How Can Asthma Patients Save Money

How Can Asthma Patients Save Money 

Stop smoking

On top of rising cigarette prices, you could be paying for extra medication that doesn’t work as well. We all know smoking makes asthma worse but less known is that smoking reduces the effectiveness of asthma inhalers.   

Eat the right kinds of foods 

There’s no evidence that avoiding dairy foods or taking supplements will improve asthma. Don’t pay extra for dairy-free or gluten-free foods if you don’t have a diagnosed allergy or intolerance. If you are overweight, losing 10 kilos can improve your asthma significantly. 

Know your nose 

 Speak to your doctor and pharmacist about clearing your nose. An itchy, runny or blocked nose due to allergies can make your asthma harder to control, leading to more or stronger medication.  

Get flu shot 

Many asthma flare-ups are caused by colds and flu viruses. Flu vaccinations are free for the over 65’s and people with severe asthma. 

 Use a spacer with your puffer 

A puffer with a spacer works just as well as a nebulizer but is simpler and cheaper. When you use a spacer with your puffer you get up to more of each dose than using a puffer alone.   

 Ask your doctor and pharmacist to check your inhaler technique 

 Getting your technique right could mean each reliever puffer lasts longer and you need to buy less. Nine out of ten people aren’t getting the full dose from their inhalers, even those who have been using asthma puffers for years. You may be wasting medication. 

Talk to your doctor and pharmacist about costs 

Most medications are more expensive than others. There may be an alternative such as a generic medicine. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about medical costs.

Best Places to Find Last-Minute Scholarships

Local organizations

Local organizations often won’t have a recipient, so they’ll most likely extend their deadline and they don’t always advertise that. Find organizations in your hometown that award scholarships. Start by inquiring with your high school’s guidance office or college career center to find community-based scholarships that have gone unclaimed. 

Scholarship search engines and contests

Monthly scholarship contests may pop up on search engines, too. They’re simple to enter. Normally awards are around $1,000.  Find late-deadline scholarships using search engines like the U.S. Department of Labor’s CareerOneStop scholarship finder, College Board Big Future scholarship search tool, Scholarships.com, FastWeb, and FinAid. Never enter a contest or apply for a scholarship online if you’re required to submit money or private information, like your Social Security number; that may signal a scam. 

Your employer or your parents’ employer

If you’re working yourself, find out if there is a scholarship program for employees. Ask your parents if their employers have scholarships available. Some companies have employer-sponsored scholarship programs for members of their employees’ families.
