How's the new change treating you?

Or shall I say, how are you treating yourself since the change from CFC inhalers to HFA inhalers. If you're like many you haven't had a good experience. I know I haven't been well for over a year. I struggle daily to breathe even with the help of a nebulizer. I am finally growing back my hair (which I lost a lot of while using the HFA inhalers). I had to go to more than one doctor before I was believed. I found that no one in the medical profession wishes to speak negatively about these inhalers. Its unfortunate that people who do not have asthma made decisions that have altered my life and the life of many many asthmatics worldwide. Since many of us are sick we cannot fight. But there are some very interesting groups forming and I suggest that everyone check out http://www.savecfcinhalers.org/. I also suggest that everyone post a comment of their experience with HFA inhalers on http://www.consumeraffairs.com/health/hfa_inhalers.html. We need to unite before we are all breathless.....
