yes i do.samoth said:Albuterol.
I don't like the preventitives, but they do seem to work well for many people.
I'm assuming you have allergy-induced asthma?

Any idea what it is that triggers it? I used to suffer really badly from hayfever (tree pollen as opposed to flowers) but once I learnt to control this I had my asthma under control too. How often do you wash the stuff on your bed? Do you leave windows open in your house at all? Any pets?
If you find it gets bad at night, you can get special pillows specifically for asthma sufferers that don't trap all dust and stuff as much.

Then follow GD's advice in your other thread.
When I was young, I wasn't allowed to be outside after dusk due to asthma. My parents always kept the windows in the house closed, and my mother completely cleaned (including the walls) my bedroom at least once a week. I had it pretty bad when I was young. We had to give away my dog, too, lol.
Really watch your environmental factors.
I don't know if they still do it, but when I was young, I got some pin-prick test done to see what all I was allergic to. It was like a paint roller covered in little pins, each with a different allergen (cat har, dog hair, pollen, dust, et cetera) and the doctor rolled the thing straight down my back. It was actually kinda interesting, lol.

Holy crap my allergies have kicked in high gear today. Started the past two weeks or so, the worst being today. I'm sneezing every 10 minutes it seems, eyes are itchy and watery like a busted dam, and my nose is like a waterfall gone wild. Funny because I never had it this bad before this early.

I've got asthma however I have it under control. It is triggered by various types of allergens. I'm on Advair 50/500, Cingulair, Zyrtec and Albuterol. This fucking sucks. I have to take them otherwise I may be exposed and have an attack.

I ceased the Advair due to not really noticing it doing much (asthma's gotten much better since early youth)... that, and I'm used to sucking on albuterol like candy at times, so... lol
As I've come to find out from my physicians and surgeons, the steroidal part of Advair can cause a number of side effects as well as interactions with other drugs, of which I was completely unaware when first prescribed some years back. Not that it matters unless your on a cornucopia of drugs like I presently am, but worth knowing if you were not informed by your physician.
I've never used Cingulair or Zyrtec. Might look into those. Usually, for me, my daily ephedrine HCl intake and sporatic use of albuterol works just fine.
