I’m a lifelong asthmatic as well. For a brief time I was able to get Advair (the purple disk shown above.) I never knew what breathing could be until I started using #advair but unfortunately it’s no longer covered by my insurance. Thankfully Albuterol is still covered. #asthma https://twitter.com/rebekahmckendry/status/1248697139217092608

Albuterol is the rescue medication which is used for attacks whereas Advair is for daily maintenance. The red inhaler is Symbicort which is a fine medication but the inhalers are small so it doesn’t get as much pressure when pumped. Advair’s delivery system has worked best for me

This thread is not an endorsement of any particular products, as every asthmatic has their own breathing experiences. I’m sharing anecdotally what works best for me, while frustrated that the insurance system prevents me from getting my preferences medicine.
