    • Close COPD & Emphysema

      Dx w/ COPD over 5 yrs ago. By the ER. My Family DR, at that time, refused to see me to treat me. Located a Pulmonary DR. Then a new FD (Internalist) who bases his office on his patients needs. So, was able to be tested on the spot, instead of being sent all over the city. Last spirometer test showed 36% of right lung is damaged. Am currently on Advair & Spiriva. Albuterol as needed. My medication works for me at this time. My major concern is having another attack that MITE trigger seizures.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Worked w/ no s/e
      Spiriva Working / Worked
      Works w/ no s/e
