I hope they do put asmanex with serevent. I don't react well to flovent at all.

I tried the 50/100 advair once. It caused a spasm. Pulmicort is pretty much

ineffective. The best bet for me might be to get serevent from Mexico(I live

only a few hours away). I doubt that they'll take Serevent off their market.

I'll bet the asmanex folks get with the serevent folks and they have

a combo drug on the market within the year.

You may want to talk to your doc about taking advair 50/100 PLUS

asthmanex. When I'm in an episode, I take advair 50/500 (even more

steroid) plus astmanex, so Advair 50/100 plus asmanex might be a good

option for you after you can't get serevent any more. Serevent is

the LABA in Advair (the " 50 " ).

exactly. they think they are the only ones with the bucks, the intelligence,

and the what ever. if i wear well and single, i would not even date those guys.

thanks to 5 locsl lung doctors and their pooh-poohing this glaring infection

untreated for 3 years, all i ever do is neb, check blood sugars as a result of

evil candy use for 3 years, and go around gasping like a fish. the i d doctor

said to lighten up on those docs and i said never.

sometimes reminds me a bit too much of too many docs I really have

known. And, they seemed to think that every patient has the same level

of ignorance!
