I use Primatene when I can't get my albuterol refilled, usually because of being somewhere out of town over a holiday or weekend.
Hopefully before the deadline all the people using their last puffs of Primatine Mist makes a hole in the Ozone layer that will suck all the morons in the FDA into outer space. First they take away the generic form of Tedral which was Theophyline, Ephedrine and Phenobarbital in a small amount to keep you from shaking. Then they leave you out to dry for a year or so and then they change the formula to Ephedrine and Guaifenesin. Then they make it very hard to obtain because some morons make Meth out of the pills. GET A CLUE they make METH out of ANYTHING that will bind. And hopefully the users of METH die a quick death so I can continue to breathe. So yes let me hold my hands around the throat of the head of the FDA and see how he or she likes not being able to breathe. And that is what most asthmatics have to look forward to and Albuterol is NOT affordable for any ashtmatic at 55 dollars a prescription.
I really hope that they can come up with a safe, effective, reasonably priced, CFC-free, over-the-counter inhaler for us. In this day and age, there is no reason that can't happen unless big pharma stands in the way - as it usually does!
ack Asthmatic
When I had to refill my albuterol inhaler after the FDA banned CFCs as propellants I almost passed out when the price under my plan went from $5.00 to $35.00. my thought at the time was how the heck could parents of kids with asthma afford this kind of price increase. Now that this thinking has been applied to all of the commerce in the United States not just Albuteral inhalers we see the true costs of the green revolution. Death by over regulation.
Damaging the ozone layer? At the risk of being over-scientific the actual evidence does not support the widely-believed destruction of the global ozone layer by CFCs. The famous Molina-Rowland theory, as originally described, has NEVER been shown to actually work in the real atmosphere. They THEORIZED in 1974 that peak ozone depletion from CFC chlorine would take place in the MIDDLE stratosphere between 25 and 35 km. They asserted in 1975 (Rev. Geophys. Space Phys, p. 9) that negligible CFC photodissociation to inorganic chlorine species would take place below about 25 km. But in testing their theory subsequent research showed that (1) the large decreases in ozone were taking place in the LOWER stratosphere below about 25 km (Stolarski et al., 1992, SCIENCE, 256, 342), (2) INORGANIC chlorine (the only Cl that can interact chemically with ozone) below 25 km is primarily HCl and CLONO2. These two compounds are so-called reservoir species, and in addition were shown to be derived predominantly from NON-CFCs. See Zander et al. (1992, J. Atmos. Chem. 15, 171, Fig. 1 and tables). They showed that below 25 km (where Stolarski et al. 1992 said large ozone decreases had occurred) only 30% of the inorganic chlorine came from CFCs while the remaining 70% came from methyl chloride, methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. (3) the ozone-destructive ClO molecules peak ABOVE the middle atmosphere near 40 km with little or none present below 25 km where ozone was being destroyed. In other words, after actual measurements were made. nothing much in the subsequent data fitted the Molina-Roland CFC theory very well. Indeed, it doesn't even work to explain the famous ozone hole, a seasonal event which required a totally new theory.
I'm no expert on MDI formulation, but I've been wondering about possible differences between HFC and CFC inhalers. One is that HFCs are generally poorer solvents and CFCs. Another is that I would expect the denser CFC gas to have better penetration deep into the lung. Could these issues be related to some of the consumer complaints that have been circulating about HFC inhalers?
Obama is a moron,
The product may have saved me as a child and I used to buy it with my paper route money. I breathed it directly in. Wouldn't the CFC's change in chemical composition after being filtered through the body? Is my lung tissue stronger than the ozone layer? Confused on many levels here...
LOL Like they are banning it due to fluorocarbons. Bottom line, doctors and the prescription drug companies don't like when you bypass them. My question is, what about people who dont have insurance? What are they to do now. I guess just lay down and die.
The travesty here is that replacement of the CFC propellant with an HFC developed primarily for the HVAC industry allows drug manufacturers to re-patent a ubiquitous class of drugs and "cash in" with little real development cost to them. A perversion as serious as patent trolls.
So, screw anyone who doesn't have insurance and has been buying this OTC product to control their asthma. Now, you can go see a doctor and pay $150.00 for a prescription inhaler. Thanks, FDA!
I am severely allergic to Albueterol. The Epinephrine is sometimes, the only thing that helps me. Please, someone help the company to bring it back with something different as a propellant that the FDA approves. Thanks. :O}
@ Tori - This has nothing to do with Obama. CFC inhalers for albuterol were banned 12/31/2008.
Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is actively finalizing its internal
development of a new,
CFC-Free Primatene*Mist that will continue to use epinephrine as its active
ingredient but will use a more environmentally friendly propellant (known as
HFA, or hydrofluoroalkane). There will likely be a period of time between
December 31, 2011 and the date of FDA Approval of the new HFA Primatene*Mist
product. Please be assured that Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is committed
to bringing the new product to market in the shortest time possible once the
product is approved by the FDA>
I sent the company that makes Primatine mist an email and they sent me that.
I hope you're right, Brett. I heard that Armstrong already tried and couldn't develop an effective product using compliant propellants. I have been hoarding Primatene inhalers and hope this gets fixed before I have another bad cold after my supply runs out. (It's when you have a chest full of mucous that you could actually suffocate from the asthma. Primatene has straightened this out for me and I've used it for the past 50 years)
I sure hope they come up with a replacement! I have used primatene mist since I was10 years old, I am now 47. I have tried the so called prescription rescue inhalers and they just don't relieve my breathing problems. The price is a non issue for me, I would continue to use primatne mist no matter the cost.
I too have been using Primatene for many years. I have tried prescription inhalers but they don't work the same. I guess I better start stocking up now. This is such a load of crap. It's feels like the government and medical community are holding asthmatics hostage. Your telling me the percentage of CFC's from Primatene users is substantial enough to necessitate taking it off the shelves you mean as opposed to all the other pollution/crap we find in our air. Get a grip people.
Likewise, I have been using Primatene since I was a kid, now 53. Not sure why Armstrong Pharmaceuticals waited so long on the non-cfc aerosol. If you know the government, this will take 6-9 months to approve. There will probably be an increase of asthma related ER visits this Winter as a result of removing Primatene from the shelves. By the way, there was an environmental impact study of cfc inhalers, guess what, little or n impact.
I as well have used primatene since i was 10 , now 40 i rely on it every day . I cant afford to go to the doctors and get a presciption , they dont work as good as primatene anyway . Hopefully too many people dont die from people worrying about the ozone , what about us who have to breathe?
I hope the government took into account the increase in er visits and deaths that will result from this. Having your own lungs suffocate you is no joke and anyone who doesn't take asthma seriously is either uneducated or completely lacking in empathy. There will be backlash from this short-sighted decision. Taking it off the market without an alternative for those who can't afford a doctor's visit in the first place is going to endanger those already vaulnerable and add even greater financial burden on the precarious financial situation we are already in concerning providing healthcare to all.
this is long overdue. needless to say, even though the FDA started the rules in 2008, when someone else was president, Obama is getting the blame. And this stuff is NOT a good way to treat asthma anyway: http://blogs.standard.net/blogging-the-rambler/2011/09/30/breathtaking-lies/
The shelves were empty when went to buy Primatene. This weekend I almost died, throat swelled, lungs filled with fluids, hives, rash. Couldn't find my epipen and was going down hard n fast. Grabbed handfuls of antihistamines, way over maximum recommended doses. Wasn't working but was getting very sleepy, so went to sleep, thought as I went unconscious, this is it. Slept a long, long time till today, still some congestion, but am alive. Don't expect to remain alive much longer, I know I will die soon, with allergies so out of control as mine are, no Primatene means no life.
