New inhaler

[jimmyg23]

I have asked today by my respiratory nurse today to try new inhaler in stead of encrust and seretide it is called trelegy I am wonder if anybody else is on it and what they think of it

[shadow4me]

I have been on this for a month now horrid taste and sadly no improvement but every one is different xx

Thank you I can only give it a try

I have been using it for about a year now and it is working out quite well for me. I really like that I use it only once a day.

I was put on it about 6 months ago and I've been fine. Before I was on 2 Incruise inhalers so it's easier just taking the one. Good luck

I used it for a month ,then had to come off it ,it did nothing for me

I was put on it a month ago could walk quicker and longer been to see the COPD nurse today and told her my SATS are down to 93/4 which she confirmed normally 97 so she has asked me to go back on my previous inhalers and see if sats rise if they do she may put me on trimbo to try that.

What were you on before and do you know why they were changing your inhaler?

[Hummingbird2 in reply to jackdup]

Sirdupla and Braltus I believe they are looking to give one inhaler instead of 2

[jackdup in reply to Hummingbird2]

Ok, thank you. I know you mentioned your sats were down, did you notice a difference in your breathing as well?

[Hummingbird2 in reply to jackdup]

Less breathless

[jackdup in reply to Hummingbird2]

That is the important thing, glad to hear it.

I have been on Spiriva and Seritide for a few years and I did not have any problems. Fourteen days ago I was told to start using Trelegy and after this time period I can say I used to be able to climb up and down my stairs four times in a row without a problem, now one climb leaves me breathless, scarey. I also have an enlarged prostate and now I have to visit my favourite room about every 30 minutes. My legs have a very bad, "throbing" sensation in them and they feel very heavy. I have been back to the nurse and I have to return on the 30th May 2019 to talk things over. Am I happy?

I always had a philosphy that if something is not broken, do not fix it.

In the meantime, as I am a prisoner in my own home, life will change drastically.
