Damn. That's beyond what anyone should have to deal with.
I count at least 50 inhalers here. Salbutamol is supposed to work for up to 5 hours. Figuring each inhaler is 100 pulls and each pull lasts for 4 hours - even if you pull twice - you've got more than a year's supply in 50 inhalers.
Not saying it's BS, but I'm really concerned you've been misdiagnosed or if a better treatment is available.
You need to be put on steroid inhaler my friend. Having to use too much salbutamol (or albuterol if you speak inches and Fahrenheit) is a sign of poorly controlled asthma.
These inhalers are ‘relievers’, you need a ‘preventive’ inhaler as others have mentioned. I’ve always been told I shouldn’t be taking a reliever more than one a week at worst. An effective preventive inhaler should manage your condition much better. Good luck.
