You could both be right in a way. You could be having an asthmatic reaction to your bronchitis. Is the brown inhaler Beclazone? If so, its most likely a preventative. Take the blue one before the brown one as the blue one (Ventolin I presume?) will open the airwaves allowing the brown one to be more effective. Also keep on taking the brown one for a while even if your breathing returns to normal. I have been on a sharp, late-learning curve with Asthma because my little foster son has it.:)

And you have to see the Asthma Nurse? Oh lovely, just what you need. Another medical appointment:sad:

Christine, if you can REMEMBER to use your new inhaler, you a better person than me! :rotfl:

I am fabulous about pills and injections, but my asthma preventer is another story.

I once hung it by a string from the shower head so it would hit me on the head every time I had a shower (then I figured I'd use it once a day) - well I just got used to being hit on the head, and STILL didn't use it.

I don't know why I am so hopeless, I know when I have episodes of more severe asthma I am fabulous with it, but as soon as my asthma settles well I just plain forget.

Bad raglet!

hope you feel better soon,
