Hi guys this is just a short update on my Emphysmea I had been having lots of problems and my go was not to good at taking notice but out nurse that does my spryomerty test sent me to see a copd nurse .( sorry not to good at spelling ) . She said I should not be on the inhaler I was on and preserved 2 new ones after a week of waiting for my docs to read her letter and dispense them I had a bad attack in this heat could not breath and collapsed I am now on foxtair 100 mg twice a day morning and night also at night only incruse 55mg have felt so much better since taking them and nor using my vetalon as much in day time. Has any one else had these and if so have you had any reactions to them. Also I just want to say a big thanks to all that have sent me answers to my last pots thank you all.

I have Spiriva, Fostair and Bricanyl (the only alternative to Salbutimol or Ventolin). Fostair is the "star of the show" for me and really does the business, without it I would be helpless. I found Ventolin became progressively ineffective over time, it just gave me severe leg cramps at night that could last for hours and still felt the pain of muscle strain from it the next day, only to rinse and repeat the next night. Bricanyl is the short acting rescue inhaler and a 100 dose inhaler might last me for 3 months or more.

after reading your post again I can now remember having leg crams in night and still sore in morning I did not put it down to the Ventolin but now you say that it makes sence . thank you .

I am on Fostair twice a day really works for me. The only time I use the ventolin is when I am pushing things exercising.
