Mold is a pretty common allergen, and there tend to be mold spores

anywhere there's enough moisture to sustain them, including damp air.

Some of us do better breathing dry air; you might try a dehumdifier.

My triggers are fragances, cleaning solvents,temperature extremes, dust,

aerobic activity and laughing. Other than that, I'm fine.

Any food/drinks with Tartrazine. This is a yellow food color, mostly

found in chips, crackers, candies (even in chocolate drinks). Read the

labels carefully.

Some years back I read about a kid whose asthma was triggered by a

yellow dye (Tartrazine?) so badly that the yellow-colored tablets he

took for asthma set him off. The article didn't mention which

tablets he was using, but at that time I'm guessing it was probably

Primatene. Something to think about...

I've never seen the Primatine tablets. When I was a kid I was on (I can't

spell it, but it sounds like Slofllyn...lol. This was circa 1976) they were

purple and white capsules. My triggers are cold air, heavy perfumes,

cigarette smoke, mold, bleach, dust mites, feathers, and pine sap, among

others.

Tablets are out there. Each Primatene tablet contains ephedrine

hydrochloride USP and guaifenesin USP " expectorant " , 200 mg.

They don't have the epinephrine that the MDI has but still a strong

alpha and beta stimulants. They too can make your heart rate just

up. More so then current asthma medications.

Thanks for mentioning that as my husband has been allergic to tartrazine in the past.  Didn't realize it was in all those things.BarbBAny food/drinks with Tartrazine. This is a yellow food color, mostlyfound in chips, crackers, candies (even in chocolate drinks). Read thelabels carefully.

Slofllyn...That could be theophylline. They used to use that in the

70s and 80s. It's pretty much outdated now, possible because there

isn't a valid patent on it anymore...

I am also one of those patients who still use theophylline SR (capsule

form) - I take 200mg every 8 hours (at one point in the many years I've

had asthma, I took a total of 1200mg daily to keep my blood levels in

the desired range.) I've been diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive

Asthma. It started off at age 6 months (I'm 60 now) as asthmatic

bronchitis and over the years has slowly developed to being chronic. I

also use Pulmicort (2 puffs twice a day) and after trying several

inhaled bronchodilators (Serevent being one) I've finally had some luck

with Spiriva.

, I just recently started taking spiriva as well. It has only been a couple of weeks but I think I like it better than the inhaled nebulizer medication I was taking before. How long have you been taking spiriva ?

No problem with it, someone just stated they thought it was an old

Hi Tammy,

I've been using Spiriva since August 2004. It really seems to help -

especially in my walking program. Hope it helps you as well!

Thank you ! I am glad it is working for you... what were you using before? Are you using Advair also? Sorry so many questions... Thanks, Tammy wrote: Hi Tammy,I've been using Spiriva since August 2004. It really seems to help - especially in my walking program. Hope it helps you as well!> How

Tammy,

Before Spiriva, I had been using Serevent and Flovent (separate

inhalers since Advair wasn't available at that time.) Flovent never

agreed with my lungs and I had repeated bouts of bronchitis until I was

switched to Pulmicort. I was doing well on the Serevent and Pulmicort

until Serevent was switched to a powdered version. My breathing

gradually got worse, so I was switched to Spiriva. Advair (when it

became available) was never an option since Flovent is part of it.

Oops, that was me. I thought theophylline was one of the older

remedies, like tea and ephedra, that acted as a general stimulant

and was therefore not favored so much anymore. Is that wrong?

-Theophylline changed my life and Advair made it even better.

My doctor did mention that it has gone out of favor but that he has

seen great results and it has helped him tremendously with his own

asthma.

I used theophylline at one time, too, and was very impressed with

how well it worked, altho it rather gave me insomnia.
