I have not. Sounds like something that would help me.

If your eosinophil rates indicate it could be useful, it's certainly worth a try. My guess is that it's probably going to be indicated much more for asthma than for COPD, but some people with COPD could use it succe3ssfully as well.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member no I wouldn't know, the only breathing tests I have ever had were blowing through tubes and didn't take two hours , perhaps its a newer test than I have had as I haven't had them more than twice and its been awhile, breathe easy friend

I have a 2 hour breathing test coming up.I never have had one that takes 2 hours.Do you know what it is?

no, I haven't heard about it either but I have had prednisone a few times in tablet form for my flare ups, is prednisone something that one should cut down on?
