For COPD "I took Anoro off and on for 3 years for COPD. Each time I took it for a few months and I had severe leg pain. I would stop, and the pain would be gone in 2-3 days. Then the doctor and pharmacist would tell me I was wrong, that Anoro didn't cause muscle pain. The pain became so terrible that I could not walk more than 7-10 steps at a time. I stopped it for good and relied on rescue inhalers for when I struggled to breathe. Two and one-half years ago, I switched to Trelegy. I like it very, very much. Then, 1 1/2 years ago, I was diagnosed with axonal polyneuropathy. Then the doctor at a renowned institution wondered if the beta agonist had caused the neuropathy. Unfortunate, as I now have a lifelong degenerative disease that MAY have been caused by Anoro and the beta agonist."

For COPD "Lung DR gave me samples of this, saying it would keep me from getting any worse. On day 3, I woke up with so much pain I couldn't move, along with explosive diarrhea. It was ungodly, the result is I am in a wheelchair. Because of this drug, what company uses milk proteins in meds? DR never asked me if I was milk intolerant or had a history of muscle pain, hello? I reported this reaction to his office in writing and with phone calls, I got no response. I could no longer work, this really put a # on me, a life changer. Yeah, be careful."

For COPD "I have COPD, started Anoro Ellipta 11 months ago. I thought it was a miracle drug at first, easier breathing, didn't need a rescue inhaler for months. 7 months into using it, my legs started hurting so bad, had X-rays for blood clots, had more X-rays, they saw mild osteoarthritis. Still in pain, went to a chiropractor to get relief, none. I also developed a terrible cough in the last few months. I decided to check out this site, and I am convinced it is the Anoro. I need to call my pulmonologist."
