I'd rather not be the youngest horse in the glue factory...not much of a distinction.

I seem to be very sensitive to the dry powders. When I use Foradil my denture gets very tight. I have used it before I put the denture in and after, rinsed before and after but to no avail. It must make the tissue swell a little. Sort of like using a denture powder which I don't need. Wonder if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks for the info Vic. My doctor just changed some of my meds and I didn't get very good instruction on how to use the powder VS aerosol.
I can see how the proper breathing technique Will make a big difference the medication into the lungs.

Hi Ken -- It's so good to hear from you again, we all missed you and glad to have you back. I haven't been posting too much lately, busy as all hades as a care-giver and it's not too easy to post much.
Again, welcome back and I hope you keep improving. -- Vic
