Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I was under the impression that this therapy could take up to a year to have any major effect. Much like the allergy shots that people take. I was also told that it was incredibly expensive, like $12,000 a year. And that it was doubtful insurance companies would pay for it, since it was considered sort of " experimental " .

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Hi Jeanne! >I see my asthma Dr. every 3 months >and I always ask him when I can quit.I'm sure all of us do This is the problem with this Asthma medicines I think. we are not able to attack the core of the problem. even steroid really does nothing.probably we have to look for something which modifies the disease or gives the complete cure.preventer is something really useless I think and this symptomatic medicines really does nothing.but sometimes when you change a place or suddenly you become somuch happy or due to some reason sometimes people gets cure temporarily I think.I hope suddenly some miracle happens in your life and your next visit, your short,bony,egoistic doctor says that you do not need anymore drug.well for me,I dont believe in miracles,atleast I know its never going to happen in my life but it doesnt mean that it wont happen in others life.let me try singulair.be well! Many Greetings, Senthil Kumar.S. ps : Infact this line made me to feel so much " I always ask him when I can quit " ! I am not mentioning about medicines though and ofcourse not life but something else,even I dont know, I think I have to quit something,what is that? anyway thanks for making me more confuse! > > > > > anybody here tried singulair + advair cobmination. > > how does it go?