Many would say go to hospital as I was having anaphylactic shock. Know that all too well, also know that corts and steroids will cause my symptoms to worsen rapidly, also know that local hospital can never find my allergy records even though have given to them multiple times. If I had gone to hospital, I would be dead now. So many specialists I have seen, and one of the favorite tests is to put you in breathing machine and test your capacity and then use something like Albuterol or it's current form and then test capacity again, Darn specialists are then acting shocked when they see my capacity drop so much so fast. They perform this test even when I tell them what has happened in the past from those type meds, and usually in the past I ended up in hospital after my breathing got real bad, mind you I went into specialist breathing well and then hospital makes everything worse than what the specialist did. Only answer used to be to sign myself out against doctors orders and get to a store for Primatene, but now there will not be any Primatene. I will not survive till there is a replacement, I will die.
Kent, I appreciate your attempt. However, arguing with Greens using scientific fact and logic is useless. They make up new facts faster than you can prove them wrong and they are logically challenged.
I know people that have died from asthma. People will die from this decision. People that used to used this medicine that do not die, will suffer. The people that made this decision should do not have compassion and their actions will kill people. According to a dictionary "Psychopathy is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness." If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is duck.
I do rely on this because I HAVE DIED from asthma twice and since switching the Primatine Mist I have not had a asthma attack for 2 years now. Thank you for the coffon nails FDA. One more need less death caused by the govermaent. Yet other company's that pollute the Earth in far worse ways go unchecked. Just saying!!!!
I feel for all of you. I used Primatene all the way through high school and college to control my asthma. I stole it when I was broke in college because there was nothing else between me and an emergency room visit. At the time, I would rather have been breathing in jail than taking $250 epinephrine shots or hooked up to an $10k emergency room machine. When I found out last year that Primatene was coming off the shelves, I went in to speak to my physician, get on a regular plan of Advair & ProAir and STILL felt the need to buy 10 additional Primatene inhalers on eBay to keep in a drawer.
The reason I write this is that back in the day, I always assumed there were a million other people who, if they couldn't find an inhaler at their local pharmacy, would drive around to every other one in a five mile radius, recognize they were in crisis if they couldn't find one and then drive to the closest ER.
If you can get to a doctor, get on ADVair. If nothing else, it will erase the fear the asthma will kill you.
The very first day they said it might be banned back in 2008 I went out and spent 1200 bucks stocking up. I have been rotating it so its all fresh and up to date.
Screw the FDA, I have a lifetime supply. Stored in a few locations as well.
Ever notice how these scare articles never mention that within the next year they will be coming out with a NON CFC Primatene? Yes folks.. it may be gone for a couple of months, but if you read the press release on the site that makes it, they state a replacement will be coming soon.
Screw em, stock up now.. I just picked up 10 more on a website this morning.. I refuse to play games with what I KNOW WORKS. Stock up and DEMAND a speedy replacement.
If any of you people knew what Primatene Mist does to your body, you'd be running to the doc for some albuterol (aka REAL short-term asthma symptom treatment)
My husband has COPD, and doctors have given him all kinds of medications and NONE has worked for
a rescue inhaler except for Primatene Mist. He can't tolerate albuterol, Advair, etc. He can use Xopenex which helps some so he doesn't have to use as much Primatene, but it doesn't work near as good or fast.
For some reasons ($$$ & control) is what the problem is. Prescription drugs give the pharmacuticals & doctors more money and control over everyone. No doctors could tell him what was so bad with the Primatene just said not to use it. Doesn't matter whether he can breathe or not - just don't use it? Doesn't make any sense. And if you read the side effects of Primatene to ANY of the COPD drugs, the Primatene has hardly any. Also the gov. has given prescription drugs that contains CFC's in them another 2 years
to change theirs. No, its not about the invironment, its the same oh same oh, GREED AND POWER. And some people don't have the money to go to a doc to get a prescription or afford the meds, but a lot of people don't think about that or even care, they just listen to what our government says even though the government has lied to us so many times I don't know why anyone even listens to them let alone believe them.
I've been using Primatene Mist since I was a little girl. Nothing relieves my sudden flareups except Primatene. Albuterol does nothing for me. So now what? Its scary.
REALLY! " FDA advisory panel voted 11-7 that Primatene didn't serve an essential health need."
Thats a load of crap, What this ir really about is eliminating people who cant afford health coverage. If you don't have insurance, you cant get a prescriprtion, and you're screwed. Primatene is the only over the counter medication for asthma tha WORKS and they're getting rid of it on purpose to help the drug companies make more money. Heres the irony! If the government wouldn't allow corporations to polute the air and food, there would be fewer cases of asthma that they are now preventing most un insured Americans from getting the medication for. Greedy conservatives are so short sighted, Killing off people who actually contribute to their long term wealth for short terrm gains. As rediculous as this is and were powerless to do anything about it, , next thing you know the corporations will find a way to force govermnment to pass laws that allow them to charge for air. ( SARCASM)
I have relied on Primatene to assist me in breathing due to my allergies. I am sensitive to everything here on the farm in Idaho. The product relieved the acute swelling from dust, hay, animals, pollens etc, and I did not need further drugs. I did try other prescriptions that were unsuccessful and did not work as well. My doctor has to prescribe other medications for me that cost over $300 per month (I am unemployed and have no insurance), so having this over the counter has been a blessing. Now I see that places like Amazon have cornered the market. All the stores around me are sold out or are no longer carrying it. Everything that is for medical purposes has a high cost to it, and is for profit, the quality of life and affordability is not an option. I spent 13+ years in the medical industry before I left.
Primatene Mist is depleting the ozone layer? That's the biggest bit of bullsh*t I ever heard of! Why don't they ban fking semi trucks for the exhaust they pump into the air, that's got to be more contaminating that small inhalers. I don't get insurance with my work and I can't afford albuterol inhalers with out a prescription. wtf are people like me supposed to do now?
I have been using Primatene Mist since 1979 for my asthma!. This is the only thing that works for me other than the mini thins that you have to wait to get into your system and they are very hard to find nowdays. I want to know what they expect asthmatics to use to keep breathing when they take this off the market?. Do they plan on coming out with another version?. What do we do until then?. Primatene Mist has kept my asthma under control for over 30 years and this scares me to death!.What will I use now?.The FDA has no idea what they are doing when it comes to this!. They should come out with a newer version BEFORE they take this off the market instead of just leaving us to die gasping for air!.I guess the hospitals will be overrun with people who have no insurance and need breathing treatments!
Does anyone have information on whether or not there is an organization trying to stop this ban? I am flabbergasted...this is inhumane....
