I am a 55 year old man in Arizona and have had asthma since age 12. Five years ago I was diagnosed COPD. Albuterol is the only drug that controls my breathing problems. The new HFA inhalers do not work for me and I am worried as they are the only inhalers available as the "environmentalists" have effectiely banned the older CFC inhalers. I became much worse taking Advair and stopped using it after 6 months.
