Cilla, you might want to check with your doctor about the Advair. I can't believe that just one inhaler can make such a difference. It's and expensive one but if you have Medicare or an insurance it cover's 80% of the cost or if you qualify for low income it's all covered. I was on all the medicine they could give for COPD, 2 different nebulizer meds, plus some other inhalers. It has taken the place of all but two of my kind of pills(theophyln and low dose predinisone) but the Theo. has been cut way down and am being tapered off of it. and I only use Albuterol puffer or nebuliser if I feel I need it. It's a great relief. I don't feel "chained" to home and nebuliser now. and here I just bought a portable neb. LOL Just a thought, maybe you'd be up for it.
