When discussing stopping the inhaler and increasing the dosage of another prescription, I asked if I could top the inhaler and focus on that results before going on to increase the dosage of the second medication. Both the doctor and pharmacist were open to that plus including my primary physician's input on these possible changes.

Both care givers exhibited patience as they asked questions about my symptoms relating to lack of sleep, chest tightness, need for exercising, and eating proper amounts of proteins and vegetables. I need all the reminders to help me stay on track.
