There are some things I insist on name brands for because I tried the cheaper brand and it wasn't as good as the name brand.. Other things I don't care because they are the same quality.

In April, I had that allergies attack and the doctor gave me the RX for Flo-Naise nose spray that I have used forever without a problem. They gave me a generic brand and I was happy to have it as long as it worked.. I had no reason to think it wouldn't or that I would have any problems with it.

Until I somehow got choked one day and had the most horrifying thing happen to me. My throat slammed shut and I had to FIGHT like HE** to inhale. The sounds I made trying to inhale scared me to death and I knew this was life or death.. I struggled and struggled to breathe and I managed to get enough air in to keep myself from passing out until it passed. In 2 weeks on this generic Flo-Naise, I had 3 of those spells... Once I realized that, I have not used it again and I never will. I went to the drug store and asked the druggist what ingredients was different in that than the name brand and he said NONE! There IS something different in it that I am terrible allergic to that darn near killed me THREE times in 2 weeks. Some little something IS different that my body reacted to...

I NEED to know what it was that caused that reaction, afraid what will happen if I unknowingly get it again...
