I'm new to all this COPD stuff. Medications, antibiotics, inhalers, nebulizers, etc. It's exhausting. My Pulmonologist hasn't been as forthcoming with info as I wish he were. I guess some doctors forget that the patient doesn't always know what's out there for medications that are helpful. I never would have guessed at 74 I'd be dealing with such scary issues. But, I'm putting on my "big girl pants" and researching every shred of info I can find to assure myself that when I talk to my doctor, I know what I'm talking about and can give him accurate descriptions of symptoms I'm having. In reading the posts on this site I can surely see the challenges COPD can present and that each individual reacts differently not only to the disease but to the medications too. Glad to have this support group available to me and thank you all for the info you've already given me.
