If I don't have symptoms, do I need to take my medications?

Hi Martha, thank you for reaching out! I am glad to hear you are feeling so well and not actively having symptoms at this time! We cannot offer medical advice or treatment recommendations over the internet (for your safety!) but I would encourage you to discuss these questions with your doctor. It may be that if you are feeling well, s/he might recommend you use your inhaler(s) on an as-needed basis. But this is a decision that should be made between the two of you! We do have an introductory article about natural remedies that might be of interest to you.

I would also encourage you to discuss any you may be considering with your doctor before beginning, just to be sure nothing in contraindicated for you. Please keep us posted on what you learn and how you are managing. Wishing you a gentle day. ~Allyson (COPD.net team)

Thanks, Allyson. I will definitely checkout the link you provided. I will also talk to my doctor later this month about the possibility of not using the medications everyday, but as needed. I have always had trouble taking medications. In fact, I am even allergic to Benadryl. I have a sister like me, who is in the medical profession. She just says that “the world is wired for ‘AC’ current, but we are wired for ‘DC.’ “ Once again, thanks for the info, and I will let you know how things go.
