Never had the Inhaler. Had bronchitis once. Had the nebulizer Using albuterol.
So I do not know anything about it being half full.
I'm sorry. I know very little about inhalers, but I'm trying to learn.
It is basically a machine that makes the medication mist up, and you breath it in through a mouth piece for about 15 minutes.
To me it looks like a big fat cigar!
Oh goodness Loghead. Peanut allergies are serious business.
I've heard of cases where children who eat any kind of food containing peanuts can have severe (or as you said fatal) symptoms.
I do consider myself VERY lucky in that respect since year round allergies won't kill me. They're miserable to have, but at least I don't have to worry about losing my life to them.
By the way, a neighbor of mine was able to take me to the drugstore for my nasal spray and Albuterol. I took both about an hour ago and then slept for 15 minutes. I feel considerably better now. I think the addition of both of these meds are exactly what I need in order to experience some relief throughout the day and night.
At any rate, I'm just glad both of them work as well as they do.
I've only taken one dose of each and can already tell a huge difference in the way I feel.
Having said all of that, I have a question for you. Is your EpiPen difficult to use? Does it hurt when you give yourself injections?
The reason I ask is because I have paranoia when it comes to needles. I experience severe panic attacks to the point where I need a nurse to tell me exactly when she will stick me with a needle because if she doesn't, I start to hyperventilate.
This time of year must not be fun at all. How much longer do you think that your allergies will affect you this season? I hope not long!
I have once accidentally placed an EpiPen inside myself though, but like I said, it was not done professionally. We own a fake EpiPen that is used for practice where a needle does not come out, so one day my brother was playing around with it. Later on in the day my brother had asked me how I used the EpiPen, so I assumed that it was the practice one. So I said, "Here's how it works!" and I take the back off and jab it into my thigh. It was real. The practice one was on the counter. I pulled the EpiPen out as fast as I had put it in. Needless to say, I was angry!! I remember that there was a bruise left and that was what hurt more than the actual needle.
Yes, my peanut allergy is very unpredictable... so it is possible that with a small dose I could just get sick, or severly sick, but death is also a high possibility. I just make sure to avoid anything that contains or may contain peanuts.
It's good to hear that after taking some medicine and sleeping that you were feeling better, HA!
I have never used one professionally because, thankfully, I have never had to. You need to put it in by yourself, and you place it in your upper thigh right through your pants (you are just looking for convenience so that you can get the medicine in yourself as quick as possible). Then you must hold the needle in your thigh for a good 15 seconds, which I am assuming are probably the longest 15 seconds ever.
It is a large needle and it does hurt from what I remember, but I only had it in for 0.01 seconds.
for telling me about the EpiPen. I don't know much about them, so I'm glad you were able to help educate me. 
I have all of the windows open in my apartment and I'm not even congested, sneezing or coughing.
You're very welcome! And it is so good to hear that you are feeling much better.
