help me find my asthma inhaler

http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/img/casthmap.jpg

Mine is hidden in my pillowcase so my puppy won't eat it. I'm concerned though: he saw me put it away this morning and got a reflective look in his shiny blackcurrant eye.

probably i will dream it is in ned's hat pocket

they will possibly feed into my head by interwebby microwave magic

OK then, where did you last have it?

That hedgehog is surreal.

(PS: it is under a pile of dirty towels in the bathroom. I put it there. Sorry.)

rainy was right, it was in my medicine cabinet after all!! in its blue box, that's why i didn't spot it

rainy is short for brainy

sorry, got this asthma inhaler in my eye.

I have done this two or three times - it was my doctor who told me about it.

£6.50 = prescription cost anyway so no prob there

i'm not actually all wheezy at all, just botherd that i may become so when i don't have an inhaler

It is a bit more expensive, as you prob get a couple of inhalers at a time on one prescription for £6.50 (or has it just gone up? I think it's about seven quid now), whereas this will be about £6 or so for just one. They varied in cost between the different pharmacies - I think Boots was cheapest :)

Isn't that always the way, though? If you have one, you won't need it. Having that blue inhaler is like having a comfort blanket!

COVID advice for those with asthma seems to be: take yr inhaler with you just in case

asthma doesn't put me more at risk of infection i don't think but if i *do* get infected then i'm in a worse pickle than i wd be if i didn't have asthma

(current answer to thread question = it's in the usual place on the kitchen shelf)

I’m very cavalier about my inhaler but I have started taking it out with me just in case, although the expiration date on it says 2018 so who knows if it’ll do me much good

i took a puff from an old fostair i found in a cupboard a while back and it tasted VERY weird so some of them definitely do undergo chemical change

That was an air wick

I have been stock piling rescue inhalers for other people (because I don't need them often but I get one every month for almost pennies when I get the steroid disc thing) because I have been traumatized by how expensive they are in the US. I kind of just give them out to whoever needs one now (within reason).

I keep one by my bed, one in my purse and one near my rower now.

asthma-haver over here, assuming if i get this it'll be a fuckin wild ride, but i have a pretty recently updated inhaler thankfully

do you need any extra? next time i am in nyc (i have no clue when that will be now, it was supposed to be next month) I can give you a couple.

i don’t think so at the moment, i just got this inhaler when i got sick last month and there’s plenty left, but thank you!

Came here to answer “did you check the fridge” since that’s often where I absent-mindlessly put things.

the new pink ones (fostair) yr actually meant to keep in the fridge, at least till you crack em open and start using them

i've used expired albuterol before, even a few years after. it is significantly better than not using albuterol

yeah, I have used expired ones too. When i was between health insurance and I was getting annoyed because wheezing was keeping me up at night during allergy season, a friend gave me her son's expired ones. It was totally fine. They kind of don't have that long of a manufacture to expiration date range. I was just looking at the boxes I do have right now.

albuterol is the blue one as per the OP (salbutamol or ventolin in the UK) and i don't think it significantly degrades at all

but fostair (which is a combo inhaler, declometasone dipropionate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) really does change taste in a nasty way

i was so used to calling it only albuterol, I was trying to get one in France because I knew they are like 5 euro there and pharmacies are accommodating to tourists that need a one off. It actually took a while for the pharmacist and I to agree on Ventoline.

I'm semi-considering getting a home nebuliser, as an inhaler and preventer are not really doing the job for me in this cold weather. I've been wheezing for the last few days, and worse when lying down - so also a bit sleep deprived.

But not bad enough to consider a hospital visit..-

just discovered bono's son elijah's dublin rockband is called INHALER

this has put me in a bad temper (i haven't heard their top-selling debut LP)

it's like a name that would have been rejected by a c-tier sports metal band in the early 2000s

on behalf of this thread i'm calling it cultural appropriation

now listening to INHALER's debut on spotify, like driving past bono's london pad and angrily hurling a 1p coin at its fancy door

the julian lennon of nothing at all

now I just want to know if Shane MacGowan also has a kid with a band. Especially if he cosplays like a pisshead tramp and the band does a mix of vapourwave/landfill!

i'd like to be able to take a robustly challopsy line on the unexpected excellence of the pampered musical progeny of the major stars but they keep pulling stuff like this!

(there must be a thread about this for me to stink up)

I think an example of this sometimes being a good thing was when Ornette Coleman put his 10 year old kid on drums.

lol yes

and called it ornette at 12 even tho denardo was ten iirc

inhaler would be a suitably bad name for a weezer tribute band

part of the problem is that i have like one working bulb in my entire flat

^^^this is also true again right now, i shd fix it probably

In electrician circles if you call a lamp a "bulb" you get frowned at and people question your professionalism. It's taken me 10 years of not being one to finally accept "bulb" so I'll let you off this time!

I was picturing mark s waiting 18 years or so until the last bulb had blown before bothering to replace them all.

there's a hardware-and-cheap-tat shop on at the near end of the mare street narrow way where for ages the shelf with all the er lightbulbs on was indicated by a handwritten cardboard sign that simply read BLUB

luna schlosser correct obviously, thats just how i roll
