Today, however, both Advair and Symbicort are small, compact and simple to use.  Not only that, but you only have to take one puff before you brush your teeth in the morning, and one puff when you brush your teeth before bed.  It's that easy. 

 

Now, you add those four together and you get a well controlled gallant asthmatic who needs his albuterol rescue inhaler only occasionally, is able to avoid emergency rooms, and rarely if ever needs to be admitted.

 

There you have it:  That's why I never got to know any asthmatic kids the way RTs got to know me when I was a child asthmatic.  It's good news.
