Hi! I wanted to alert any asthma sufferers to a medicine that has changed my life.

I have had asthma since I was born and have been taking the medications since I could swallow a pill. Over the last 10 years I have been an Inhaler addict. Meaning that if I forgot my inhaler, just the thought of being without it, I would have an attack. Over the last 6 months, I have been taking a new inhaler called Advair. It is the best thing I have ever tried. I wanted to tell anyone interested because it has changed my ability to ride my bike, hike, walk the dogs, gardening ect. I rarely take my "rescue inhaler" at all. When riding my bike I feel free again, no need to stop and take the inhaler.

If you have asthma and your interested check out this link:

Of course you have to go to the doctor to get the prescription.
And to let you know, I am not a rep for a pharmaceutical company. I wish I was, I think they get paid better than I do.... Just wanted to let you all know about the greatest asthma medicine I have used in my 28 years. They should pay me for a commercial!!!:D

Ride On!!!!

I have asthma problems in cold weather and have had great success with Advair too.

I also have Asthma and have problems with serious exertion in the cold...not that we have that much of it in SouthEast Texas. Two years ago had a breath test that showed I was only breathing at 53% of lung capacity. Allergist also gave me Advair and encouraged much riding. Huge difference!
