Hi Balloo

I hope the Trelegy works for you. Research studies have shown that it’s a particularly effective inhaler but not everyone seems to get on with it. Those who can find it brilliant. Others get on better with the other triple inhaler called Trimbow.

Take care and enjoy your Sunday,

I suffer with Emphysema/asthma/Copd and over the years have tried many inhalers.Spiriva gave me bad headaches.I have now been on Trimbow for a while and I find it amazing!I hope Trelegy brings you great relief. Take care and have a good day x

I too am on Trimbow and when it was first prescribed it was a miracle worker for me but now after over 2 years on it not so good.I was due my annual assessment in April but due to Coronavirus it hasn't happened yet and I'm hoping that a change of medication might help me. I'm aware that my copd is a progressive condition so I'll just have to wait and see

I have been put on Trelegy inhaler, I have been using it for about 6 months now, although I prefer 1 inhaler instead of my usual 3, I haven't found it is any different, nothing really gives me complete relief to be honest, but I am told losing some weight might help. Oh I agree with that 😂 I do my excercises every morning, but losing weight at 70 isn't my top priority really. I hope you get relief from using it, keep safe x

Interesting to read about these meds. I started with Spiriva once a day, but now am using a nebulizer with 7% saline solution twice a day instead since it got worse. I use Proair as a rescue inhaler when needed, and lately have been using it about twice a day. Not due for another doctor's visit until June, but haven't been called as a reminder yet probably because of Covid-19. It's very scary to have that deadly thing floating around and not knowing when it will end. Good luck to everyone----maybe they'll find a cure for us someday.

P.S. I've found that drinking coffee helps my headaches although they aren't with me every day, but have them a lot of days in the afternoons mostly.

Oh yes strong proper black coffee. Just made mine gluten free chicken muffin nice too!

[deenyweeny]

That chicken muffin sounds good, I'll try one.
