Hi everyone,its a delight 2 be on this profile.

it was outta sheer curiosity and desperation,that i decided 2 search on the internet for a space that deals with the issues of Asthma.

yes! I am a chronic asthma sufferer,that has been neglected by my Dr's!

Im a mature woman,who was diagnosed with asthma about one year ago. And since that diagnosis,my asthma has progressively got worse,and so has the service of my Dr's.

Despite alerting the GP 2 the fact that my asthma has worsened,they have not been proactive in relevant treatment.

Ive been prescribed "Salabutamol"," Fostair".

But,i use Salabutamol alot more than the Fostair.

In fact,i run out of it after two weeks!

I know,thats complete over-use. (only meant 2 use every 28 days) Nope! thats NOT ME! Lol

Im a fiend for the blue inhaler.

Now,at present,im without the Salabutamol blue inhaler,and i dont know what 2 do,as Dr's has refused 2 issue me with another inhaler.

Can anybody relate,help,in any way?

Im best friends with the emergency Services,due 2 the fact ive called them 16 times from April 2 May of this year.

But,it looks like,i may have 2 again!

HELP!
