Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I do have a nebulizer now but that was only after going to the ER and they asked me if my doc gave me one that was the first i had heard of having my own. So i went to my doctor and asked for one she did give me a script. and i got one 100% free. But it seemes that every time i go to this doc i just leave with more scripts, she is script happy. I went to this doc a while ago for a note for work i was actualy fine but i plaid hooky and needed a note. I left that day with 4 perscriptions. As for the last post i am only 22 and on all of that medicaation. Which reminds me i am also suppost to be on singulair, and Adderal as needed. sorry for being so long i just dont feel that i have anyone else to talk to about this stuff as my mom just thinks it is crazy that i have all of these health problems and that i am turning into a pill poper, my purse is so big because i have to carry all of my meds and inhaler and i always keep sanitizer and tissue on me. so i am turning into a walking pharmacy. Thanks for all of the help and support. G. > > > > You know, the side effect of NOT taking your meds could be that you > end up DEAD.?
