Trimbow

[pepparuby1]

I posted last week but I think it went to the wrong place? Drs have swapped symbicort for Trimbow as she said it could be making my breathing worse??? Anyone had experience of this?

To top it all I caught covid!! Ugh

[Badbessie]

My inhaler as been changed a number of times. With inhalers there is no one size fits all. I was changed to Trimbow about six months ago and it made a great difference to my breathing. I would give it a month and see how it goes. Hopefully getting COVID will not complicate the situation. After just recovering from COVID myself plenty of fluids and rest is advised.

Thanks for that. I do feel breathing is better

As you say we are all different.. for me Trimbow is no good at all.. ventolin is my saviour.. i also use fostair & seabreeze & keep going .. love 💕 to you xx

My peak flow for years didn't get over 360. When I was changed to Trimbow 18 months ago its gradually improved. In December it reached 430 the best I've had for over 10 years. I don't need Ventolin anymore, so very happy on it.

Brilliant!! There’s hope for me

Can I ask if Trimbow is powder based please? The hospital want Pete to try a different inhaler but he can’t tolerate the powder ones. He’s hoping to see the asthma nurse soon to try out different ones.

Hoping things work out for you and you recover from covid very soon. Xxx❤️😘

Trmbow comes in a powder and liquid format. I can' cope with powder inhalers either. Trimbow is great for me.

Thank you Kismet xxxx

I can't tolerate the powder ones either Carole, my Respiratory nurse has changed my inhalers Ventolin and Sirdupla which I have taken since I was diagnosed 14yrs ago. My breathing and mobility has got worse over the past year so praying the new inhalers will help. Haven't received them yet waiting on prescription to be changed. I have been prescribed drinks to help with my weight loss. I'll let you know how I get on . Love to you and Pete xxSheila 🙌💕

[sassy59 in reply to garshe]

Thank you for replying Sheila and hoping things improve for you very soon. Good luck with your new inhalers. Sending lots of love and gentle hugs to you.

I don’t know it’s like the ventolin blue inhaler just air?

[sassy59 in reply to pepparuby1]

Thank you xxx

[Suzie42 in reply to sassy59]

Hector the elderly orange and white is a right bossy boots!

I bet the family isn't the same since Mollie died.

[pepparuby1 in reply to Turnipgirl]

We’re getting there! The dynamics have change and now I have two Maine coon crazies and Hector puts them in their place. Merlin loves Hector and likes to lay with him but Hector smacks him 😂😳. Hector has been quiet of late but today he was playful

[Turnipgirl in reply to pepparuby1]

Hector was named appropriately the way he used to Hector poor little Pepparuby the panther and now the kittens!

[Alberta56]

Hope the covid's not too bad. Rest up and tell the cats to pamper you. xxx

[Turnipgirl in reply to Alberta56]

I suspect looking back we all had it back in 2019 just before it was christened but at the time we thought we had bad colds!

[watergazer]

Hope you’re feeling better soon pepparuby. No idea about those inhalers x
