Hi All, seen my consultant last week but it was a temp guy as regular fella on annual leave. This consultant wasn't very nice, knew nothing about me. And then said we would leave things as they are. I said will I'm on Steride all the time, and still can't do things, so surely it's not working. His answer was no we leave them as they are. So, after a few tears I said my doctor wrote to add on another inhaler cause I'm not coping, so eventually he asked do you want me to change your inhaler ( though I was the patient). So he put me on the Duo Spiromax, so I was nervous to change. On it a week now and I'm doing more than normal without the usual symptoms. Bit breathless at times but feel good. Afraid to get too excited, as I usually start off good. So just on Spiromax and Sprivia now, anyone else on Spiromax ???? How do you find it!! Another note about the doctor, cause I was upset he asked had I ever gotten treatment for my anxiety, how I didn't hit him I don't know. I was frustrated and upset cause they don't listen and I was on the same medication for the last two years, and wasn't well at all.. He had no bed side manners at all.

Have you thought about making an offical complaint. He will carry on in this manner unless somone reports it and he is taught how to behave with patients he is a doctor not god and needs to be told when he is getting it wrong. I hope you are feeling better after that upsetting experience
Hi
Was changed to Spiromax a while ago, not because of my condition but as it’s cheaper
Never really noticed a difference in symptoms but was gritty and I had sore mouth etc
However a scan showed I have developed Bronchiectasis so med changed to trelegy which is more COPD type medication
I know others on spiromax who get on with it. Just gargle well after use

I too have bronchiectasis snd asthma. On spiriva as well. Never heard of Trelegy
Think only became available in last 12 months but not for Asthma alone in the U.K.
mostly for COPD but being prescribed now for cases like ours. It’s once a day and for me seems to be working.
Perhaps worth mentioning to Astma/ chest nurse if you have one.

You should have hit him.consultants have soft bits too.normally when you hit them they listen to patients,strange sort of logic but it always works.good luck.