I'm with the others who posted. I have been using primatene mist for years And have had a handful of attacks where if I had not had the accessibility to get it at the drug store I could have died....
Wtf am I supposed to do now???? This is wrong.
I have used Primatene 30 years for my asthma with no side effects. I have no insurance and cannot even come close affording the medication the doctors want me to take. I saved up for two months to get the money to go see a doctor and they prescribed me albuteral and I thought ok this won't be so bad then I went to get it filled.... $70 fricken dollars where am I suppose to come up with that kind of money on a regular basis this whole thing is going to kill many and drive others to hospitals on a weekly basis and with no insurance it is going to ruined some peoples credit and then others will just have to leave the bill unpaid... How long will the hospitals be able to handle to increase influx of people coming in for asthma that can't afford to pay their medical bills before the hospitals themselves go bankrupt?
Almost forgot, that same doctor prescribed Symbicort, even gave me a sample of it and woot it worked wonderfully then the sample ran out and I went skipping down to the pharmacies to get my prescription filled...... WTF it was $170 for a month supply, ok so who on God's green earth has $170 extra every month. I am lucky if I have the $20 for my Primatene Mist.. I refuse to die over this I will camp out right outside the ER so I can just go in every time my asthma acts up and there is no way I can afford the bill, my credit will go to hell but I will live and the hospital will be stuck with the bill 'you can't get blood from a turnip"
I was sprayed with a chemical tank at our local farm grain elevator at the age of 7. I have had asthma ever since, People I'm 56 years old, my asthma triggers if I get laughing too hard with family and friends, or getting overheated while being outside working in the yard in the fall or winter. I have tried medicines my family physician has given me, and they are crap! I just want to live a normal life as much as possible. I didn't ask for this condition, I've lived with it for years. Now the FDA says I can't laugh or rake leaves, their telling me to drop dead, because I can't buy a med that works???? I agree with previous comment, get something on the shelf before they remove the old. What next, Pam cooking spray, hairspray, spray perfume in a can????
i been using it for a long time and it helps me now it is goone il been running allover town and driven to find it now il ask frends to help who have or use diffrend sprays for asthma ya it helps but i can run every time and ask hey can i use your spray this world is already messed up so why mess up a good thing it need to be but back on the shalf now
I have been on primatene since I was seven (51 now). Finally several years ago I was induced to go to the doctor to see if anything new had come about. The doctors experimented on me with azmacort, spiriva, etc., etc.. They all had nasty side effects that were worse than a slightly elevated blood pressure and didn't do anything much for me except make my lungs feel like jelly, give me a throat infection that required nasty antibiotics to resolve, gave me heart palpitations and even had 'sudden death' as a potential side effect!! Come ON!
Even albuterol (which was the best) wasn't always effective especially in spring.
THEN...... One spring day I had run out and was having an asthma attack and my albuterol was empty. I went to the pharmacy and was DENIED a refill because the INSURANCE company had decided in their infinite wisdom that I had enough and had to wait a month, AFTER I see the doctor again (another expense). I told the pharmacist that I'm sweating from lack of air and feel like my sats are in the 70's and if she doesn't do something I'm about to pass out. She gave me an albuterol anyway and helped me out. Then I said the heck with all this government manipulation and insurance garbage and I went back to primatene because I don't feel I should have to get permission to breathe. The last couple of years have been good because primatene was always readily available and works.
If we are so concerned about CFCs in the air, why not start outlawing diesel vehicles and make tobacco illegal? -Oh yeah, the feds are getting huge sums of money from those people.
well my first didnt get posted which suks i will repost it later im to pissed now
Tens of millions of people will suffer as a result of this stupidity. Some people will even die. I feel sorry for the 250,000 homeless veterans that I work with. Now starting Jan 1st 2012 thousands of veterans will suffer. Imagine a city of 200,000 people all gasping for air 8 to 10 hrs a day. Men, women, kids, and our veterans.
I just been hit by the news. I used to work for Wyeth in the past and know a lot of things about what really moves pharmaceutical industry. This really is a stab in the back. The government does not think about the millions depending on this product, the only solution available and at hand. One of you guys said we don't need permission to breath, nobody does. The first step for these vampires (government and pharmaceuticals) is to create chaos, absence, and later come up with a "new product" with double or triple the price. Many people could die because of this so called "improvement."
But look around. In European countries, Canada, and even Latin American countries, there are several choices for asthma inhalers, in contrast, the "most powerful country of the planet" has only one and ready to shop that only one off the market. What's wrong with these blood suckers? Are we asthmatics an stigma they have to eliminate? Isn't this a form of discrimination?
Now to save the damn ozon which has been ruined for years and years by everything else, i have to go and spend about $ 200 to get an inhaler! Also if its no longer available after 12/31 then why on 12/19 i cant find it anywhere?
What sort of business is this?
does anybody know when they will come back on the market?
This is crazy. I had no idea that this was going to be taken off the market. My pharmacist said nothing in the two years I have been buying Primeatine from him about this . I find it very insightful that not all inhalers are being taken off the market, but only the ones the poor can afford. I guess people that can afford 200.00 inhalers are not damaging the environment like my 20.00 one did. I tried buying in another location, perhaps stocking up, but all the pharmacies in my area took the inhalers off their shelves three weeks before the 31st deadline and sent them back to the manufacturer. I cant breathe now. Every day my breathing is getting worse and worse. I expect to incur hospital bills soon because of this.
If there is a Lawyer out there who is considering a class action lawsuit, I am in. I have never sued anyone in my life, but my Government is trying to kill me now. email@example.com
in the pass when I got an ashama attact in the middle of the night, I used primatene mist and got instant relief Now its a trip to the emergency room and expensive hospital bills.
i used primatene mist to help keep my air ways open due to copd, i have ins. but still can't afford the copays for other inhalers the one's the doctor say's use cost almost 300.00 dollars & my copay is 100.00 dollars, well if your on ss you can't afford this! but i guess us poor people don't count in this world today!!!!!!
Plz bring back primaten mist
I have had asthma my whole life, and Primatene Mist has been the best rescue inhauler I've ever tried. It pisses me off they took it off the market before bringing another solution.
i wish dope heads would all die us the 1s that really need it so we can breathe it is a shame we sufe because obama and the dopeheads the reason why we paid for the mist inhailers is cause we could not afford like proscribed inhailers oboma did away with health care so he is trying to do away with the sick and dieing people make the rich richer poor they can just die right
I wonder if there will be ER room consequences because of this?
I have used Epi Inhalors all my life. I will die when my stock runs out. Nothing else works for me.
email@example.com This is the webaddress of the company that manufactures Primatene AND Albuterol, are you getting the picture now???
Here is the # 617 323 7404 we need to all stay in constant contact with these people and let them know how badly we need a replacement. I like the idea of a class action too. Anyone interested, get ahold of me using my name above, I'm at hotmail.com
This scares me to death! If i get around gin dust or in stand storms I need the inhaler. Not often but sometimes.Just anther way for doctors and drug stores to make more money. How many will now die cause they can't get it over the counter?
