I take 5 daily medications now (if you count calcium and magnesium-oxide that are both prescribed at higher-than-normal dosages). It kinda scares me that I'm taking that in my 30's. What will it be like in my 60's??
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Singular isn't a steroid; it inhibits the release of leukotrienes, which are released in response to allergens and then cause airway swelling and smooth-muscle contractions.
Basically, it's like an antihistamine, with a very specific target.

Teppy, is it one of those that has to be taken for several days before effetive? Because Doc was making noises like I'd see immediate results.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I know why my doctor sighed with relief when she asked me what medications I was taking and I said "nothing". I know it won't last.

Connie, I suspect it needs to be taken for a few days to get the drug to a steady-state level in your blood. The first few days it might help somewhat, but after a few days is probably when the maximum effect would kick in.

Not Teppy, but my doc told me it would take a few days to a week to see results. And, that has been my experience.

Stupid doctor. He practically told me it was a "take when you need it" drug.

My doc told me it is a "take every day" drug. I've gone off it a couple of times because my prescription ran out. It would take about 4 days for enough of it to leave my system, then I'd start coughing again. I'd get the prescription refilled and it would take about 4 days for the coughing to stop.

Mostly lurking...
I wish my UPS delivery would come. I haven't showered yet, 'cause I've been waiting for it. Just my luck, it'll come at 5pm.
