Trimbow

When I started Trimbow I noticed a difference right away on how I wasn’t coughing so much as I didn’t feel as I had been feeling that I needed to clear my airways all the time. It took about 2/3 months before I really felt a big improvement. I hadn’t been able to walk from my kitchen to living room without feeling really breathless the thought of showering etc was an effort. I’m now feeling so much better and relieved as I thought I was on a slippery slope and would only get worse. I realise that it could be a coincidence but I am enjoying the moment

I am so glad for you. I relate to the breathlessness etc - re how even a shower is a struggle. To get past this is a big big step forward and a happier place to be.

Brilliant, this was the same for me. Trimbow has helped me massively. Although I'm not a usual candidate for this inhaler as only have mild to moderate asthma, but was given it as I have IPF, they say inhaler no good for fibrosis, but before taking it my peak flow was about 300 it is now 420, so I feel I can breath more easily.

That's an amazing peak flow score! Well done! How long have you been on Trimbow for? I was originally put on Trelegy in April but that wasn't doing much for me as the dry medicine made me gag. My COPD nursee changed me to Trimbow which I thought was helping but then, last month, the Consultant changed me to Fostair which didn't seem to do anything at all. I'm back to Trimbow again now but it doesn't seem to got back to the way that it used to help yet. My peak flow dropped by over 100 when I was on Fostair. I'm on about 280-300 again now.