Hey All, my Brother has asthma and we stocked up some on primatene mist. It looks like he'll need to figure out what HFA will work for him, it sounds like they have scary side effects, but i haven't looked at the actual drug info sheets. As other commentors have said Primatene is coming out with a inhaler using the same medication but the new delivery method. Originally the cfc inhalers were going to be taken off the market in 08' and i found an article talking about how to obtain the new HFA inhalers with a little bit of savings. http://asthma.about.com/od/medicationfaqs/qt/saveonhfa.htm <<the info may be out of date. One of the articles i read said that the US was outputting over 5,000 metric tons of CFC's in ...1996 i think and in 07' it was down to less than 200. So the goal was more than 95% met then and i don't see why the Govt. couldn't of made an exemption for you all to keep the cheap medication on the shelves until a new generic was available(Our country agreed to a treaty to stop using CFC's but I'm pretty sure we tell the rest of the world to stick it on a fairly regular basis :) ). Best wishes.
If you are concerned about the ban, please consider signing my petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/the-president-of-the-united-states-stop-the-ban-of-primatene-mist# This ban is illegal and fraudulent from top to bottom.
I don't understand how the government can determine that a product that asthmatice NEED to help them BREATHE is a hazard to the universe. Since when is the welfare of citizens sacondary in thid world. What are we supposed to do without this product, on which I rely every single day to help me gwrt through my day.. This is BIG Brother at its most outrageous.
I love this country, but I'm sick and tired of somebody making decisions for me. This decision, I'm sure, makes alot of bleeding heart libs feel good about themselves. Thanks for your concern. By the way, I heard the FDA has issued a warning about hugging trees.....Don't eat the bark
My son depends on primatene mist since he has to wait a few months to see his doctor. I have to share my inhaler with him. To me this is genocide. People have severe asthma who need that. why not ban aerosols instead?
I see online, inhalers are going for anywhere from $90 to $250 for a 15mL refill. My thoughts are to spend that money on bullets instead because it's not long now before all hell breaks loose in this country. If I was a politician, I would be buying Kevlar lined clothing right about now. I can only imagine that most of the pharmaceutical industry heads live outside this country already, but any that don't are certainly trying not to let people know who they are. It is blatantly obvious that this is a scam cooked up by the government and pharmaceutical companies to force people to go to doctors and get "prescription" products... "It's easy, just get yourself some insurance and come on down," is the attitude that is being taken by all involved. Seems very fishy. This is seriously the kind of thing that causes revolutions and government take overs. This is as corrupt as it gets, I'm talking African government type level of corruption. Sorry, I just realized I've gone way off track. Bullets, survival gear and a game plan for when sh*t goes down are what everyone should be worrying about now because people get crazy when they get desperate and it's pretty obvious no one on the top cares what this does to asthmatics. I have one spare inhaler left and when it's gone, I don't know what I'll end up doing but I'm pretty sure I have the means to take care of it and "conform to the system" by getting the prescription. But I also know that there are lots of people who don't have enough money to afford that option. I'm not sure whats going to happen but I do know I wouldn't object to a new governmental system, I just don't want to be around when it happens.
I agree with Phil 100% . it's cooked up by the corrupt corporations that bought and paid for the government or should i say OWNS the gov. It's just another money grab to fill the pockets of the greedy . Look at the size of that .5 oz. bottle , wow, lots of cfc in there , bullshit.
this is another way of big brother controlling people.my wife uses primeatene,see what government does!
I just talked with the people from Armstrong Pharmaceuticals (Amphastar), and they tell me a replacement for Primatine Mist is in production and being distributed. The new product uses HFA, a different propellant. Let your local pharmacy or store know about it, and have them order it.
I do agree with Phil. He's a little over the top with the Kevlar lined clothing, but like both you and I, he's angry.
Note to the US GOV:
Folks, watch your backs. We the people are tired of your control over us. We're fed up with your control over the news media. We're irate over your control of the schools and the dumbing down of our kids. We've had it with you taking money from corrupt corporations with one hand, and shoving the other in our pockets for tax money, only to give it to undeserving illegals just to get their vote. What really burns us is when our returning veterans have to fight a second war with you to get the medical treatment they rightfully deserve.
We drove out a tyrannical, overbearing, over taxing government in the 1700's. We can do it again. Only this time your armed forces won't be going up against an angry mob with pitchforks. It'll be going up against an entire nation of citizens armed to the teeth.
I believe Primatene Mist is 10x better than any of the prescription inhalers. I used to be on 8 medications before I switched to Primatene and only need the inhaler 3 or 4 times a week instead of 10 nebulizer treatment, inhalers, etc. every day. Of course the pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know that there is a medication over the counter that works better than their crap. I hope our drugstore will order the new version soon. I will keep hammering them until they do. Best of luck to you all.
I am with you all. what the heck!
I'm not only insulted by their creating unnesssary suffering (death to some) but by the lame environmental excuse. 3 million inhalers would take 1 million years to smog up the skies as much as one of China's industrial towns do in a day.
FDA sure has contempt for the 3 million users of PM. Both them and doctors laugh all the way to the bank. Flash a dollar bill and the FDA bends over. Money and politics and 50 million with no insurance. That's what it's about. As silly as banning whiskey cause it might cause liver disease (they did do that once, how'd that work out?).
Im glad to see im not the only one anry and suffering from this. These environmentalist are going to kill us.Even the prescription inhalers are inferior now.
i sit here wheezing coughing and havent slept for fear of laying down, i have an empty primatine mist inhaler next to me. anticipating a visit to the ER before morning...because of what ? some act to save the ozone layer, this certainly counts as attacking the lesser evil imo. i have no health insurance because i went part time at work because im not willing to put my 2 month old son in daycare...i cant afford any of the rx inhalers nevermind the visit to the dr just to get a prescription...
i cant afford to breathe...i dont see how this can possibly turn out well for my new family. :.(
I'm right there with you light headed I didn't even know they were getting pulled, I have used this stuff for 10 years now, why attack an inhaler when we have diesel trucks doing worse?
Although prescription options for asthma are available, including albuterol, many people can not afford to make a trip to the Doctor much less pay for a prescription.
I hope a new version of Primatene Mist is released.
There is a new virus in town. It sits n your head for a few days, itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, maybe some minor facial sinus pressure. No other symptoms. Then it suddenly attacks the lungs. It doesn't act like a natural virus. Bronchial swelling is so bad you could die just because you can't get air past the swelling. It isn't just mucous in the lungs that can be coughed up. The behavior of the virus is alarmingly specific. What an interesting coincidence that this has hit big cities just after the only relief the uninsured can get has been taken off the market. It has nothing to do with the ozone. The message is clear -- get heath insurance or die.
This isn't about patching a hole in the ozone layer it's about patching a hole in some healthcare company's profit.
If you go on the radar by getting a prescription inhaler for occasional breathing issues your health insurer will assign you a new risk level and mercilessly rake you over the coals for the rest of your life. Complete back room deal. Primatine Mist was available anywhere, it worked and on at least 2 occasions saved my life after an allergic reaction to bee stings when an eppy pen wasn't available. I hope they enjoy the money.
i have use Primatine since i was a kid now 37..Albuteral or any other of those dr. prescribed asthma remedies do not work..it's all crap..please get the inhaler back i beg of you me and over a million people use the product..
