Since I take this Spiriva, I was very upset to hear about this in the evening news. Damn if you do, damn if you don't. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death in the US. Heart attack is the leading cause of death for those with COPD, and Spiriva could cause a heart attack or heart related death...

I tosed my spirva.....

Just a steriods help those with lung problems breath better, they cause cataracts and other medical problems. And the cure for a cataract can be worse than the cataract itself.

The VA uses spirvia and atrovent religiously. A smart mouthed VA so-called pulmonary therapist attempted to change me from Advair to spirvia once and I refused and made her very angry. She proceeded to tell me how smart she was and how uneducated I was. She said she had very large percent of her patients up walking around on spirvia. I replied with, yea, if the don't count the ones you've killed, I guess you could have a good percentage average up walking around.
