Interesting post from a Xopenex user on YC: use of xopenex rljacobson33 (67/M/valley springs. ca) 07/28/1999 01:28 am EDT I had been using albuterol sparingly along with atrovent for airway expansion. I used albuterol sparingly because I found over the 20 or so years that continual use of proventil caused me to lose about 50L/min in peak flow base line rate. This deficit had to be made up by the 100 to 110L/min that I gained from albuterol. Problem is especially acute in the early morning when the effect runs out. I was then worse off. I found that this base line loss was not so pronounced if I used proventil sparingly and suffered my asthma. When I ran across xopenex I learned of the recemic pair of R and S albuterol. I had told my doctor about my concerns about albuterol before I learned of xopenex. He humored me and gave me a precription for xopenex before I could get it at the drug store. I finally got it on May 23. I got the air compressor for nebulizing that day. My life is better than it has been in a long time. Anyone who is taking albuterol as a preventive should try xopenex for her/him self. I continue to have albuterol MDI on my person at all times and scattered about for emergency. I have an inverter to run the compressor in my car. I obviously want the xopenex MDI. This company has done me a great service. I look forward to the RR formoterol. I hope he posts about his experiences on the alt.support.asthma Usenet group. Peter

>>I must admit I have never felt this horrible before in my life.<< I think I felt a little worse at 60. This whole sell-off has occurred on very low volume and has never developed the terrifying momentum we had on the initial downleg.

Mazen, <I must admit I have never felt this horrible before in my life.> How to say?, I understand. I've been there. In fact, I had one stock that had a significantly bigger drop. It fell from 52 to 13. Ouch!! I remember reading an article that said that declines are twice as painful as rises are pleasing. Thus, buying a stock at 80, watching it rise to 100, and then return to 80 results in net suffering. I think the shrinks that worked on that study got it right. At least I can relate to it. I also think it acts as a support for trading and TA approaches which play off our need to shield ourselves from pain. If talking to someone in the same boat would help - 314-514-8094 Kind regards, Jim
