Hi Lizzric, I can't help on the inhaler, I haven't used it.

As for the valves there are only a few people on the site that have had the procedure as it's only just being rolled out properly.

Type 'valves,' into the search box and it will bring up all posts about it.

Good luck with the valves, from what I have read on here and other sites, the difference they can make is wonderful xx
