Re: Do You Use An Inhaler?

I have stage 4 emphysema and it sure puts the weight on you!

 

I use Advair and an abuterol inhaler, my weight went from my average of 110 to 129 (today at the Dr's office).

 

I am miserable and ALWAYS hungry!!!

Hi @Sooner ,

 

This has been a tough season for those of us with allergies.

 

I have mild asthma but when I was quite ill a few years ago when Covid was first going around, it had really aggravated my asthma and it had made my lungs more reactive so I was put on a combo. inhaler--one with cortisone in it, along with a quick-acting medication.

 

So I use Advair daily, plus I also use a rescue inhaler when I need one--generic ProAir, or albuterol.

 

I also take an antihistimine daily year 'round. It helps for various allergic symptoms.

I appreciate the responses!  You told me just what I needed to know to have an intelligent discussion with my doc!  I appreciate that y'all are generous enough to share experience. 

 

You can get the facts from reading, but experience comes from people!  Heart
