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?

@haveaheadache Been on Spiriva for about 6 months-works fine but affects my voice.
