Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hello group, I am catching up on my e mail. This post got me curious. I was interested in the 90% more medication when a chamber is used. I use proventil and have not had to rinse and spit after use. Do you have to have a prescription for thechamber. Do you think there is one to fit Proventil? Hicando --------- Introduction Part 2 This seems like a caring group.Today a guy told me I should hold my albuterol and Symbicort about aninch away from my mouth, compress the unit, and breathe in. He saidyou get more of the medicine this way. What do yall think?Last night an amazing thing happened.When the temps are between 65 and 75, my house's internal temperaturehardly changes. It can hang somewhere for hours. So the fan doesn'tcome on. I've learned that fan really helps circulate the air.Last night I decided to open the window to hopefully get a littlecirculation. It was softly raining here in Georgia and I didn't knowhow it would affect me but figured I already felt bad enough so itcouldn't help. (Reading this group a little showed me I am in a verylucky stage of the disease.) I woke up after four hours and I feltgreat! It was the first time in a month I could breathe in and outwith no trouble. I could take a deep breath and let it out withoutcoughing. I as amazed. But it was very short lived. I got up to gowhere you go in the middle of the night when you get up and was windedafter about five steps.When I got back to the bed and laid down I immediately started havingtrouble. Most of it this time was above my chin whereas I'vegenerally been more distressed below my chin since I got whatever Igot. My sinuses just clogged up. Everytime I'd sit up I'd feelbetter. Lay back down and it's like my whole head is stuffed withcotton. I never did get back to sleep.Today turned out to be a rough day overall. It was great from about3:00 - 3:10 this morning but that's all. I hate the come and go ofthis disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I believe this is different depending on what state or country you are in. They do help getting more medication in to the lungs where it belongs. You do not have to rinse after using proventil just the inhaled steroids. > > Hello group, > I am catching up on my e mail. > This post got me curious.
