Trelegy vs spiriva respimat with Symbicort

I posted recently about being given Trelegy as the spiriva respimat didn’t seem to help? Although I was only on it two months???? I was then given Trelegy however two months later my fev1 has dropped as I visited copd nurse this morning - she said give until the spring? Yet the spiriva respimat she didn’t say this took me off it even though Fev1 was same?? How weird ! I mentioned this and was told winter you’ll always feel worse?

Ok I’m going to give it a bit longer as the replies you great people provided me with were mixed so I’ll plod on.

Yoga is great - I feel at least I’m doing something

I’ve posted a picture of Mollie for any of you fur people. Happy Friyay 😊

Loving the picture of Mollie who is very similar to Scruffy but far more glamorous,they both even have that slight dribble from the right eye which does not appear to affect or discomfort them but which has me reaching out for a wet wipe now and again to remove. much to scruff's annoyance i might add. x

I'm afraid I know little about your trilogy inhailer but the spiriva is supposed to act like a long lasting ventolin , I'm assuming being such makes it act in the background where you wont feel the " hit" like you do with ventolin but slowly does its job .

We all suffer more in winter than in the summer months PR1, I had a really good summer but this winter has been one round of steroids after another, very trying to say the least ,

Nice photo of Mollie, is she the green eyed monster she looks ? Lol joking of course but I still wouldn't like to cross her or be a mouse caught in her hypnotic eyes, have a nice day

Thanks... I did a clinical trial years ago for Trelegy and I got the placebo- so when the nurse mentioned it I was way too enthusiastic. Of course Boxing Day knocked me down with a chest infection which lasted till last week - which I seem to always get at Christmas - then about three in the year. I’ll give it a go.

Mollie my floofer she isn’t at all mean she plays a lot of catch me if you can - but it’s her brother Hector who brings the poor mice in and then I scream and it’s a case of save the mouse 🐁

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

Hector has a good pedigree in his name , in Greek mythology he was a prince of troy, just a piece of trivia for you,

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

Great!!! Hector the Prince

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

DONT tell him, he will have you fetching his meals on a silver platter 🐈

Beautiful! I am envious.. I had to have my lovely cat Tiggi put to sleep 2 months ago. She was over 20 years old. I really miss her. Enjoy your lovely Mollie, I bet she's such a comfort.

[pepparuby1]

Oh such a good age but so sad losing our beautiful fur babies 😔

Sending hugs as I know nothing about inhalers.

But.... Mollie is one beautiful stunning cat love to have her on the bed keeping my feet warm!

[pepparuby1]

[judes]
