Sandy, I am pasting a link here about Oxygen Bars. If it doesn't come through, go to wikipedia and search for Oxygen Bars. Or use any search engine. I use DuckDuckGo as it is not supposed to track your searches like google does, not that I have anything to hide, I just think whatever I am interested in is nobody's business for commercial use as you know they use that info to market you. I don't want to be marketed. It is frustrating because I don't have any money either. It makes me grumpy to be marketed so much and commercials are the main reason I don't watch TV nowadays. And I do use an ad blocker for the internet, too.
I dunno whether these places to socialize also serve alcoholic beverages along with scented oxygen but seems to me it would up the revenue expoentially. Oh hey, didn't I read once that oxygen helps one sober up. Dynamite combination to serve them both if the intent is to get plastered. I'd buy stock in that.
Don, sorry to hear you are under the weather. What a way to start out the new year. When we went to visit my cousin on NYE, his wife had sniffles. Come to think of it, so did he. Said it was blocked sinuses, but she was sneezing and he wasn't. Hope I haven't been doomed. Dunno whether they know about my copd. I don't advertise.
Sandy, so very happy for you that you are feeling better today. Thank you for the compliment. I am a fellow sufferer with the same diagnosis, chronic bronchitis with an asthma component and I think they said some emphysema too. Hyperinflation, scarring, etc. I was first prescribed Advair back around 15 years ago but it was a lighter version than I use now and came in a spray inhaler. Now it is the 250/50 round lilac/purple thing with 60 powdered doses. You need a bit of lung power to draw it all out. This is not a form of med where you could use a spacer to help make sure you get the full dose like I could the spray version. Before you invest in Advair from overseas, it might be a good idea to ask your Dr. if there is any reason why you shouldn't take it, like perhaps you are already getting steroids in another medication.
When I first started using Advair was when I first noticed getting muscle cramps and spasms. I was taking it as prescribed at 2 doses a day, 12 hours apart. Because I got so spastic, I cut the dose back to one per day. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all medication doses because a 300 lb man gets the same prescription as me at less than half his weight.
Yes, I began drawing ss at 62 also and as prices go up every day, I have to pull some from my retirement savings which kills me to do so I continue to struggle to live within my means on principle. I am a one-earner household.
No Medicare Part D either. I was told I could get more help if I didn't have it and this has turned out to be very true. I suppose it helps to live in a rural area with a lot of other poor people and we have a wonderful clinic here. Three months of Advair costs me less than a good meal in a decent restaurant. You might also apply with the drug manufacturer. Lots of them have programs to help afford your meds and I got my Spiriva Respimat through the mail at no cost. I didn't apply this year because just like the Advair, I only take half the dose as Spiriva tends to affect my eyesight so I still have about a year's worth of meds here.
I didn't mean to get so verbose today. Sorry for running on so long. Seems that lately socializing with other people has kinda brought me out of my shell, so to speak. Thank you for listening.
