Solving the inhaler problem!

6 Replies

Saw the asthma nurse yesterday and she has changed my prescription so that I get 4 inhalers a month, This means that I can change weekly instead of trying to guess when it is running out. She has also reassured me about the high dosage. I need this at present because of my complex condition. I cant use the accuhalers as I need to use a spacer. Thanks again to all of you who offered advice. It really helps to know that others out there have the same difficulties. Keep positive and have a good day.

Hi Darth, I'm glad you got this problem sorted out. You obviously have complex problems and you are being well looked after by your asthma nurse, and, have found a way to sort out the amount of medication left in your inhaler. Take care. hugs xx

I have a tiny set of jewellers scales and weigh my inhalers.

I weigh each type of inhaler one just once, then again when they are empty, works a treat and I never run out.
