I take spiriva and advair in the morning and advair in the afternoon. I have proventil for emergencies. I use a nebulizer with albuterol 4 times a day.!i was on oxygen for a year and now I am not. I lost 50 pounds and want to lose 25 more. I walk 4 miles 3 times a day at my mall. I can't deal with heat at all. I started iff slow of course but boy was it worth it to be off that oxygen.
