and something called a flutter? I also learn names of different meds and inhalers. You can learn a lot just by reading the questions and answers

The Triliogy is a non-invasive ventilator, often prescribed for people who have problems with CO2 retention. It can be closely calibrated to the user and is a much better choice than a bi-pap which is often used for the same thing. Debbie is right that if you google those terms you will get pictures and descriptions.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member you can purchase a nebulizer at any pharmacy however if you want insurance and/or Medicare to pay for it you will need prescription.

The only Trelegy I know of is a inhaler that came out not too long ago. Hearing good things about it. I am currently using Symbicort and Spiriva Respimat both are meds for COPD. In the past I have used Bevespi, Stiolto Respimat, Advair and Spriva Handihaler (This is the old one).

Thanks RolandL. My problem with the neb meds I am using is that they don't seem to be as effective as they used to. I have been using them in the neb or as inhalers for 20 years. I am often still out of breath when I finish the nebulizer. So maybe I need a change or something stronger. Anyway, I will discuss this with my DR when I see him in 2 weeks. I was curious about the portable units. Thanks for the info.
