Frequency of flareups for COPD enough to have to go on anabiotic’s

I guess I just assumed everyone is in AZ… summer is tough in AZ also…. I keep the air on all year round for my husband… what I can tell you from previous experience that three flareups in three months is extreme… I am just confused why you think you don’t need your O2.. we’ve always been told that oxygen is your friend…

I live in north central Florida.
I don't need it while I am sedentary such as watching television, etc. I keep up with my sats and HR. It also gives my nose a break from the cannula.
I am addressing the multiple flares with my pulmonologist next week. It could have been/be and underlying infection that wasn't knocked out with the first rounds. When I started the antibiotics, my ability to funtion was night and day (as my husband put it). I'll see how I do after this round and go from there (finishing antibiotics today).
I might be one that need to be on prophylactic temporarily, but I will leave that to my pulmonologist. There are so many factors involved in figuring out the best plan for each individual. Srart with the standard and modify as needed.
