For COPD, Maintenance "I had to go on it because Salbutamol use became excessive and not really working anymore. I do struggle a bit with side effects, but I am 64 and have a post-viral syndrome, so any medication can whack me around. I go to the loo a bit on this and a bit itchy, but otherwise, it is great to breathe freely again, just like I used to! I do get a bit of trouble getting off to sleep, but that is getting better. I persevere with this because I know my life is being shortened with COPD and it can only get worse, and this medication may alleviate the worst symptoms in the next few years. I do not like gasping for breath while talking to my husband. Not a nice look."

For Asthma, Maintenance "Have a complicated medical history including Addison's disease, pure autonomic failure, and many other secondary conditions. I have uncontrolled cough variant asthma. My doctor had me on 1.25 mcg last year when I struggled for 5 months to control my cough. This year I'm on 2.5 mcg. I'm on day 5, and this morning I ruptured a tendon in my wrist. I'm not sure if it's related, but the timeframe would indicate a possible correlation. Also, I have severe dry mouth, sores inside my mouth, and blurry vision. Lastly, when I take the inhaler, it triggers a bronchospasm, so now I start breathing in just before I activate the stream. I think it is working, but I am on 21 meds, so I can't be 100% certain."

For COPD, Maintenance "After 10 successful years on the Spiriva inhaler, it became significantly less effective a few months ago. I started Spiriva Respimat two weeks ago, and the improvement to my breathing and energy is significant. Slight side effects of itchy eyes and difficulty urinating are the same."

For COPD, Maintenance "Started using Respimat version Spiriva. Every other use of this button sticks in, so it delivers when I turn it. Hope the next Respimat box operates correctly."
