My GP write me up for this inhaler this week. I have been breathless for a while now. Husband had TIA and severe acceleration of dementia ., unable to help him so he is currently in hospital with one to one care.I try to eat but don't want anything, unable to go out without help and up most of the night just plain worrying about everything. i hope the Trimbow will help my breathing and then I can move around the house more easily. Anyone using this inhaler please? Polly X

Polly, I have been taking this for almost a year now and feel more able to get about, much more than I did before! Didnt like at first but think that was my resistance to change more than anything! Glad I persevered as the advantages are easier breathing and more movement! Hope this is of some help to you!

I found instant relief with inhaler but side effects landed me in hospital stomach pain. Etc

Hi Polly. I have been on Trimbow for about 6 months now and have noticed a big improvement in my breathing. I hope you soon feel some benefit from it and I wish you and you husband a Happy Christmas. John xxx

I've been taking Trimbow since February Polly, find it better than other inhalers. Like you my husband is in a Nursing home after having a Stroke & sadly I can't look after him due to COPD & very breathless. The guilt I feel doing this is tremendous, but struggling these days looking after myself. Take care dear lady, thinking of you at this trying time.xx
