explain this to me, nathan.
i am an asthmatic who has been symptom-free for years. THEN my old inhaler gets replaced with proair (which is about as effective as breathing in dried turd dust) and all of a sudden i am sick. my asthma is worse than ever, i am having heart palpitations to the point that i think i might be having a heart attack, and i am only 35 and in perfect health.
i call my dr, she switches me to ventolin (which does NOT contain ethanol, and i am IMMEDIATELY cured.) hmmm, coincidence?
