I don’t have asthma . I am a stage 4 (they say) Emphysema patient . I have used the inhaler Trelegy for two years . I didn’t have any symptoms besides low air. So they put me on Trelegy. They asked me shortly after if it helps . I could not say . I felt no difference . I am on 24/7 4 ltr oxygen . I have been taking Guaifenesin and a prescription for acid reflux . I have good days more than bad . I have occasional chest/lung pain. I am not able to walk long distances or exercise. My oxygen gets down to 85 when I dress myself . Even with my air on . I still say that I do not know what Trelegy does for me . I have never been an advocate of medicines . Looking back I don’t think I should have started it . I sure would not start it again . I don’t think anyone should start an inhaler or drug if they are not sure they need it . That is my “4 Ltrs” on the subject. 🧐Blessed Be, Crystalena

Wow thank you for sharing your story. Seems you are alluding to the inhaler causing more problems for you. It’s so hard to know what is the right path to take. I’ve already been on a medication that gave me massive skin cancer so I am gun shy to say the least.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. All help in making decisions
