COPD Progression
Hi. I am new to the forum so this is just a bit of an introduction. I was diagnosed with Mild COPD (Emphysema) in 2018 and was asymptomatic and taking no medication until February this year when following a bout of Covid I developed a constant cough brought on by irritation and congestion in my chest

breathlessness
do I remember correctly that PMR can cause breathlessness. I’m concerned to find myself short of breath and I’m wondering if this can be the cause? Is it the PMR or the steroids? I have previously had a blue inhaler and wondering if it’s worth asking my GP for another. What are other’s experiences please

Relvar/trelegy
Hi, I've been puy on relvar and tolerated it well (fostair gave me the shakes) I've just got my prescription from the pharmacy and the inhaler is trelegy not relvar which is on prescription from doctor. Are they the same just different brands. Thought I'd ask on her as pharmacy is closed to today as

Reliever inhaler with dosage counter
Hi everyone, I’m sure I saw a post on here recently from someone who has been prescribed a new Salamol reliever inhaler a dry powder inhaler with a dosage counter, instead of the usual blue inhaler. I can’t find the post now but want to share the name with my asthma nurse. Anybody able to help? Jo

Easyhaler Salbutamol Sulfate inhaler
Have just had dispensed a different salamol inhaler, which is a dry inhaler and has a dose counter on the side. The latter should be easier to monitor instead of having to weigh salamol inhaler. Hope it is as effective as well. Wishing you all a pleasant weekend. 🤗

Hypersensitive Pneumonitis Due to Construction Dust
Hi everyone, I’ve just received a diagnosis after a crazy past 3 days. I have a new housing estate being built in the field adjacent to my house. The work has been ongoing for a couple of years but started at the furthest end. Last autumn as the work became viewable from our home I noticed I was suffering

Volatile SATS
Has anyone had experience of volatile SATS? For a while now I have been experiencing even more fatigue plus other symptoms. I do have an oxymeter and when checking my levels have been consistently low - down to 82 in April. My granddaughter was staying with me and she phoned 111 who sent paramedics

GP has said I need to switch from Fostair to Luforbec as it’s cheaper - anyone else?
Currently on Fostair 100/6. It’s working perfectly. GP wants to try me on Fostair NEXThaler dry powder inhaler to save plastics and gas emissions. They said if I don’t like it and want to go back to Fostair I need to switch to lufoerbec as it’s cheaper. Slightly concerned as I’m happy with what I am

Fostair - switch from aerosol inhaler to NEXThaler dry powder inhaler
Gp wants to switch me from the regular aerosol 100/6 inhaler to the dry powder inhaler (NEXThaler). What is everyone’s experience with the nexthaler? Did you find it good or bad?

The ‘100 day cough’ - possible use of steroids
I came off steroids at the end of January this year, after 4 years in total for PMR. I have what has been termed the 100 day cough that persists - for 12 weeks and counting. I’ve been informed that I have post infection inflammation and an inhaler has been prescribed (I’m on my second). It has two drugs
