Asthma

[Visitor8]

well living my WHOLE life with ashtma my respiratory specialist called the docs who say nebulisers don't work a pack of idiots

As someone who has used a spacer and a neb my WHOLE life, the neb works better here and noone can fault my spacer use

Even thinking about it, I don't see how 4 puffs through a spacer, when your chest is so tight you CANT get air to the bottom is supposed to be better than 5 minutes prolonged dose which by half way through your chest has opened up substancially and the medication can make it's way to the bottom of the lungs.

I got my neb for $100 so they aren't that expensive if you look around. The spacer cost me $25 and god knows how many times I've lost it.

DH has a nebuliser and uses it when he is really bad and DD also. Just last week they both had a chest infection and our GP put DH straight onto the nebuliser for 10 min. DH would be lost without it.
