Today, I went to the doctors and was told I would need an inhaler. My mom came back from the pharmacy and told me the copay of $35 dollars was way too expensive, so she is making me use my cat's old inhaler. My mom values my cat's ability to breathe more then my own. FML

i say sell the cat for 35 bucks and get the inhaler... in all seriousness I'm a nurse and there are several kinds of inhalers with different kinds of medication some combinations some for asthma attacks some that are for regular use... your mom is a BITCH... she is putting you in serious danger... your life could be in jepordy how would she feel if she had to watch you die because she was to cheap... watching someone gasp for air is not a pretty site! since when is $35.00 more that what your childs life is worth... I would kill for mine and not think twice about it... the cats inhaler is mostl likely not the same medicine secondly i would bet that it is no where near the dose that you need. my advice to you is to check the prescription against the cats inhaler and show your mom the difference.... look up the cats medicine on line and get info and show her what the difference is and why you need the medicine what it is supposed to do for you- if she still thinks that the medicine is to expensive you need to take action. weather that is find a way to pay for it yourself or talk to your doc or the pharmacist to see what you can do. Good luck... oh yeah check and make sure that you get the generic if the med comes in generic form that way it is cheaper :)

I didn't know cats used inhalers XD. I have asthma so I understand how important an inhaler is. If you don't have one when you really need it just try to relax and breathe slowly. Sometimes breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth helps. Make sure your around fresh air too.

I think you mean your Mom values your cat's ability to breathe more THAN your own. Then and than aren't even pronounced the same. That is, if you can even speak correctly.

You sound like a terribly fun person. I'd imagine all of your friends invite you to parties because they enjoy your positive remarks and learning about the English language.

I pronounce "than" and "then" exactly the same way, and I speak perfectly well. It depends on where you're from. Stop being such a grammar Nazi, it's not like we couldn't understand the post.

$35 is alot cheaper than being rushed into the E.R. Which could cost your cheapskate mom about $2,000.

What type of inhaler did they put the OP on? I take 6 meds everyday for my asthma (and yes, it is a real disease for someone who earlier said it wasn't) - the albuterol inhaler (which is the starter med and rescue med for asthmatics and the typical one given out for temporary issues such as bronchitis) is a generic and is cheaper than$35 to buy without insurance.

The medications may be completely different. The feline medication may even be dangerous to your health. Please do not use it.
