You beat me too it. I was going to post this yesterday and forgot. Thanks Jackie.
I plan on asking My Pulmo. about it and doing more research before I try it.

Linda; I don't know what you're currently taking but it is a very good medicine (plus it's "convenient". ) I'd be in serious trouble I think w/o it. I think Larry probably feels the same way re: not wanting to give it up.
It can however create a bit of havoc with your skin. It's funny becasue originally I use to say that I was sure that it was/did remain or build up a bit in a person's system. There were naysayers to that. Now I believe they'll tell you that you can retain up to or about 10%. Bottom line though; I'll take the being able to breathe over skin problems.
Matter of fact my arm is a bit messy right now (bit of broken vessels under the skin) Actually; now that I think about it it's really not a BIG deal. Maybe I'll take a shot/photo and post it. It wouldn't be an issue at all for someone if they're not overly "physical". I am; can't help it...I'm a tomboy.
It is though a great med IMHO

About time, its been around for half a dozen years here, more in Europe, if I could only get one medicine it would be the one I would choose. I think it would be fair to say that all inhaled steroids cause skin problems long term, my brittle skin started before symbicort. My skin is a mess on prednisone, then improves when I come off it. Never gets good  |