This isn't about the ozone this is about the Government killing off the poor to make more room for the rich as if they need it. Please bring Primatine back as soon as you can? We need it so much because I have had days that I think I would have died if it hadn't been for Primatine. THANKS!
I am fortunate enough to have health insurance however the inhalers I have been prescribed are very expensive. I used the Advair which my insurance covered 80% and my out of pocket was $120.00 so I asked my doctor to give me a cheaper one which is $75.00 out of pocket. I still cannot afford those expensive inhalers that don't work as well as the Primatene Mist.
It's sad to think the FDA DOES NOT CARE about the people who rely on PRIMATEJE MIST INHALERS. JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH OUT FEELING LIKE AN ELEPHANT IS SITTING ON THEIR CHEST.Knowing that you don't have this any more gives them a panick attack which brings on an asthma attack. You will be killing so many people by taking this away from them. As others have stated older people can not afford prescribed alternatives, or do not have health care to to help cover the cost. What do they do now! Just lay down and die because of an attack! I hope your ok with that. I am not! It was IRRESPONSIBLE OF THE FDA to take this off the market with out a replacement ready to be put on the shelf, for these poor suffering people with a cronic lung disease, who can't afford a prescription. Shame on the FDA and our Government for doing this. As always more money for the rich and to bad for the poor. The Government was formed to protect the WELFARE OF THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You are now putting their welfare at stake! I AM OUTRAGED AT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FDA FOR BEING SO THOUGHTLESS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FAST BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM AN ATTAC. AND YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH YOUR BAD JUDGEMENT FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE.:(
We win
Since a very large percentage of asthma sufferers are the urban working class and poor, a population that is increasingly un- or under-insured, they will not be able to afford the extremely expensive prescription inhalers that the FDA so blithely offers up as a substitute for an affordable and effective over the counter medication. Many of these people will suffer and perhaps even die as a result of this decision and the lack of this medication.
So, why couldn't the FDA wait for a non-CDC version of Primatene to be ready, as they did for some prescription inhaler products? Because the big pharmaceutical companies have been trying for years to have the FDA kill this product off for them, and with the CDC ban finally got their chance. So, at best the people in charge at the FDA are clueless as to the way many asthma sufferers live and survive, but much more likely they are in the pocket of big pharma and, like those companies, utterly callous and uncaring when it comes to the health and lives of poor and working class people.
I just found out about the ban a few weeks ago. Nothing on the news and I only use one or two primatene mist a year. so I was not in touch with the website or any of the signs by the drug where it is purchased. I recently lost my job , have never had insurance and had to move to Tucson Arizona because I was going to be homeless if I didn't. I am highly allergic to this city unforuntely and struggle to breath daily. To my shock when I went to buy a new inhaler they told me ( after I visited 5 drugstores) they were no longer available. I have no idea what I am going to do. I have no money , no job and I getting worse daily. I knew they ban the regular inhalers a few years ago but I thouhgt these inhalers where basically typicall spray units like a spray bottle. We had our regular inhalers banned and thats when I started buying primaten mist due to the astromonical price increase on on albuteral inhalers, and they NEVER WORKED . I was paying $ 40 dollars per inhaler that wouuld like less then two weeks. the old ones last for months. but something happened when they made the change. I am FURIOUS THAT THE FDA AND OUR REPRESENATIVES are doing this to us . Primatene mist is a life boat for so many asthma suffers. EVERYONE NEEDS TO START CONTACTING THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.. Its always about $$$$ so disgusting how the poor and sick pay and the pharmacetical companies get richer and richer.
Thanks a lot you bunch of ozone layer hugging jack asses. I can't breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure it's our inhalers that are destroying the ozone layer and not towers from factories pouring out smoke or cars or anything like that, yea it's the inhalers...people don't really need to breathe right?
How do these inhalers harm the ozone layer? were people going around just squirting the contents of their inhaler into the air? Last I checked you INHALED the contents of the inhaler. Find another way to line your pockets without choking off peoples air you bunch of Jackasses!
Where were all you complainers when this was being challenged by ONE guy. . .Senator Jim DeMint? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/18/demint-tries-to-halt-ban-on-over-counter-asthma-inhaler/
All three million primatene users should have been on the phone to their senators and congress people. I made my call. I highly doubt a lot of others did.
Now the big pharm asthma medicine manufacturers have all three million primatene users on the hook for the more expensive prescription garbage that doesn't work.
People, pay attention to what your government is doing. PLEASE.
I see people blaming Obama and recent politicians. The Montreal Protocol banning CFCs was done during the REAGAN presidency (with good old Bush as VP).
There is still no justifiable reason that I have found that justifies putting millions of asthma and COPD sufferers at risk to save a miniscule amount of CFC being released into the atmosphere after filtering through our lungs. I was given an inhaler of Symbicort. It contains fomotoral which I am apparently allergic to. After doing a treatment of the Symbicort my lungs almost completely froze up and it was only the Primatene mist that was close at hand that saved my life. I had to do several doses to eventually counteract the effects of the fomotoral.
We need a replacement for Primatene Mist NOW ... not tomorrow, not next week or month ... NOW ... Has it now come to Asthmatics and COPD sufferers become the new test market to see if people in the U.S. have become numb enough to endorse genocide ???
So...I just found out about this inhaler ban, I use Primatene Mist as my alternative to Rx inhalers. I went all over the place looking for Primatene Mist to no avail (still waiting on a doctor visit to the VA which is scheduled a month and half from now.) First of all when I was in the military the docs prescribed to me albuterol inhalers to control what is dubbed by us service members "the Iraqi Hacki" which has asthmatic symptoms of wheezing coughing hacking & more.
The military officials try to say it's allergies but when I was taking all sorts of OTC & Rx allergy meds, none of them worked. However, the inhaler the docs prescribed miraculously did.
Well the problem I face now that I'm just a veteran is that the inhaler & doc visit is expensive, if you're a veteran like me & go to the VA , you're lucky to get a visit in a reasonable amount of time (1-3 months wait time usually & longer if they cancel your appointment for some reason.)
Anyways with the time & cost that goes into getting an inhaler I found Primatene Mist (which has saved me in a pinch) & now they want to take that from me. I really hope the makers of Primatene Mist help out all asthmatics & us veterans returning from the war who use Primatene till they can get seen IF they can even afford it (I was living in my car for a while so you know how desperate things can be.) I just hope I don't get caught without my expensive Rx inhaler or get in a bind while waiting on the slow pokes in the VA to get me my inhaler.
Makers of Primatene PLEASE come back to the market expediantly! We need you!!!! Being able to breathe is a hell of a thing.
i pray they find an alternative. i am an over the road truck driver and i depend very highly on primatene. i am always going from one climate to another. i have had asthma my hole life. primatene is the one thing that i could get almost any where and fairly easy with the truck. now i am forced to drive local for far less money. so i am close to help my breathing gets really out of hand. thank you to everyone who had a hand in taking this away. this has put a financial strain on my family that was not needed. (present economy). like things arent tough enough right now.
we need to get primatene back,asap, for people who dont have insurance,thanks to the people who took primatene away.
we are talking about half ounce bottles hat could save a hundred lives each. Thanks Al.
