Another childhood asthmatic here. If you go to the doctor, ask for a steroid inhaler too. I use one only when I start getting signs of a cold, and it helps stop the process and massively decrease the albuterol I use. It means I can sleep at night now which is frankly amazing after years sitting up coughing.
Oh yeah, I got a prescription for a steroid inhaler but at the time, my insurance didn’t cover it so it was literally 75% of my monthly income for a single month’s supply. So actually, my dad, whose medication is covered, changed inhalers, and gave me his old ones because he knew I couldn’t get my own. So I do have a small supply of the maintenance inhalers, and i try to remember to take them for the weeks leading up to, and through, cold season, but of course I’ve forgotten until now. I’m managing to remember one dose a day, out of the two it recommends, lately, so there’s that. Here’s hoping it keeps me from the dreaded 50+ Days Of Coughing of years gone by…
I wonder if my current insurance would cover my own inhalers. These are expired, now that I look at them. But they’re the same ones I would have been prescribed, at least, so. (I did check.)
I will probably ask for another rescue inhaler, as I’ve run out of those. (Those were only $100, under my then-shit insurance! Ugh.) I don’t like what albuterol does to my literal-everything (i get high blood pressure headaches, weird dreams, and my heart pounds), but I do like breathing, a lot.
