Dobbiamo smetterla di chiamare "investimento" quella che è, a tutti gli effetti, una schiavitù auto-inflitta mascherata da business. Se hai comprato un bilocale per metterlo su Airbnb pensando di aver svoltato, ho una brutta notizia: non sei un investitore, sei l'uomo delle pulizie di te stesso. L'

Hi my friends! I’ve been in this sub for a while, and your support, tips and sense of community have helped me through a lot, so now that I’m in a better spot, I thought I’d help share my experience with anemia, so hopefully you all can get something from it. Last year my body gave up on itself. I

Threads directly comparing LEVALBUTEROL to other medications
Title Pretty much says it. Assuming no system supply issues. Educate me on why giving Levalbuterol would be better, and when. What I've found it they seem to be functionally interchangeable, but studies are not experience. Any reason to get one over the other?
I thought I'd share my experience in case it helps anyone! I've seen a few people asking about timelines so this is just another datapoint (and perhaps some examples of what *not* to do...) **Info:** Late 20s F. Active, healthy except for mild asthma (usually only exercise induced). Recently unemplo
In addition to asthma, I have major nasal allergy issues, such that I experience regular post-nasal discharge most days. I use a nebulizer with budesonide & levalbuterol 2x daily. Often I will cough up some of the nasal stuff, and it tastes or smells kind of like bleach. Anyone else experience t
After a mold exposure (and covid-19 a year before), my lungs have hurt (but no cough) in response to respiratory irritants (cleaning products, fragrances, chlorine) even in very small amounts. By this, I mean imagine taking out a wet wipe and your lungs feel like someone is stabbing you. It's been o
Hey everyone The title kind of explains itself, but I have a question about inhalers. I was taking Albuterol and it *used to* work fine for my asthma. That is, until the symptoms of dysautonomia started. I did have a few years where I stopped using the inhaler all together, so I didn't know about t
I work as a lineman in a communications company, one day while splicing fiber optic cable I had an inguinal hernia happen. At the time, my medications were bystolic, montelukast, a medicine for cholesterol, hydrochlorotiazide and 81mg aspirin, vitamin d and fish oil. I had constantly battled shortne
I never realized till now that levalbuterol is the R-enantiomer and not the S. I always thought the prefix of “lev-“ implied “Levo-“ meaning “left” but just found out that the S-enantiomer of albuterol is essentially inert. Why isn’t it dextralbuterol if it’s the R-enantiomer?
Everything in my nebulizer setup is brand new — compressor, tubing, and PARI cup — but each treatment still takes 20–30 minutes to complete. I’m using Levalbuterol and Ipratropium bromide together (standard doses). The mist starts out steady, but it just keeps going forever until there’s barely any