'...doesn't serve an essential health need.' Are they kidding? Have they ever spoken to someone with asthma about what it is like to be caught with acute symptoms without your inhaler? I would have needed at least 20 or 30 hospital visits during my childhood if not for the ability to buy an otc remedy when I needed it. To this day (to the end of 2011, anyway), I depend on being able to treat symptoms in an emergency in any civilized area by buying an inhaler without a prescription. I guess this isn't a civilized country anymore.
People could die because of this nonsense. People, many of them children, WILL suffer and fill up emergency rooms with something they could treat in an instant.
I wonder how many factories pour out cfc's to manufacture luxury goods while asthmatics suffer without a potentially lifesaving measure available to them - a lifesaving measure that is not an essential health need.
So if I promise to stop using hair spray and air fresheners and all other aerosols, can I have my inhaler back? Because I'm a single mom who is underemployed and doesn't have insurance so I can't afford to go pay my doctor $80 to get a $40/month inhaler prescription renewed so I've been relying on Primatene Mist to keep me from dying.
This has nothing to do with the environment. It has to do with MONEY, big pharma, their FDA stooges and the congressmen and senators whom they've bought off. You can't find any epinephrine inhalers anywhere - even Canadian or Mexican pharmacies now. Who were these people who decided that Primatene doesn't serve an essential health need even though it has kept me out of the emergency room several times and worked better for me, and faster, too, than ProAir or Albuterol? April's got the cost factor pretty right: Doctor visit $80. Probably have to throw on lab fees and x-rays to boot, cuz you know how those docs like to help their friends to your money. Cost of script $40-$130 depending on what the doc prescribes. If you don't have insurance you're S.O.L. If you're a member of the working poor, you're still S.O.L. as it's likely you won't qualify for the drug mfr's assistance programs.
Then the follow-up visits, not to mention your time off work and blah blah blah. You get the picture. Don't know how to hurry up Armstrong to produce a new epinephrine-based HFA propellant OTC inhaler - heck, even if they do, that'll probably be a script-only one and we'll still be S.O.L.
An essential health need ????? I have carried a primatene inhaler in my pocket for over 25 years , and not because its the only one available ovc but because I spent most of my childhood in an emergency room or hospital bed when my primatene ran out , I have been thru so many different prescripts , they dont help , its the ephinephrine that I need , not your " albuterol " proventile " ..
What is wrong with you people! Save the ozone layer and kill the people? What kind of garbage is that? That stuff does not go into the atmosphere. It goes into our lungs SO THAT WE CAN BREATHE! Obviously, the people that decided this do not have asthma! And btw, those pills will kill us! The one time I took that, I thought I would have a heart attack! Thanks primatine mist for making this terrible decision and leaving us to suffer and die!
This is a terrible decision... I HOPE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS DECISION TO SAVE THE OZONE OVER HUMAN LIVES ALL HAVE TO SUFFER THE HELL OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE... IM SURE THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL FOR YOU TO SUFFER.
You can't even get it on eBay anymore. But it you search for primatene and americaiswatching they might still have some.
Not an essential health need? WOW They are out of touch with reality. I do think breathing is essential. For me as self employed and not having health insurance, well lets see. First I have to take a day off from work to see a Dr. and they pay for the Dr. and then purchase a prescription which costs me more than twice as much and is not effective. This runs into hundreds of dollars when I use to be able to purchase a product for around $20.00 that worked better for me than any other Rx I have tried. Removing Primatene mist was sad for many people.
I stocked up on extra but that will run out. Off to the physician's
and spend extra money. EXTRA MONEY. Who voted FOR this?
My Primatene has been my relief for less than $20. I will be spending
over $35 for a pharmacy item. Plus pay my PCP. ( Medical scandal.)
Paging black market!!!!
After reading everyone's comment i was surprised that many ppl were having the same problem as me. For the moment i thought it was just me and i was getting tired of hearing "my friend have asthma and if he can do it u can do it too" type of story. Albuteral just doesn't work for me the way primatene mist does. And even worst, i went to a walk-in clinic, one of the doctor never heard of Primatene mist. is a dam shame that some doctors are bombarded with over-promoted meds. I just have to hope and pray that i don't get one of those severe asthma attack and i have to thank god that i am doing a lot better than some of ppl here. Let's pray for the new version of Primatene mist to come out as soon as possible.
I have no words!!! Maybe a few….REALLY? I depended on this inhaler!!! The prescription inhalers don't work for me. I have to use it 3-4 times. It's awesome to know that our government is more worried about the ozone than people. It's not like we can't cut other products that actually go into the air and damage the ozone…….why this one? Oh well, I guess all we can do is wait for the revise version and see…I hope we get a revise version….. :(
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! I have been using this stuff since i was a kid to control my asthma. i have tried prescription after prescription after prescription and they DONT HELP ME. THis stuff was the only way I could get relief and now the FDA has taken it away. This has NOTHING to do with the OZONE people WAKE UP. The FDA works for the Big Pharma. If they create a reason to take it off the shelve they force PEOPLE INTO having to take prescriptin meds. costing us MORE MONEY. making Big Pharma MORE MONEY. The FDA dosent care about the ozone, or the people they are hurting. they only care about there bank accounts.

I have been awake for 3 days because I am having trouble breathing...I have to go to work in the AM, can not afford to go to the doctor, and definitely can not afford $80 for Albuterol. I am absolutely OUTRAGED by this and have coughed and wheezed for almost a week now. I could have used the Primatene Mist JUST ONE TIME and wouldn't have this problem for a month or two. I have tried everything even sitting in a bathroom full of steam. I have used Primatene Mist for over 20 years to control my asthma...I bet if someone died from not being able to breath their family would SUE the a** off the government for this crap! We need to breath now not 1000 years from now! If i end up going into tachycardia (if the FDA even knows what that means) I can promise their WILL be a law suit.
I relie on primatene becouse I can't aford to go to the doctor or the prescriptions. The fda don't care.
wow its good to see im not the only one unhappy about this this is bull the FDA takes away the only thing that works becouse of some hole in the sky but yet we can go to war and let all kinds of crap in the air that way but no primatene for them who breath lol really come on FDA give the us a brake
I have been a Primatene Mist user for as long as it was on the market. Absolute only thing that would relieve my attacks. I even bought a years supply before it left the market in hopes that the new one would be be out in 2012. Well my doctor recently put me on Spiriva and it's a miracle worker for me. Don't have the attacks, seldom need Primatene. Just want someone out there to know the Spiriva may be your answer!!!!
I cant breath and I.have tried all kind of inhalers, nothing is working. I WANT THIS BACK!!! There is people that really need this. Yall should have asked us before taken it away from us..
I,m writing this for my mother who has relied on primatene mist for year and has saved her LIFE several times. She has sinus and allergies really bad and when she has an attack her throat closes shut. Please put this product back on the market, because it could save her life and countless others. Thank You....
