This doctor is very reluctant to give an inhaler for a severe breathing problem. I am thinking of going to someone else. She is big on maintenance drugs for asthma. But god forbid you need an rescue inhaler to breathe if maintenance didn't work that day. She will only prescribe what she thinks. The hell with the way you feel.

My allergy returned. It was obvious she took me off my shots prematurely. I am now undergoing another 5 years of treatment, of course with another doctor. One last thing, I moved and completely forgot about them. One day I needed some allergy pills and my regular doctor was unavailable so I figured Ms. Drug Dealer would easily call me in a prescription. Soon as I said who I was to the nurse, I heard “You owe
