I do want to add that I appreciate this site. It's free, and we all get a lot from it. We and the people who own it. It is a godsend and probably a life saver. It could be so much better. At one time… read more
I am currently taking Spiriva and Symbicort daily. The costs have skyrocketed. I can save $100 if I switch to Trelegy. Question is, will it be as effective? I'm a little worried to change over so any opinions would be welcomed. My doctor is willing to let me try. Thanks.
I’ve been on Trelegy for a bit and I’ve had decent luck with it. I got a savings card on their website and pay $5 a month for it.
I have emphysema
I only use it when I have infections and flare ups, which seems to be a lot lately.
I would have the sea and beaches I have the opportunity to travel in the next year. What would be some suggestions for places to travel with COPD I have moderate copd and am on oxygen at night.
I live in Canada and would be flying out of Calgary.
Would love to hear of any semi-tropical or sea side places I could visit.
Get a portable O2 machine that has a battery with a long life mine has 10 hours and i've travelled with it No problems
I am a 71 years young, retired, male. Survived two strokes in 2009, multiple bouts of pneumonia, and (end of life)stage emphysema. Currently on 5L oxy, 24/7. Minimum activity will take my pulse/ox to low 80/upper 70. I have to immediately stop to recover back to mid 90. We are considering a move back to our home area in the Omaha, NE region. What challenges will I face in the change in altitude, pressure, air quality, dryness, etc.
Appreciate any comments, input.

Keep you a bottle of anise star essential oil and when you feel nauseous take a whiff or 2. For some reason felt nauseous last week and immediately took a couple whiffs and went right away. Tamiflu… read more
