Ivy,
I live in Jacksonville know what you mean! All of NE Florida has been put on a state of emergency. The smoke is getting to me too. My dr put me back on Advair yesterday. Even that is a pain in the butt. This is a step backward- and it is FRUSTRATING. You are in my prayers and I'm sending big hugs too. Remember: THIS IS TEMPORARY!! You will get there. becki
