your inhaler is good for a year, so long as there's something in it. shake it - does it feel like something's rattling around in there? then it's good.

are you dealing with bronchitis, asthma, allergies? do you know?

sympathies on the steroids - I had to take Advair once for a severe asthma attack and I *hated* it.

if it's asthma - you can bump your inhaler up to every 3 hours to get you thru the worse of it... my daughter and I both have asthma, can you tell?

wah! sending you virtual soup and tea...