So the FDA allows cigarettes and alcohol to be sold over the counter...even though both kill people...but will remove Primatene mist from the shelves because it has a small fraction of a chemical that might be harmful to the environment...the least they could do is legalize one of the prescription rescue inhalers that meets the environmental standards to be sold over the counter with out a prescription...Oh wait...someone at the FDA would have to have brains to think of that and enough balls to get it done
Everyone is complaining that this is from the insurance company. Wake up People. The Insurance companies would prefer you use primatene, it keeps theirs cost down, in addition to yours plus the higher premiums from everyone having to now go through a doctor who charges how many hundreds of dollars for a simple visit, the tests you will be required to take to verify you have asthma, the the cost of the higher drugs. All this so the bleeding hearts can save a few trees from those evil asthmatics!
I'm self employed and do not have insurance or a doctor . Primatine works for me for the last 40 years. Now i'm down to a half contaner and will start looking for a doctor that will cannot afford . I'd just love to send the bill to the FDA .
The 11 that voted for the ban must not have asthma. My inhaler now cost me 41.00 a month and does not work at well. I was diagnosis with asthma at 2yr old there was no medication at that time only trips to the hospital for epinephrine then along came Primatine mist and I was saved from the ER visits and not being able to breath. I have been an office manager for medical practices and I see the reps come in loading the cabinet with drugs we can give our patient samples of and most cost our patient to much for them to continue to use.
If the drug companies had there way we would need a prescription for aspirin. But they do bring us great lunches. Thanks drug companies.
FDA why don't you get your proprieties straight and leave the easy stupid stuff alone, use your time to figure out how we can fix our health care system with the outrages cost of insurance.
All, if you're in trouble for a solution: You can still buy liquid epinephrine, and you can still buy nebulizers from medical supply places. This is the solution that Primatene replaced in the 1960's.
This pretty much sucks. Once my stock pile is gone I am dead. I have used this product for 40 years. I have used the others but once they changed the propellent. yeah... suck the whole bottle down, then off to the ER. So worried about the ozone..... hair spray, paint spray, ac etc. bunch of crap. All about control.
I know I used a liquid solution with a hand pump back in the mid to late 50's , and as soon as Primatene came out I used that , I was wonder if what I used as a young child wasn't liquid epinephrine .. I sure wish I new how or where to get it from , I have a nebulizer for albuterol ...... If anyone knows where to get the liquid please let me know .. It would be greatly appreciated, I don't know what I am going to do when my Primatene runs out , The other medications just do not work for me , and some have terrible side effects , I tried many of them .. I need epinephrine
my email is email@example.com
Thanks Good Luck to Us all in the wait for a new and improved Primatene Mist
I have used Primatene for as long as its been on the market , before that I used a hand pump with a liquid, not sure what it was , I was just too young to remember ... But Don said you can still purchase epinephrine, I would sure like to know where .. I have a nebulizer which I use for albuterol which doesn't seem to work well for me at all ..If anyone knows where it can be purchased please send me an email @ firstname.lastname@example.com I would greatly appreciate it.. I don't know what I am going to do when my Primatene runs out ... I pray they get something approved asap... ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
Get to wal-Mart or CVS and get Asthmanefrin starter kit. Works like PM with no CFC issues. Cost under $50.00 for atomizer and 10 vials of meds.
Yeah, the prescription stuff just did NOT work for me at all. I took the pills which raised my blood pressure and made me emotionally and physically miserable. There's a new otc alternative I doubt I'm allowed to mention by name but it has a battery powered small nebulizer and works GREAT! Same active ingredient as primatene mist. OH, I see mike has mentioned it. Saved my life!
I'm back again with another post. I've tried the new Asthmanefrin and I've had issues with it. I bought the starter kit ($48) and went through the ten vials in three days. The first couple of times I used it the mist poured out so much I coughed and choked on it. Then the mist became less and less. What they don't clearly state is that you can't leave the chemical in the dispenser for long periods of time, it clogs the mesh. After each use you have to discard any left over chemical and soak the dispenser. I wasted 6 of the ten vials in the starter pack. Ok, went out and bought the refill box of 30 vials($26). Today I wasted 4 vials and half a day trying to get the damn thing unclogged. This is becoming one expensive and time consuming ordeal. With the Pramatene Mist, it was one spray in the morning and I was good for the whole day. Another spray before bed and I slept through the night. Once in a while I needed a spray during the day. That little 2 oz bottle lasted me 3 to 3 1/2 months @ $17 a bottle. This new Asthanefrin is going to cost about $50 a month, and each application only lasts about 2 to 3 hours. I'm sitting her wondering if this chemical can be used with a different nebulizer, or maybe mixed with distilled alcohol or water and put in a pump action sprayer. Ok, ok I'll admit, even at $50 a month and a nebulizer that barely works it's a lot better than suffocating to death.

May 2013 (Volume 65, Number 1)
Millions of people throughout the world mourned the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez on March 5, 2013. Monthly Review responded at the time with numerous pieces posted on MRzine. We would like, however, to record here briefly something of MR's own special relationship to the late president, and what we think constitutes his indelible legacy to socialism in the twenty-first century. MR's unique connection to Chávez was largely through the influence of István Mészáros—whose relationship to Chávez stretched back for over twenty years, and whom Chávez called "the pathfinder of 21st century socialism"—and through Marta Harnecker and Michael Lebowitz, who both served as consultants to Chávez.… More than a decade followed in which the socialist revolution under Chávez moved forward, creating huge material, social, and cultural improvements for the Venezuelan population, and vastly increased the power of the people over their own lives through new socialist institutions…. The most vital revolutionary achievement in these years was the introduction of the famous "communal councils"—the general idea for which, as Chávez himself stressed on numerous occasions, was taken from Mészáros's Beyond Capital.

Wall: I feel like a kid on Christmas Day, Busbee. Like you, I had to go through my list to see who was still available, and wouldn't you know it, I found some 23-year-old phenom waving his hands, screaming "Pick me! Pick me!" That phenom would be Rory McIlroy. Down two points, I think it's time to roll with one of golf's big guns this week. McIlroy finished T-10 the last time Bethpage Black hosted a major tournament, and I think his past success, coupled with his incredible form of late, make him a must-pick.
Busbee: It's getting to that point in the year where I have to go back and check my roster to make sure I haven't already picked one of my best options, so imagine my delight when I saw that I hadn't yet taken Keegan Winthrop McAleister Bradley IV! Keegs is picking up the pace at exactly the right time, and Bethpage (sorry, "The Black") is the kind of course that plays to his tee strengths. He's one of the few first-time major winners of the last few years who appears determined to make a go of this top-level golf thing. A Tour Championship would fit nicely into his career arc, but for now, we'll settle for a good round.
Last week: Carl Pettersson's T-4 at the Wyndham Championship helped Wall pick up a critical point before the FedExCup playoffs. Busbee decided to go with David Toms, who repaid our Showdown leader's confidence with ... a missed cut.
Current score: Busbee - 12.0, Wall - 10.0.
