,
I am sorry to hear of your situation. It seems to me the only solution to help your breathing is to get out of your environment. Mold in your trailer, cigar smoke residue, barrel burning, all contribute to your flare ups, as I am sure you are aware. No amount of treatments will take away the irritants to your lungs. The solution of moving is most likely not viable, but I see no other way to avoid the triggers to your flare ups. One of my neighbors burn in their backyard and also smoke meat. Thank heavens it is not a daily thing, but I cannot go outside when they are doing it, as it causes a flare up for me. I also cannot go to my daughter's house to visit my grandsons because her dog's dander and hair cause me to flare up. The only way to avoid flare ups is to avoid the triggers. I can offer no other suggestions other than talk to your spouse and talk to your neighbor and see if they can avoid doing the things that irritate your lungs. If that does not work, moving to another location is the only solution I see. Hope you can work it all out. God Bless!
when I read your notification I couldn’t help but feel for you because my wife is going through much of the same problems she is using the same Ellipta and steroids as you are and she is really struggling to eat anything and when she does it isn’t much but she is sleeping more than normal and is that a symptom we should be concerned about? Please talk to us we could do with some input from someone who is going through similar symptoms NOT! I JUST REPLIED.WASN'T DONE AND YOU ERASED IT!! THANKS ALOT!!!
, was it that you were commenting, and the comment was deleted before it could be posted? Sometimes there are technical glitches, and that happens. I can see on our end that none of your recent comments were deleted by our team. If you would like, I would encourage you to try again! Or some find it helpful to write their comments down in a different document and then copy and paste them so that if they get lost in a glitch, they don't have to start from scratch. What do you think? All the best, Sam S. (COPD.net, team member).
