March Research Update: Asthma and COPD Treatments, COVID-19 Vaccination During Pregnancy, CSU
MG Covid vaccines have caused countless deaths and disabilities. Pregnancies have been lost because of them. The vaccine manufacturers and the governmental agencies do not want to reveal those outcomes, so people will not know the truth. They want people to continue taking the poison from the pharmaceutical companies. Profit is what matters; not people. [ more ]

Drug Makers to Reduce Cost of Asthma Inhalers
Arle Last year I had to switch from Symbicort to Advair discus because my monthly copay for Symbicort had risen to almost $400, and my plan didn’t cover the generic. Advair generic was more affordable, about $200 monthly, but still expensive and beyond my means, so I started to get it not through my health insurance but through a drug discount plan that gets its meds from out of the country and takes about a month to get to me, but costs $125 for a three month supply. It’s been tough, so hearing... [ more ]

Why Am I Waking Up Congested?
Zulema C. @Mary MM medicine can be so expensive sometimes (especially if your insurance won't cover it). There are different programs that may offer financial assistance for asthma medicines. You can find more information, here: Drug Assistance Programs . We also have a blog with helpful tips: What to Do If You Can't Afford Your Asthma Medicines . There's also the United Way (dial 2-1-1) hotline that I like to share. You can speak with a navigator who can connect you to local resources. There may be... [ more ]
Mary MM @Candy, I'm similar to you with the Flovent & voice at least from year round allergies. PND 24 hrs. a day with mild sore throat. Nothing changes either. It's frustrating not sounding like yourself when you talk, but that's better than when it coats your vocal cords & words won't come out at all. I've had both for about 3 yrs. now; the Dr. doesn't know anything to help. She says all looks well, so just stay hydrated & gargle w/ saltwater 2-3 times a day. As far as the Flovent,... [ more ]
Candy J I also have this. It’s not my asthma as it’s well controlled with Flovent. At least now since I can’t get it anymore. I’ve had this since August of 2022 when I had covid and a very bad cold. Then two rounds of a bronchitis like thing but worse than that. It’s affected my voice as well. I’ve seen an ENT who prescribed antibiotics due to sinus issues which helped a little. And Neilmed nasal irritation. But I’m still back to nasal and throat issues. And I can’t get my normal voice back. It’s... [ more ]

Drug Manufacturer Announces Asthma Inhaler Price Cap
Zulema C. Hey @Candy J ! ☺️ Navigating the costs of medicines, can be frustrating! Especially, when your insurance doesn't cover them, there's a high co-pay, and/or there are limited programs that offer assistance. People with asthma face large financial barriers to certain medicines and treatments. AAFA works to support public policies that will benefit people with asthma and allergies. This includes key priorities like promoting access to quality health care and affordable medications. Please know... [ more ]
