The post is already off my news reader and I don’t specifically remember the details. Nor am I sufficiently interested to look it up on Google. I’m sure the full statement was much longer than the five words you have quoted and I’m sure it is out of context since I would agree that needing albuterol only twice weekly reflects adequate control. Perhaps this selective and misrepresented quote reflects that I was right, whatever it was that I was referring to. — CBI, MD

Hmmm. Takena while thinkg about this, but can you clarify why you say this, since even my doctor is satisfied that needing 2 puffs of ventolin, twice a week, is acceptable, but not fully stable, control of my asthma. — Paul Cummins – Always a Nethead | /" ASCII RIBBON Wasting bandwidth since 1981 + / CAMPAIGN Tel: 07021 117179 Fax: 07092 105150 | X AGAINST HTML MAIL

My guess is that you won’t be getting many answers from the doctors in this group. Larry

OK, success. I went to the Chest Clinic today, and was taken off Ventolin and Becotide, ‘permanently’ The Chest Clinic specialist listened to my feelings and concerns, and my comments about Ventide, and decided to try me on Symbicort for control and Bricanyl for relief. The Symbicort is 2 ‘puffs’ twice a day, as against 2 puffs 4 times a day with Becotide, IOW, i can take it as a get up and as I go to bed, and just carry a single inhaler during the day, which suits me down to the ground Bricanyl seems to give me relief of an attack far quicker than Ventolin ever did, and I didn’t have any issue with Dry Powder delivery systems, so I’m a lot happier. Thanks to all for their advice. — Paul Cummins – Always a Nethead | /" ASCII RIBBON Wasting bandwidth since 1981 + / CAMPAIGN Tel: 07021 117179 Fax: 07092 105150 | X AGAINST HTML MAIL

Very good reply as I think this is the case with most doctors. Will be interesting to see the reply.

Even doctors are not supposed to doctor themselves. It is considered unwise. I don’t think you should expect to fare better. If you don’t think your doctor listens to you and consequently you refuse to listen to her then the best bet is to find one you do respect; not to try to figure it out yourself with the aid of a few anonymous people on usenet. — CBI, MD

IOW, I know my doctor and I don’t see eye-to-eye and I have challenged her judgement, so what do I say to the second doctor to make him/her see my viewpoint? For the record, being given a drug that causes me asthma attacks is no longer an option. Becotide has been worsening my asthma when taken as a single, non-combined dose. My doctor won’t even discuss Flixotide as an alternative. — Paul Cummins DD (ULC) – Thanks to TCA | /" ASCII RIBBON Tel: 07021 117179 Fax: 07092 105150 + / CAMPAIGN Email: paul(at)cummins.ie.eu.org | X AGAINST HTML MAIL UCE not welcome,
