Diagged with COPD around 14 yrs ago and given the usual Spiriva/Symbicort meds.
When i learned that Symbicort is a Sterroid, I decided to limit my intake of that to ONE puff morning & evening.and have been doing perfectly well on that. Taking it easy I was quite capable of walking 3 miles (Actually did 5 once).
Whilst carrying out some more demanding work lately I tried upping the Symbicort dosage but it had zero effect.
I dont believe in taking meds unnecessarily but I do wonder what the experts would say about this?
I also wonder if these are the meds I need for ever or at some stage will I need something to replace it.
I am 74 yrs , 6'4" 15st and stopped smoking 14 yrs ago.
Thanks
