"I got influenza-type A about 7 weeks ago. I started wheezing a few days into it, went to hospital & they did typical asthma protical and nothing worked. I had never had an asthma flare up before getting the flu, tho I was considered to have "mild" asthma. I was admitted to hospital. They could not stop my wheezing. I got in to see a pulminologist who said flu damaged my lung tissue. I was unable to do inhalers because of the severity of my condition. She put me on nebulized perforomist as well as nebulized pulmicort every 12 hrs. This is basically the nebulized version of Symbicort. Within just over 24 hrs my lungs were calm and quiet - it was great. I was also on 60mg pred that I was able to taper down once on this combination."

"I started using Foradil after trying several of the other inhalers including Symbicort. It was amazing how quickly and long-lasting it worked. And I had NO SIDE EFFECTS....drowsiness, jitters, brain fog, or excessive phlegm. With the others, I would have to take it at 7p in order to wake up in the morning without the groggy/foggy medicine head. Please figure out a way to bring this back. It really works the best."

"No other inhaler works as well as formotrol. Need to bring back the Foradil dry powder inhaler. It was amazing how well I could function. Using a nebulizer is difficult when you are employed"
