Hi Group,
I am "Hub" from Florida diagnosed with COPD several years ago. Taking Wixela Inhub inhaler along with Spiriva Respimat, Xopenex rescue inhaler, and Levalbuterol nebulizer. COPD results of Covid pneumonia which severely scarred my lungs. Also started taking 10mg of prednisone for the bronchial spasms. Found the nebulizer is the only thing that helps when I am in trouble. Trying to wean off of prednisone. I am also on 3 units of oxygen at home with the oxygen generator and Inogen one portable generator. I don't need oxygen when sitting up resting.
This is year 2. I also have a bed that adjusts-a real life saver as mornings are tough with all the congestion. Taking 12 hour Mucinex before bed helps. Still play occasional 9 holes of golf from a cart. Done with tennis-just a chore to walk far as legs get wobbly. Doctors all say my tests indicate no change but I feel weaker by the day. I also have congestive heart failure and stage 3 kidney disease-mostly from covid., again doctors say no change! I like pool exercise and treadmill and elliptical in gym. I have a battery assist recumbent tricycle and a stand up walker that I use. I'm 82 and could use any advice you have.
