Re: Afrin is bad, but what about vick nasal inhalers?

What does your doctor say? Prescription nasal sprays, while expensive, do not usually contribute to rebound congestion like you're having.

Maybe it does around you. Near me, most places are asking between about $1.10 and about $1.50. And the price varies even at the same store.

Re: Adrenal Fatigue: Is it dangerous to "try" Hydrocortisol ?

Re: Help in the Keys please...

I'm in S. Florida, not that far north of the Keys. The DME names I've seen in this area are the biggies - ones that you may or may not be interested in - listed alphabetically: Apria, Lincare and Walgreens. I've not encountered any of the "Mom and Pop-type" shops that some here have mentioned having...

Re: Help! I can't get my sleep study results from my doc
