Albuterol HFA is literally killing me.
I have had asthma all my life and I know how to manage it very well. 8 weeks ago I came down with a chest cold which aggravated my asthma. So I started using the new inhalers... 8 weeks, three different antibiotics, and two HFA inhalers later, I'm barely keeping from being hospitalized... lungs are filled with brown crap.... blew out a major blood vessel in my eye from the coughing yesterday... now have fiull-blown pneumonia....
....and I just figured out that it is indeed the propellant is killing me. I found one of my old CFC inhalers, used it, and instantly feel much MUCH better. There's no doubt.
I am very very angry, and very very ill...
OMG....

I have used the old form of albuterol safely and effectively for nearly 30 years. I just was made to switch to albuterol sulfate and have instantly had awful reactions. My lungs feel awful. Feel itchy and close up and uncontrollable coughing followed by continued shortness of breath and light hotheadedness and disorientation.
I am concerned about the environment too, but why should I die of an asthma attack to reduce a tiny amount of CFC's.
I am really terrified. Which of course makes my asthma worse just to panic.
