@A MyCOPDTeam Member, sorry to hear about your problems with steroids, I do understand since they make us hungry and we eat all the time. My doctor is going to take me off of all steriods soon and I am only on 2.5Mg maintenance dose now. My breathing is not as good without the oral steriods, so may tell him I want to stay on enough to help with that.

Thank you @A MyCOPDTeam Member I also have been on very high doses 40Mg for months at a time, when I had pneumonia. Just ready to breath again. Hope you have a blessed day.