Already Used: Wall - Gary Woodland, K.J. Choi, Martin Laird, Nick Watney, Lee Westwood, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson, Luke Donald, Ryan Moore, Jim Furyk, Webb Simpson, Sean O'Hair, Tiger Woods, Hunter Mahan, Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Carl Pettersson, Rory McIlroy. Busbee - Nick Watney, Webb Simpson, Bill Haas, Ben Crane, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Zach Johnson, Luke Donald, Robert Karlsson, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker, Lee Westwood, Brandt Snedeker, Bubba Watson., Tiger Woods, David Toms, Keegan Bradley.

After one wash I'm already impressed!4/04/2012
I got a sample of this conditioner in a previous order and gave it a try over the weekend. My hair is chemically treated (dyed every 6 weeks) and thick n' wavy, so my hair frizzes pretty easily. One treatment with this conditioner and my hair is so sleek and shiny. Even my dry ends are mended! I've had four people compliment my hair in the past few days, asking if I've cut it or styled it differently and that it looked great. The conditioner really is a mini-makeover for your hair. You can't beat the shine! And I'm so happy to run my fingers through my hair and not feel any broken ends. I'd recommend using a bit less of the conditioner on your first go-around, I think I used a bit much and some of my hair ended up looking a bit oily, even after I blow-dried it. But that was my mistake. Overall, really pleased & plan to purchase a bigger bottle to keep in my shower at all times!
Pros: Hydrating, Great smell, Add shines, Manages frizz
Cons: Less is more: otherwise product can add build up

I'm not even sure why 2001 is on that list. Must be a nod to the geriatric crowd, eh? (Just kiddink!) Alien seems to be the hands-down winner so far, despite the fact that Aliens (the sequel) was MUCH better... and Terminator doesn't even get a mention? Huh. But Blade Runner still beats 'em all!
There's no accounting for some peoples' taste in scifi, I guess.
PingBack from http://msdnrss.thecoderblogs.com/2008/01/11/alien-no-way-blade-runner-was-far-better/
I'm a slave to the popular vote. Star Wars wins it for me.
The acid test, Jamie, is which episode? If you name any episode with Jar-Jar Binks in it, you are SOOO fired. Heh!
Oh hang on...they only offer 3 choices. I HATE surveys like that. "Pick your favourite widget even though your realy favourite isn't available to pick". Bah!
The best? Gotta be "Empire..." hasn't it? Sadly I was only a wee nipper when I first saw them all so I wasn't able to appreciate the subtle differences. To me they all Han Solo and Chewbacca in so I was happy! I was never particularly a fan of Luke!

Aging Is a Real Pain in the Neck. . .
Mark Liszt, a food broker from Los Angeles, has had operations on both knees and a toe. A doctor has suggested a total replacement of his right knee, but he's afraid it will affect his ability to play ball. At 59, Liszt can't stop. On Tuesdays and Fridays, he plays basketball with guys who are sometimes half his age. On Saturday, he hobbles around all day with serious knee pain. Friends and family have referred him to doctors, but he's stayed away. "I don't want to be told what a fool I am," he says.
Like many in his generation, Liszt wants to be more active than his father, whom he says he can't imagine playing sports at this age. Playing basketball, he says, makes him feel young and keeps him in shape. His inspiration is an 81-year-old teammate, Moe, who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp and is still a force on the court. "I said I'll just keep playing basketball until I can't," Liszt recalls telling the doctor who recommended the knee replacement. "I want to be like Moe." So for now, he's decided to live with the aches and pains.

Why can't you just be faithful? Any man who has ever been on the receiving end of that question, whether dodging crockery or wiping away his wife's tears, knows that some women would really like an answer. Do men who cheat really outnumber their female counterparts? Does infidelity in marriage come more naturally to men than women? And do some husbands think that "monogamy" is a board game? "There's no question that men cheat more than women," says Steven Nock, PhD, a professor of sociology...
Read the Our Cheatin' Hearts article > >
For men approaching midlife, orthopedic surgeon Stephanie Siegrist, MD, has some good news: You can stay active and feel younger. But you'll have to put some work into it. "I encourage patients not to think, I'm getting older, I'm deteriorating," she says. Instead, she urges them to think "As I get older, I must invest more time and effort into maintaining my resilience." Then, rather than diagnosing your own aches and pains, says Siegrist, author of Know Your Bones: Making Sense of Arthritis Medicine, you should seek out doctors who "understand your viewpoint" and will help you maintain a realistic level of physical activity.
Why aging brings aches and pains
As you age, the ligaments and tendons that hold your joints together become "stiff and leathery," says Siegrist. At the same time, osteoarthritis can cause the cartilage in a joint to wear away. Both processes can lead to aching, soreness, and pain. The best way to feel younger, she says, is to condition your body in ways so that if you need to run to catch a plane or shovel the snow in your driveway, your body "doesn't feel overwhelmed by the challenge."

I'm not sure it's politically OK to mention this, now that we've elected President Obama and we're officially in a post-racial age.
But I saw more black people in a recent four-day, 1,600-mile road trip from Atlanta to the Mississippi Delta and back than I have in Pittsburgh in the last year.
The New South, in case any other dumb Yankee besides me hasn't noticed what's been obvious for decades, is far more racially integrated - from top to bottom - than the Old North.
I'm sure this is no newsflash to Georgians, where blacks make up 30 percent of the population, or Mississippians, where blacks comprise 37 percent. But I live in Pittsburgh, the capital city of one of the country's lily-whitest metro regions.
Nearly 90 percent of us western Pennsylvanians are plain old vanilla Caucasian and about 10 percent are black. Latinos and Asians are almost as demographically rare here as Detroit Redwing fans and Eskimos - sorry, Inuit. And in the southern suburbs where I live you can go weeks without seeing a person of any color except white.
I have good reason to have race on my mind - and good reason for making my recent dash through the South.
I was doing research for a book about an amazing, dangerous and long forgotten act of undercover journalism that was pulled off in May of 1948 by Ray Sprigle, a star reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette who died in 1957.
Fourteen years before John Howard Griffin published his famous book "Black Like Me," Sprigle - at age 61 -- disguised himself as a black man and, as he put it, "ate, slept, traveled and lived black" for four weeks in the Jim Crow South.
In August of 1948, Sprigle, a conservative Republican who hated FDR and won a Pulitzer in 1938 for proving that Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black was a loyal member of the KKK, unleashed his highly charged, 21-part nationally syndicated newspaper series.
Headlined "I Was a Negro in the South for 30 Days," and later repackaged as the 1949 book "In the Land of Jim Crow," the series quickly drew the ire of the Southern press and sparked one of the earliest national media debates about the immorality and un-Americanism of segregation.
Sprigle's trusted guide and wheelman through the South's parallel but unequal black universe was 66-year-old John Wesley Dobbs of Atlanta (1882-1961). Already destined for the history books in 1948, he was a prominent and powerful black civil rights leader and activist in Atlanta who today has a street named after him.

I was able to capture more footage of the poltergeist playing with a different phone downstairs. It flew off the counter and I thought I would leave it on the ground to see if it would continue to move it. this floor is tiled with concrete underneath, and you can clearly see there is no string attached, so please don't bother leaving a comment that says "string" or "magnet".
