Doc,

I have had asthma all my life. In the olden days (60's), the drug of choice besides Epi was Marax. Still around from what I hear. Many trips to the ER with sometimes up to 6 injections of Epi with the last one being Susphrine (sp?), this along with what I use to call the "Green" machine to assist with the inhalation therapy. Cannot remember what the inhaler was called that I use to carry around as child. Anybody know?

Now days, I use Ventolin prn, usually before I run.

No Singular as I get pnuemonia as a side effect.

Asthma is what kept me from getting in the Army way back when.

Now, here is question for all of you QP's.

Should "controlled" asthma keep an individual from getting into the Army, Rangars, and SF?
