Weaning off Breo

@jenben59 I have a lot of congestion and am working on ways to decrease that. I have osteoporosis and have been on this medication for 3 years. My osteoporosis is worse, not blaming the Breo solely, but it can be a factor. Just would like to give my body a break while I work on some things that are natural, healthy eating, weight bearing exercises, etc.

@joycecates Thanks for the information. I have osteoporosis but it is like just at the first level(?) not extreme and is only in L4, L5, and S1. I am really trying to improve with better diet, exercise, and increase in Vitamins D, K, and calcium. I was prescribed a pill but I got very concerned about side effects, the possibility of a broken thigh bone, and possibility of jaw bone problems. It is almost a gamble to try to improve one problem and you may end up with another. what do you think?
