I was diagnosed with emphysema 2 years ago . Unfortunately . Because of covid a lot of people with COPD have been forgotten ! The NHS is in crisis .

Any suggestions for thin skin issues. My skin will tear from just about anything, even a wrong rub on a pillow. I know that the prednisone has a lot to do with that.

Thanks am seeing Dr next week

I've been taking this for about 6 days now. Having been taken off of Advair and Spiriva together. How long does it take before you feel the full benefits of this medicine? I seem to be feeling more short of breath in the last 6 days then before. Thank you
