@A MyCOPDTeam Member, yeah, just got over mine, too. Still healing and adjusting. I think many Americans are having extra stress, right now, so pray for us. I'm still singing every day 💞

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I know someone who's using it that has asthma. I'm curious about how it'll be for COPD, but wary of side effects. Still it means attention is being given. I have a hard time with weather changes so maybe 🤔 I hope you are feeling well ❤️

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I don't know if we're supposed to discuss politics, but I'm voting for the future, not the past. 🤩

Thanks JanConverse I have heard it was doing clinical trials he in the UK, But is only available privately, But they expected it to be on the NHS in the UK next year. That means it will be free to COPD suffers here.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, yes, it's Dupixent, now being considered for people with COPD and Asthma overlap. It's a biologic drug injection once a month. It's been used for nasal polyps and asthma when other drugs aren't working well. It's expensive, though.
