I am a male 73 years old.  When I was a child to adulthood, I suffered from
Asthma. Lately, my Doctor
said I now have some symptoms of it again. He prescribed Combivent inhaler.
These types of medications were not available to me in the1930's and 1940's.

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation on how to find a good doctor.  I
live in Atlanta, GA US.  Haven't been able to find anyone good just going
through my insurance provider.
Can't seem to get my asthma managed well and am thinking a good doc would be

I am very curious to learn if a condition that I have experienced for years
would "technically" be considered as asthma (as per the proper "definition"
of asthma, whatever that is!)....
I am a white male in my 30's, and have suffered from moderate to severe

As an Italian immigrant in Canada I have noticed weird things happening to
Canadian patients as a result of the reject of traditional methods
implemented by Italian doctors. Now I am proposing an Italy-to-Canada
comparison when this could easily be a european-to-western comparison ...

I have a tendency to slight bronchial wheezing when I have a cold but
have only ever suffered asthma attacks when visiting my mother's 300
yr old cottage in the south of England. I am aware that I'm allergic
to house dust but my mum's house can't be any dustier than mine(!?)

Considering both Ventolin and Proventil are both albuterol - any difference
between the two?  How about the generics?

I'm a runner with exercise-induced asthma.  My coach suggested that a
technique that works for some people like me is to warm up very strenuously
before a race.  Almost to the point of bringing on an attack.  Then, after
breathing returns to normal, there is supposed to be some ...

It says on my asthma medication info. sheet: "WARNING: Ratio Salmeterol
may be associated with rare serious asthma attacks (potentialy fatal).
Some patients prescribed salmeterol when their asthma is worsening may
have an increase ricks of this event."

Anyone hear that Serevent may be removed from the market?

I was wondering if anyone has problems with laryngitis after using Serevent or
Azmacort.  I have sporadic problems with asthma, and it seems that I lose my

My wife has asthma and it is apparently aggravated by allergies to various
things. She quit a job recently in a clothing store because she became so
sick (probably due to either the textile dust or to the kinds of chemicals
they use in preparing such clothing for retail display) ...

I am having quite a bit of hoarseness lately, and wondering if it could be
due to using ADVAIR.  I started ADVAIR about six weeks ago, and it does seem
that my voice problem started about then.   I did a google search and found
a few references that suggest some people have ...

Is it normal/recommended to increase steroid, bronchodilator, or both when
one has a cold or other illness that affects the lungs?  I keep Advair in
500/50, 250/50, and 100/50 doses around here.  My normal is 250/50 in the

I decided to subscribe to this group to find more information, and possibly
support.
We are in the process of gaining custody of my stepson.  He has asthma, and
his mother has been a complicating influence in his life.  Along with the
