Unfortunately it got to be too spendy (advair is working well though). I am glad you found something that works!

YES! I do too

.

Singulair seems to work for me (but I can't take it while breastfeeding because they aren't sure if it transfers to the baby or not), but I use the inhaler as a back up emergency thing. Since I don't use it all the time I fill my Rx monthly and horde my inhalers like crazy (they last forever and even when they are expired, they still work but I need 2 puffs instead of 1).

Symbicort is great! I think Singulair only works for a small handful of people.

Curious, when you did Advair, did you do the diskus or the HFA? Some people don't tolerate the diskus well and therefore don't have good response to it. I tend to like the HFA. And I personally think everyone should use a spacer for their inhalers.

My asthma was under control for six year. SIX YEARS without an attack. I've needed my inhaler almost daily for the past six months. WTF.

What are you all using your inhalers for!? /sarcasm

Fucking asshole, I hadn't even used it yet. As you all are my people, I feel you understand my frustration here
