@sueinmn thank you Sue. You are active. When I was at the pulmonary sessions the therapist said to use the inhaler proactively, before the exercise. So how many times a day do you allow yourself to use levalbuterol? I used it three four times before I started using Dupixent. Now after two months it’s much better probably the inflamation decreased. How much do you let yourself to strain and when do you know your limits? Thank you

@lilianna I use Symbicort (LABA combo) 2-3 times daily instead of levalbuterol. Rarely use levalbuterol - maybe 1-2 times a month.
I exert, huff and puff, push myself quite hard - it seldom stops me because shortness of breath has been my status quo for over half my life, so sometimes I don't even notice. For example, today after a bunch of other yard work, I started mowing - when I got short of breath, I just slowed down - way down - and realized my O2 must be a little low, but I finished the patch. Then I sat down, drank some water and rested until my respiration was normal - it took about 10 minutes.
I realize my way is not for everyone, but I'm a stubborn old lady.
