@aggiern I’m waiting to hear from my doctor, looking into another medication because I’m out of breath just walking around my house, I’m guessing he waited to put in my request in January not December, giving a couple more days then reaching out, I just feel he’s not listening to me or there’s something he’s not telling me

@suzyq61 if you are having difficulty walking around the house, I would definitely call your Dr or his NP back and tell them you need this immediately. I’m sorry, I don’t know if you are from the US or not, but in US my Dr has samples of Brexit and Trelegy available. Just ask for them. I asked my Pulmonologist for Trelegy , along with Brexit, so I could alternate them. That seemed to help me. It wouldn’t hurt to try. My Pulmonologist didn’t think it was an issue. Also, are you using nighttime oxygen? I have emphysema, probably end stage or close enough, that I use oxygen during sleep. It seems to be helping me especially in the mornings.
But personally, I would call again or drive over if it’s not inconvenient and ask for samples plus possibly a Trelegy prescription to alternate. You have to be your own advocate . This is not medical advice it’s just what is helping me for now. Wishing you the best
