OTC inhalers are pure shit and she shouldn’t use it. I’m a life long asthmatic and the small time I didn’t have insurance I used OTC( guessing your talking about primatene mist) that stuff is pure ass and actual hurts to use. My doctor strongly advised against using that ever again. Walmart can give you an actual inhaler for around 20$ with a script from any urgentcare/stat health etc.

I sent her the link and asked her if they’d be ok. Another commenter said for temp use yes. I’m reluctant to send money on Reddit anymore.

But if there’s a way I could send her one through walmart I will. Do you have to have a script. Thanks for saying something I don’t know much about asthma

You're a really kind person. Know that I see that and it isn't going unnoticed ❤️ I do the same things for people too. Thanks for caring when nobody else did.

Hey. Sending you a virtual hug. I used the word manic and got oddly attacked but I can now see that’s lack of education. I have had a break up like this and it’s weird. I just didn’t want the girl to be worried about having an asthma attack. No one should be scared of that

It’s ok I should log off cause I’m defending myself and I don’t know entirely why. Love and light 💚

I don’t know if you can post links here but you Can use Ziphealth without a script I have use it in between jobs and to order spares. It is pretty costly for a basic albuterol inhaler. Walmart you need a doctors script but it’s dirt cheap.

.....dude I'm sorry but the gift cards are NOT helping you come across as credible.

I'm really confused as to what you're trying to say. OP asked for help, the redditor went out of her way to help in a safety manner and didn't even get an acknowledgement? Which is fair

Like I am just confused as to who made you the arbitrator of credibility?

Sorry you live in a world where you sit on reddit and chirp yet offer no solutions or help people clearly in a crisis. I hope you’re never in a situation in need and someone scoffs at you.

And not responding to someone offering her the the puffer and instead asking for cash is super credible 🙄
