Why did the doctor feel the chamber was necessary?

I dont really know. Maybe - it was routine to give that samples away.
So I can use direct from the Symbicort directly? As Mrs. D said, its hard to synchronize the inhalation and the pressing of hte cannister.
The doctor requested for a Sjorgren's test, among other tests. It may be negative again. Let's see.....How does Sjorgren's affect the lungs?
Thanks.
