I think we should be allowed to be more responsible for our own meds. When I was in hospital last year I was taken off all my meds, and then most were reintroduced, except from the blood pressure tablets. I’d been on them for years, but in the last 15 months my blood pressure has been normal!

I agree with you as well. But it's important to try and keep moving and mobile as much as possible. I have a car to get me out and about but still walk around local markets and supermarkets and garden centres . It all helps to keep your lungs from going worse. Brian

Thinking of you and hoping you are able to take a little exercise which will help with your breathing. Cuddles to your darling dog. xx

All I will say is new medications are coming out all the time. There may be a newer one with few side effects that could help with your breathing. Be honest with your doctor that you stopped taking previous meds, when you read about possible side effects. In any event you felt no different after you stopped.

Take care 👍☺️

Hello from Colorado USA. I have had COPD for approximately 17 years. I haven't posted on this site for quite a while just because we are so "busy" in retirement. I quit looking at a lot of information on forums because it can drive you nuts!! When I was first diagnosed, I read that I would only live about 2 years.....here I am 17 years later. Keeping positive has a lot to do with how you survive this disease.
