^That really is too bad, that you can't visit the doctor should you feel you need to. That's how it is in Australia, you should come and live here. ;)

Since I have had the Symbicort puffer, I have had a weird problem - the spray hits the back of my throat and I gag. Over and over until I nearly throw up and my eyes are streaming. Not pleasant. So my doctor recommended a spacer, which I bought today. I have used it once and it works without a problem!
Yeah kind of.
What's a spacer :?: I have GERD(Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) & a couple of times I used the inhaler it irritated my throat for abit.

A spacer is like a tube and has the inhaler attach to one end and you breathe the spray in at the other end. It makes it easier to take the metered dose in your own time, not quickly like the inhaler alone makes you do.
