prednisone and antibiotic use for copd, how often
Is it really necessary for both? I hate prednisone and the dosage is for a long time. Does anyone just take the antibiotic only? Prednisone keeps me from sleeping for one thing. Also, do you start them both or alone at first sign of a cold or wait till you get phylum and coughing. Seems like move start with sinus and then eventually turn into phylum.

I have both COPD and Scleroderma. I was given a Symbacort inhaler while in the hospital for severe pneumonia and told to stay on it until empty.
After a few days without it I didn’t breathe as well. Asked my pulmonologist for a prescription but she said the steroids in it are dangerous due to the Scleroderma. She recommended Spiriva.
Haven’t tried it yet. Has anyone tried it and how did you like it?
