Hi I have just been on Ventolin blue top inhaler for about 5 years now and have one single one puff in the evenings about 8-9 pm and then again early hours in the morning 3-4-5 am has get breathless and wheezy, so just one single puff twice a day so can sleep better when laying down.
So have been on the just Ventolin every day for some years has always been good for me.
Just before Christmas I had what i think was my first scary chest infection has could not hardly breath and the Ventolin was doing nothing so i phoned ambulance and they came and put nebuliser mask on me and after 10 minutes I was ok but told me to start my emergency antibiotics and prednislone tablets.
After about 6 days I was back to normal and feeling good and back on my Ventolin has normal, and end of January I went for my breathing test and results were still mild but the nurse suggested I should try another inhaler Incruse ellipta 55 one puff every 24 hours has she said then should not have to take my Ventolin every day just has and when needed
I have been on Incruse ellita powder inhaler now for 4 months and it is doing me no harm but still have to take my ventoline one puff twice a day has before, so I cannot see why I should be inhaling incruse ellita if my Ventolin is doing its job for me
So thinking of stopping the incruse ellipta has just don't want to inhale anything more yet if I don't need to but will talk to my nurse when all of this virus is over.
I know it don't work for everyone but at the moment just my Ventolin has always been good for me and one cannister can last me 3 months.
Very best wishes everyone and good luck if that is what we need at the moment
