Thank you so much! Your videos on COPD are beyond excellent. Your discussion of the medications used for exacerbations was particulary helpful to me when I had my first exacerbation two weeks ago. I did not have to be hospitalized. Understanding the medications given lessened my anxiety.
I am stage 4 oxygen 2 liters 24/7. I get out of breath walking short distances. I was put on antibiotics M.W.F also inhalers. Sometimes this is not enough and I will take pred 5mg maybe a day or 2 and it seems to help I do not have sputum or cough. Do you think this is ok? Does pred help with inflammation in the lungs? Can you recommend what the best vitamins are as I don't have much of an appetite. Sorry for all the questions. Thank you in advance.
Thats the best way I've been told about my COPD just having one now thanks so much really has helped The water and Island is a brilliant way and exactly how it feels

I am allowed to manage my own prednisone as needed. When you're getting pneumonia, you should start at 40mg. until you get to talk to your doctor.
Thank you. Including this in my lecture material for student nurses.
Thank you for blowing up the Tapering Myth! It is unsupported in the literature.

I do not have Atrovent so can I use Combivent to replace SAMA SABA?
Antihistaminics and leukotriene antagonist ??
These are unfortunately not so effective in exacerbation. I'm always giving the latest guidelines. Thanks for your feedback!
I have CVID and I swear inhaled steroids give me worse lung infections. Apparently, I am rare in this regard too.
