..tomorrow 11 he's transferred to that facility we'll see!!!

I do hope you get Dad sorted out and get some peace. You have my sympathy. I think you need peace of mind to feel better physically as well as mentally, so gentle and quiet thoughts winging their way to you. :)
