Here's my list of why this might be:
- Grew up in the no spacer era
- Carrying a spacer is too inconvenient
- Spacers are too bulky to carry around
- Laziness
- Never showed proper inhaler technique
- Don't know what a spacer is
- Don't know advantages of spacers
- Spacers make being discreet impossible
- Personal preference
- Don't need 175% more medicine
- It works just fine without a spacer
- Can't afford one
Please help me add to this list.
--Spacers make people look at you really weirdly! :P
ReplyDeleteDefinitely with you on the discreet point--I'm reluctant to use even the small MDI in public is one of mine, and the spacer just makes it so much more noticeable!
That said, 90% of the time, I have my spacer with me, and I always have it if I'm going to be away from home for more than a couple hours. I just don't always use it. I do find it makes all the difference if I'm pretty clamped up--for example, if I'm sick, using the puffer alone is often pretty much impossible because I just choke on the meds.
Aside from these times though, I don't really use my spacer as much as I should!
Spacers also make people ask questions!
