Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Actually Symbicort and Advair are both much less dangerous than risking a major attack without any controller meds. I have taken Symbicort for the last 2 years and I wouldn't go without it.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I can't remember the last time I used my nebulizer.  I have been on Symbicort for over a year and I do swear by it.  I also take Albuterol pills x's a day.  Of course not everyone is the same.   Cheryl Burton                    ncicheryl@...               To: asthma Sent: Sun, February 28, 2010 1:47:21 PMSubject: Re: Symbicort Dora  Actually Symbicort and Advair are both much less dangerous than risking a major attack without any controller meds. I have taken Symbicort for the last 2 years and I wouldn't go without it.   Madeline http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ Lungs_on_ Vacation/ From: Dora <tiggernut24@ yahoo.com>To: asthmayahoogroups (DOT) comSent: Sun, February 28, 2010 9:23:45 AMSubject: Re: Nebulizer Keep in mind that symbicort adn advair are irritating and increase your chances of dying of an asthma attack.  If you need a nebulizer I question the value of taking a chance like that.   Yours,Dora Austin, TXtiggernut24@ yahoo.com  Re: info - Thanks, Dora.
