@sueinmn , I was recently changed to Symbicort from Wixela ( generic Advair). My Medicare part D drug insurance pays for it but not the Wixela or Advair. Are you saying the Symbicort helped you ( but your PFT was what? better or worse) I know that Cleveland clinic & national Jewish are now saying on their websites that even inhaled steroids have consequences for bronchiectasis, but without them, I cannot breathe. I am due for another PFT next month
