Hi yes I was put on trimbow by a pharmasist in 2020 he phoned me up from docs surgery stating it would be better for me than fostair and spiriva. But after about a year my bones were all aching terrible and struggling to stand up out of chairs. Also my face had swollen up. So I insisted on going back on my previous inhalers and I was fine again after a few weeks. Also my skin was shedding terrible everything i put on within a few hours was white with my skin bits. Unfortunately that has not stopped yet but not quite so bad. I would never take that inhalor again.

yes, I was changed to Trimbow in July and I think my face is puffier. My breathing is not well-controlled and I am using my reliever inhaler more. I am going to ask whether I should go back on my previous inhaler.
