New drug: Anyone have experience with the inhaler Anoro ellipta?

@jfperrone- Good morning. There are several new inhalers with the term Elipta. I use Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone, umeclidinium, and vilanterol), which is used to treat COPD. It has made a huge difference in my breathing.
I scanned your profile but didn't see that you used inhalers. Do you also have asthma? The link below will explain all of the new inhalers.

I have severe COPD and Alpha 1 (MZ). I use nebulizer because I believe they work better AND covered under part B, so with my supplement out of pocket is ZERO. I use BRAVANA, DUONEB, BUDESINIDE, AND ALBUTERAL as rescue inhaler.
I just quit Trelegy because I lost my voice and had lots of chronic pain in the lower spine
area. Haven't talked to doctor about this----second dau= My voice is almost normal, lower back pain is way less.
Is Trelegy doing this to me?????????

Based on previous tests my Doctor said I had COPD. In a phone visit I told him I had some wheezing; he prescribed Anora, to be taken for a month. I guess as a test? Anyway the results were not good, quite the opposite. I developed a deep cough; and a lot of choking mucus all of which seemed to gradually disappear once I stopped. Also my breathing became more labored (short of breath)when I exerted myself. I have not had the opportunity to report back to the Doctor yet.
