Forgot to take my steroid inhaler this morning. Any day now, they're going to come and take away my grown-up papers.

Please! Like you're the only person ever to forget to take your maintenance medications. You should see some of the "grown-ups" coming into my store.

Hey, I left mine at home as well... do we get nap time again if they take the papers away?

Uh-oh. I left my albuterol inhaler at home today, and I'm supposed to be taking it to recover from this lung infection. :) There go my papers too, I guess!


....wait, why did I want to be an adult again, anyway?

Oh. Well, that's a relief, then.

I think the problem is it's not in the bathroom with all the other drugs (humidity, doncha know). I remembered it today though!

[electricland.livejournal.com]

oh please yes... that would be so nice...

I'm never sure. I always assumed it would just happen, and yet I keep having to work at it! I am displeased.

Yeah, I keep waiting for the Adulthood Fairy, too!

Good for you as it was pretty sticky today. Though, you shouldn't really keep any medication in the bathroom as the heat and humidity will damage them over time.

Hmmph. I reserve the right to keep my blister-packed drugs anywhere I want! (Well, maybe not on the surface of the sun. But you know what I mean.)

Also? I loooove my steroid inhaler. (Pulmicort, for the record.) I may have mentioned this once or twice, but it never gets old. My lungs are so. much. happier. I'm aware that there's smog, I can taste it, but my chest isn't tight! Miracle!

I also had the impression up at the cottage (aka the Noxious Pesthole) that my allergies weren't acting up as much as they did pre-inhaler, although of course that could be more to do with the end of tree pollen season.

I wouldn't dream of telling you what to do. :) I only provide advice.

A blister pack is not completely moisture-proof so the damage still happens but at a much slower rate. If you use your meds up in a month or two, they should be fine. In any case, leaving your medication in your bathroom cabinet also leaves you more prone to dropping tablets and the like in the wet sink or the toilet and ruining them. I've seen this happen far too often to my clients.

[mr-weasel.livejournal.com]

Pulmicort will reduce your reaction to allergens too.

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I wondered if that might be the case. If I were to hazard a shot in the dark, I would bet the words "circulating IgE" appear somewhere in the explanation. ;)

anyway, yay for it!

*cough* well, um, yes. there is that. not that I PERSONALLY would know anything about this, oh dear me no.
