This week has been puffer experiment week.  The blue puffer - that's a salbutamol inhaler - works just fine to take the last of my wheezies out, but I was still getting annoyed at the wheezies manifesting before deploying the blue puffer to nix them.  It stands to reason, if you're going to get a wheeze attack, maybe taking the dose as a prophylactic would work.  Did it?

Oh, you bet it did.  Turns out that the 'reliever' (not 'receiver' you mucky sods) is good for about two hours.  Lovely clear pipes and no thinking "ooer, will I need the puffer after this hill or can I leave it until I get to work?".  It's marvellous.

I can see why it's banned!  And I can see why every athlete seems to have exercise-induce asthma and needs a prescription for one (!).Time to get a permit myself, methinks.
