"Got influenza type A about 7 weeks ago. I started wheezing a few days into it, went to the hospital, and they did typical asthma protocol, and nothing worked. I had never had an asthma flare-up before getting the flu, though I was considered to have 'mild' asthma. I was admitted to the hospital. They could not stop my wheezing. I got in to see a pulmonologist who said the 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 60 mg 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 7 p.m. 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 formoterol. 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."
